Students will work in teams, adding to articles having to do with technologies related to the Grand Challenges of Engineering. I will follow the guidance of "finding articles" and offer them choices. I expect to dedicate about 9 weeks to the assignment.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:

  • [https://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia#page=12 Editing Wikipedia], pages 12 and 14

{{assignment|Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia}}

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."

Resource: [https://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia#page=13 Editing Wikipedia], page 13

{{assignment|Assignment - Continue improving your article}}

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

{{assignment|Assignment - Polish your work}}

Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!

{{assignment|Assignment - Final article}}

It's the final week to develop your article.

  • Read [https://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia#page=15 Editing Wikipedia] page 15 to review a final check-list before completing your assignment.
  • Don't forget that you can ask for help from your Wikipedia Expert at any time!
