9. Assessment of Outcome and Project Timeline Outcomes will be assessed through (1) feedback from NSF program directors on annual and final project reports, (2) number and quality of publications in journals and conference proceedings, (3) feedback from colleagues and other experts on presentations and/or posters at technical conferences, and (4) evaluation from the ultrasonic machinery and additive manufacturing industries. The project timeline is shown in Table 3. 10. Broader Impacts 10.1. Impacts on industry and society The uncompetitive qualities of the AM-fabricated metal parts limit the wide industrial applications of AM processes. The results from the proposed research will help to establish an efficient and effective process for additive manufacturing and remanufacturing of metal parts with significantly improved qualities. Specifically, the proposed research will provide an engineering solution to reduce or eliminate uncertainties and common defects in LENS additive manufacturing of metal materials by integrating ultrasonic vibration. Such solution will broaden the applications of AM processes in the major industries in the U.S. where metal materials are heavily used, including aerospace industry, medical instruments and implants industry, automobile industry, machine tool industry, etc. UV-A LENS innovates the AM industry (both AM manufacturer and AM service provider) and ultrasonic applicable industry. The successful completion of the proposed research can help
Guidelines are created to ensure a success interview process. Setup meeting time with the individuals, which will be interviewed and be prepared and on time. When conducting the interview examine the background of the organization and have a checklist readily available. Be on time for the interview be sure to pay close attention to what the user is saying and what the company are looking for. Refrain form using computer and information technology jargon. Collect both qualitative and quantitative information from the user. Distinguish between what is a desirable and essential requirement. Repeat back to the user what is
I think that I did a pretty good job on this project because I put a lot of hard work and dedication into it. Almost everyday during class I tried to read enough of my book so that I could get one reading log done every other night. I did not execute this plan. I should have read the due dates of future checks and what all of the checks actually consisted of so that I could have planned better and would not have gotten as far behind as I did. While doing this project I feel that I could have used my time more wisely and I could have managed my work a lot better than I did. On the Global Context parts of the project I feel like I did a very good job on them because I picked a perfect Global Context that I think represents the book better than
Trying to capture all of the details in the executive summary to develop a successful improvement project was challenging. The summary was very helpful in gaining leadership support as it created a thorough picture of how the improvement project will create change and positive outcomes. The foot care project is designed to prevent serious complications, promote wellness, and avoid the high costs associated with the interventions. The most challenging part of the summary for me was determining how to evaluate the outcomes of the tools I was going to use to make sure the right data was being captured. Creating the right tools to achieve the best outcomes was the easier part of the two. Knowing how to evaluate the outcomes to make improvements
1 Malcolm will follow instructions given to him by PS and LCCC staff. - Mostly met. Malcolm follows task-oriented instructions given to him by staff members. 2 Malcolm will improve on his time management skills. - Mostly met. Malcolm's attendance has improved since his last EPM. He has been absent only one day since then and emailed his manager that morning.
My final art project is extremely easy to understand. First, I started choosing multiple ways of art projects that I will be presenting on the final day. One of my option is to bring some multiple ceramics figurine I made when I was in ceramic class back in high school. Finally, I encounter making an art using color pencils with random geometric shapes. I named my project Geo, Geo short for geometric shapes. My art has zero negative space also knows as empty white space. The reason of this was to provide a clean finish. Honestly it took me longer than I expected to finish my art final project. The reason is I have multiple things on my plate and I have to balance everything.
In order to have an effective evidence based project literature needs be gathered. Once that occurs the available resources need to be appraised. Several methods exist in order to properly appraise and evaluate the literature found for the projects problem and purposed solution. This paper will analyze research articles found with the use of the Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklist and the Evaluation Table Template provided by Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2015). The following paragraphs will also discuss the description of search methods used, give a summary of the articles, and their validity in further detail.
