What is your
proposed topic?
My proposed topic is not a place or thing,
rather a concept. A concept of the sciences across the campus, and how
everything is connected to a specific idea that flows not just in one place but
all over. Through the construction and the funding to the student body that
studies, plays/watches sports, and lives a life outside of school. There is a
very broad scope over my project and the topic in general is: the aspects that
make life, life.
·
Why do you want
to explore this topic in this assignment/class?
The effects that having an interconnected idea
can have over a campus population, while still having individuality and a sense
of self. Also how the surrounding environment affect the people who are in it.
·
How will you
evaluate your topic?
I will determine this by finding works of
theories, projects, and analysis that have occurred on the ASU campus and then
putting them into a complete point by point map. This map will depict the quest
to find science from one place to another. As well as the cost that this campus
has evoked over the years and the time it took to build this place of learning.
The first two sources that I have are
merely examples of physics and how they act in our lives as well as what
science means for us as a whole. There is a broad over view of what physics
includes and how the laws and theories are realized and brought into fruition. They
were very helpful in the fact that they showed the big picture and that I can
then simplify and shrink this into what I need for the project. The first is a
book titled: Physics by: Tippens, Paul E,
this book describes physics at its core using an algebraic method rather than
calculus. This in its own right is very nice in that it takes something very
complicated and daunting and makes it simplistic. The second source is a
journal by the American Institute of Physics; American Physical Society; Society
of Rheology (U.S.). To speak briefly and simplistically this is about how to
apply the physics that exist everywhere. And, finally my third source has no
specific author but is merely a stack of files in the archives. They show the
construct of ASU from its earliest state. All of these sources give insight
into the complexities of ASU and the connections that the individual has with
the school and with each other. Also they show how and why the school was built
as it was, some parts for capacity, others for style, and all for a function.
