Drawing from a variety of explicitly datelined technical news sources,

 Drawing from a variety of explicitly datelined technical news sources, summarize and thoughtfully analyze three engineering-related news articles. (use only news articles that are datelined from October 2020 to January 2021.)

Write about a variety of topics, drawn from articles in the prescribed date range.  

 Use a variety of sources — at most two articles from any publication or web site. 

Use articles that provide technical substance, not mere highlights. If you don’t have enough to say to complete the worksheet for an article, select a different article. You might also need to think more deeply.

If an article explores several unrelated topics, focus on one topic for the assignment.

Avoid quoting from the news articles. Instead, practice your skills in summarizing and paraphrasing. (If you must quote briefly, be sure to use quote marks.)

Make your writing concise (not wordy or repetitive). Be specific, and strive for accuracy. Write whole, readable sentences, not just phrases.  

Avoid vague generalities (“Automation will put people out of work”) and unrealistic solutions (“so we’ll train them all to be robot technicians”). 

questions are in the files. Sources of articles are included as well.
