Topic E-waste is becoming a significant problem to be addressed. The rapid transit of technology and its falling prices mean that consumers are easily able to buy newer releases of electronic equipment such as mobile phones, relegating the previous release to waste. This is compounded by the very strong marketing that accompanies each such release. E-waste is quite different from general waste such as organic waste in that we cannot just bury it in the ground and hope that it goes away. You may find this recent news article in the Australian context informative as to the nature of the problem. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-10/australian-e-waste-ending-up-in-toxic-african-dump/8339760 Group Assignment Instructions • Develop a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) providing high level view of the problem you haveidentified through your research. Indicate the key factors that contribute to the problem of e-waste. • Having the high-level view, pick one aspect and follow the Five Phases of System Dynamics to carry out a solution. You need to use Vensim (www.vensim.com) for drawing CLDs, constructing SFDs, and conducting dynamic modelling. • While applying the System Dynamics methodology, you may use data that you have sourced from publicly available sources, with due acknowledgement, or in the absence of such data, you may make reasonable assumptions as to the data. • You need to submit a 6-page paper in the IEEE Journal paper format. (Refer to the attachment for the template). • For submission procedure, refer to Subject Outline. • The group assignment has additional submission criteria discussed below: 1. All Vensim diagrams should be provided in landscape A4 format as well as embedded within the paper. 2. All equations and data (real or assumed) should be provided at the end of your paper. This is included in the required page count. 3. Turnitin submissions should not have any pictures. Vensim diagrams should not be submitted as pictures.