Most teachers would give their students a written test or an essay to write but project based tests are more beneficial than other teachers would think. Tests or projects that include building or drawing put students to the test and see what they can come up with. The student uses his or her critical thinking skills to create something beautiful. With written tests kids only use the knowledge; they acquire in class. If the student does not pay attention, they have to use their critical thinking or guessing skills to complete their task. Bringing books and audio hearings to life is a creative concept and has a ton of outcomes for different students. A recent project has to do with the major setting of the book called, The True
For my 20 time project I did two things. The first was that I made a sign. The sign was cut out from a big sheet of steel, and then I programed the laser cutter to cut out the sign with a little help. The second thing I did was fix my broken four wheeler, I did this by welding a piece that broke off back on. I had help from my dad's friend who is the one who owns a laser cutter and the welder.
For as along as I can remember, literacy has always been incorporated into my daily life. More specifically, an assignment that stand outs above all was my Graduation Project. The assignment was strung out over a course of one and a half school years due to the excessive amount of work and editing process required to complete the undertaking. The Graduation Project was lengthy, citation filled, and an edit worthy task. This was very difficult to me due to it being my first exposure to such a detailed assignment. Along with the paper, I had to complete an interview, volunteer hours, a presentation, product, and several forms of documentation. The essay opened my eyes to new important features such as the length of the paper. This is because it was the longest paper I have ever written. It was also a new experience to properly citing a paper. The last important task that stood out was the editing process because of the multiple drafts that I had to complete. Overall my
I have conducted a clinical practice project within the emergency department triage area in which I work. Evidence based research show that inefficiencies and delay of patient care may result in undesirable patient satisfaction and poor patient outcomes. Through a comprehensive and collaborative process, I will implement operational changes of two triage systems; quick triage and Twiage. The implementations of both of these systems will allow the department to accommodate the increased patient volume and improve the patient wait times, thus improving the quality of care and increasing patient satisfaction. This paper will include the current triaging problem, an organization that supports my chosen clinical project, proposed solutions, my
Project monitoring is the process of monitoring and routinely collection of information or useful data on all the aspects of a project. Monitoring also does entail the giving back of the feedback of the data collected on the project to the people benefiting on it. Giving the feedback back enables the information to be used on coming up with accurate decisions on how to improve on the project performance.
The project execution phase of the Project Management Lifecycle is exactly where the work gets done. This is the third phase of the project management life cycle, after Initiation and planning phase project enter into execution phase. In this phase literally project get start to build. Whether it is the building house of a project, changing a process project, or anything kind of project in between, where we can say that the work has begun.
Probably the most important techniques that a project manager must master is the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) or Arrow Diagram Method (ADM) as known by the Project Management Institute. This method is one of the most common scheduling models in project management (Meredith & Mantel, 2009, p 21). A method that analyzes the probabilities of a project finalizing on time. The PERT identifies the worst, best and most likely case scenarios and aids the project manager in developing a simple project schedule while considering risks and deciding which risks to take. Since every project deals with uncertainty at some level and in some form, the PERT is in my opinion the number one technique that every project manager must be well educated on.
Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM) decision support systems are widely used for projects management. Traditional PERT relies on engine called stochastic analysis that focuses on managing schedules for stochastic project environment. Therefore, the estimated schedule is highly stochastic. A good approximation in beta distribution is obtained only when cv ≤ 0.66. But it is found that 80% of the projects violate the approximation limit that is provided by the beta distribution calculation of PERT. Beta distribution generally reliance on subjective estimates, underestimates stochastic variations. PERT engine with simulation is combined with risk registers to discover disruptive events. Modern project management DSS do not include PERT or CPM in estimating schedule. But PERT still has room for improvement in scheduling. Thus, the improved version of PERT, neglecting all the limitation stated above is proposed in the paper (PERT 21). PERT 21 uses stochastic engine to achieve valid stochastic schedules. PERT 21 do not require excessive user inputs and provides valid risk analysis.
