In your engineering notebook, answer the following questions:
Student 1
Student 2
Student 3
Student 4
Now find a table in the middle of the room for all your group members to share information learned and to discuss the following question:
"Is reverse engineering an ethical way to inspire innovation and further technology?"
By the end of your discussion, you group must be able to take a stance together that you are able to defend against groups with other opinions.
- Why was putting the Hot Wheels Monster Jam car back together so difficult?
- Give your personal opinion on if Hot Wheels made this difficult on purpose.
Student 1
- Read the following article: Reverse Engineering
- Read the next article: Ethics in Computing
- Now find an item that has been reversed engineered and determine for yourself if this was a positive case (good) or negative case (bad) of reverse engineering.
Student 2
- Read the following article: Dyson Fan for Propulsion and Reverse Engineered for Wind Turbine
- Find an article that is on the opposite side of reverse engineering (that it is bad).
- Now find an item that has been reversed engineered and determine for yourself if this was a positive case (good) or negative case (bad) of reverse engineering.
Student 3
- Read the following article: Apple vs Samsung Scorecard
- Find an article that is on the opposite side of reverse engineering (that is good).
- Now find an item that has been reversed engineered and determine for yourself if this was a positive case (good) or negative case (bad) of reverse engineering.
Student 4
- Explore this website (a business that uses Reverse Engineering) and determine methods they use, products they have worked on (case studies) and ethical issues they watch out for: pes Performance
- Find another company that uses reverse engineering and compare the products they create and techniques they use with the products and techniques at pes Performance.
- Now find an item that has been reversed engineered and determine for yourself if this was a positive case (good) or negative case (bad) of reverse engineering.
