10. Term Paper
Biomimetic Proposal

11. Term Paper
The term paper is an individual requirement where you will propose your own biomimetic technology or concept. 
These are the characteristics of the biomimetics proposal:
The technology or concept must not yet be existing.
However, you will still need a basis of the concept. This includes existing products or research. Your concept may be an improvement or enhancement of current research, inventions, or products.
The project will be passed on the date of the FINALS
This is an individual project
This will compose 10% of your grade

12. Term paper
The term paper is different from the Oral Group Reporting since the reporting is about topics and concepts that are already existing, while the Special Project is about proposing your own biomimetic concept that is still nonexistent or futuristic.
Your proposal should follow the following formats:
Calibri/Tahoma/TNR/Arial/Verdana/Garamond font size 10 for body text.
Short bond paper
1 inch margin on all sides.
Minimum of three pages.
