The purpose of this assignment is to create a design challenge that highlights various problem-solving techniques. Write a paper of approximately 250-500 words utilizing a business writing format to present and frame the design challenge. Reference the example provided in The Field Guide to Human-Centered Design for additional information. Address the following:
What problem are you trying to solve? Who will be affected by the problem?
To what degree will the group identified be affected?
Consider that new technologies are being developed and are emerging through the hype cycle. Imagine some of the converging technology within the next 2-5 years that might enable a solution to your problem. Conduct research on companies or groups that are working on these emerging technologies. Discuss how human-centered design and technological advances could offer possible solutions to the problem you are trying to solve.
What are some of the initial constraints? For example, does the target customer segment have money to pay for it? Is a particular resource too expensive? Does the target need to be educated about how to use the product?
What are some possible variants to the design challenge? For example, are there substitute resources, different adjustments to the value property, or other modifications to the business model that could make it viable?

The game of Pig is a simple two-player dice game in which the first player to reach 100 or more points wins. How to play: Players take turns rolling one six-sided dice and following these rules: If the player rolls 2 through 6, then he/she can either a. “Roll Again” or b. “Hold” At this point, the sum of all rolls is added to the player’s score, and it becomes the other player’s turn. If the player rolls 1 before he/she decides to stop rolling, the player scores 0 for that round and it's the other player's turn. Write a program that plays the game of Pig, where one player is a human and the other is the computer. Your program should have a GUI interface. At the beginning or after each game, the player should be able choose either “start a new game” or “look up history records”. If the user selects “Look up History Records”, he/she will see a list of all games played on that machine so far, with four columns: Game result: win or lose Date and time Total points Who is the player: computer or human The user should be able to sort the list in different ways by clicking on each of the column title. in Java

Can computers think?
If functionalist theory of mind is right, then a system that is able to perform the same cognitive functions as a human being, a system that reacts to the stimuli in the same way as we do, a system that processes the information and produces the same output as we do, should actually be described as having a mind. If they are right, computers could literally be described as being able to play chess, speak language, do the math and our minds should be understood simply as computational systems. Do you agree? Can computers actually think, or are they just simulating thinking?
CAPTCHA, a test to distinguish human responses from computer responses, relies on the processing of visual information, ability to read distorted symbols. Do you think programmers will be able to develop programs that will let the computers pass this test. How do you prove to me that you are not a computer but a real student? Is our mind simply a very complex computer?
Think of the movies such as Artificial Intelligence or Ex Machina that portray robots with the apparent ability to function and communicate as humans: If we could one day create such robots, would you say they were really feeling and thinking or just act as if they do?

1. Examine the colored chart at the bottom of the screen. It is divided into five categories. Roll over the icons (right side) to see what five categories are displayed. The first one has been answered for you.

2. Each diamond on the chart represents an event that happened. Go to the year 400 and click on the diamond to find out what new technology occured. A new screen will open with more information. What was this technology and why would it have an impact on population growth?
3. Click on other diamonds to find out impacts on human populations. Complete the chart below with 4 “events” that impacted human growth.

Year |
Event |
Why did it affect growth? |
4. Use the tool at the bottom to move through time. (slide to right). How did the number of dots on the map change? What areas were the most populated in 1800?
5. You can use the magnifying glass to zoom into areas in the 1990’s and 2000’s. What “people and society” event happened in 1980 that was aimed at population growth?
6. You can use the magnifying glass to zoom into areas in the 1990’s and 2000’s. What agricultural problem occurred in 2006?
7. The timeline makes predictions about the future. What year are they predicting there will be freshwater shortages? Suggest how this shortage may affect the human population.
8. The top menu has a button called overlays.Use the dropdown menu to select “Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions.” What happens to CO2 emissions between 1751 and 2010? How do you know?
9. In the year 2000, which areas had the most CO2 emissions? How do you know?
10. Use the dropdown menu to overlay fertility rate. Move the slider to 1950. What was the average number of children per woman in the US at this time? What was the fertility rate in the year 2000? What do these two numbers tell you about the population of the United States?
Examine the graph shown below: CE = Common Era
11. The graph starts in the year 1 C.E. How many years
did it take for the population to reach 1 billion
people?
12. It took 123 years to grow from 1 billion to 2 billion people. How long did it take to get from 6 billion to 7
billion people? What does this mean about the rate of
population growth?
13. Suggest a reason why the population grew so slowly
before the 1800s.
Examine the graph below. (SOURCE: EPA)
14. What type of greenhouse gas is the most prevalent worldwide?
15. What human activities contribute CO2 to the atmosphere (hint: look at the graph for clues)?
16. A “greenhouse gas” is one that absorbs infrared radiation (heat) and traps that heat in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring effect that is important to life on the planet. Without this effect, the earth would be too cold for life to exist.
How does an excess amount of CO2 in the air contribute to Earth’s warming? Use the diagram for reference.
17. Are greenhouse gases good, bad, or neither? Explain your answer.
Examine the graph below. (SOURCE: NASA)
18. Which greenhouse gas is being graphed?
19. What is the main take-away from this graph. Summarize what is being shown.
20. What is causing the spike at the end of the graph?

Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska showing the changes that have occurred to Muir
Glacier between September 2, 1892 and August 11, 2005.
22. How does this set of photographs relate to the human
population? (Consider everything you have learned so far in this
module.)
23. Connect the photo above to the diagram on the right showing sea level changes. How are they connected?
24. FINAL SYNTHESIS.
Consider all of the data, graphs and information you have just learned. Discuss how human populations have an overall impact on the planet?

v = mE
The mobility (m) of an ionic particle is determined by particle size, shape, and charge, and the temperature during the separation, and is constant under defined electrophoretic conditions. At a pH of 9.5, tyrosine is strongly attracted to the positive end of an electrophoresis gel, whereas lysine moves a very small distance from the origin.
