Sample Assignment:Bringing An Idea To Fruition
ENG 3771 students will spend the first part of the semester building a “personal brand” including letterhead, business cards, and an OpenLab blog related to one of their professional interests. Over the remainder of the semester, students will develop a project capable of bringing funding or recognition in support of their interests. Develop a concept “on paper” (i.e. paper prototyping) through several
iterations (e.g. ZaneStyles going mobile). Research and explore crowdfunding, granting, revenue-based, and self-
funded opportunities to develop this concept and the interest behind it. Students create the documentation, text, and graphics needed to initiate a
small campaign in support of their idea. Students will present an ePortfolio of their collected work (Kickstarter
campaign optional) as a final project with a self-evaluative reflective analysis.
