Objective of Assignment

This assignment will give you a chance to deepen your knowledge in an area of biomechanics that interests you. We expect that you will remember what you learn from writing this paper long after the class is over. This assignment will get you into the literature where you can see for yourself the results of biomechanics research. This paper may also serve as a springboard for your future independent studies or research projects. The assignment will help hone your critical reading and writing skills, which are helpful in many endeavors. This will also give you some team project experience.

Overview of Assignment

Survey the literature on a specific topic in the field of movement biomechanics. Describe the current state-of-the-art and suggest areas that require further research. Then briefly describe how you would investigate a specific problem yourself.
