Write a report that summarizes Pausch’s message, an assessment of his leadership style, and examples of how you might be able to put his lessons into practice in your own life.

For this assignment you will need to:
Write a 3-4 page paper in APA format with a minimum of 3 references.
Address the following Areas:
Project Objectives
The objectives are something you hope to achieve from doing the project
Strategies
Strategies are the method you will use to reach the objectives you have set for your project
Background Analysis
This may also be called a situation analysis. This section you will need to discuss what is happening that made you decided to do your capstone project.
For example, the nurses at a facility are making a many medication errors. For your capstone project you decide you will try to reduce the number of medication errors from 10 every week to three a week. You will have to analyze why the errors are taking place. Maybe the lighting in the medication room is poor or maybe the nurses are working 70 hours every week.
You will also need to locate peer review articles that support you analysis.
Please use this template:
Capstone Objectives, Strategies, and Background Template

Overview:
Hostage negotiations are a very dynamic and intricate part of law enforcement. The training that officers receive in law enforcement can make the difference between a successful negotiation or a failed one. Part of the training that officers often receive is reviewing past negotiations. They learn not to make the same mistakes again and learn from positive things during the negotiation.
Instructions:
Find a past hostage negotiation incident with the police or corrections.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover that includes the following:
• Discuss the negotiation incident, specifically what occurred, who was involved,
mistakes made, actions taken, and the lessons learned.
Requirements:
• Upload the video to YouTube. Submit the YouTube URL to the comments area in the assignment.
• Maximum 10 slides in length, excluding the Title and Reference slides.
• At least two resources.
Be sure to read the criteria below by which your work will be evaluated before you write and again after you write.

Additive Manufacturing Assessment
Read the following and then return to Blackboard to complete the assignment.
You are working for a company that does applied engineering related to manufacturing. Your boss has seen a recent request for proposal (RFP), and wants you to respond with a Phase 1 submission since you are an expert in manufacturing and materials. The RFP states:
Objective: Optimize a part and develop an optimization process/program. This project will investigate materials and manufacturing methods to reduce the cost yet maintain the relevant performance requirements for an existing part. The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) armor support ring will serve as a proof of concept.
Description: The armor support ring for the AMPV is machined from a billet of titanium.
Material losses alone make this a highly inefficient: titanium for defense OEM use is about $20/pound. At a diameter of 45 inches, there is far more material lost to the machine shop floor than there is in the final part. Further, machining titanium is not cheap due to how comparatively expensive the tools are, the shorter tool life, and the fact that titanium work hardens; this amounts to about 4x the cost to machine steel. There have been significant advances in manufacturing processes and materials development, as well as innovative applications which combine the two. As an example of the type of changes that could be made consider the report: “Metals Materials Engineering in Tank-Automotive Equipment” which considered weight focused replacements for the M60.
This project will investigate the most efficient combination of material substitution and/or innovative uses of modern manufacturing processes.
Investigate the feasibility and cost effectiveness of various manufacturing processes and materials options to the current design with the DLA target of 10 to 1 cost reduction as an objective.

Overview
For this project, you will be considered an employee for a company that does applied engineering related to manufacturing. You are considered an expert in manufacturing and materials. You will be responsible for creating Phase I that includes a technical volume. Refer to the Course Schedule for the due date. Follow the directions below carefully.
Format
Use 1” margins with Times New Roman, 11- or 12-point font.
Use single or double line spacing. (It will be graded by word-count not by pages.)
Directions
Download the file.
Respond to the RFP. Consider the following:
The Phase I effort should attempt to determine the technical feasibility of the proposed concept. The methods planned to achieve each objective or task should be discussed explicitly and in detail.
The Technical Volume should cover the following items in the order given below and include:
Create an abstract/executive summary
Write 5-6 paragraphs that answer the statement of work above (please use between 1500-2500 words).
At least one reference. Journal articles, textbooks, government publications, and professional society standards are preferred
You do NOT need to calculate the cost or cost savings ratio of the manufacturing processes. If you understand and express that your method will save cost, labor, materials, etc., that is sufficient for this project.
You may change the material of the ring, as long as you can justify the change. If you change the material, please mention that testing of the new material may need to be performed.
The dimensions of the ring are as follows: 42″ OD, 40″ ID, 2″ H. Any other dimensions referenced in the file above refer to the billet used to machine the ring.

Following target behaviors are NOT allowed. Failure to adhere to this instruction will result in zero credit for part A of this assignment:
Any character from “The Office” looking/staring/talking to camera, singing, any drink consumption, smoking, saber use from any “Star Wars” movies, any filler pauses (um, uh), phone use, saying any type of catch phrase/name, or eating.
Also, if the behavior does not occur for at least for at least 50% of time/intervals, or with frequency above 15, across all sessions or on average it should not be included in this assignment. Points will be deducted f you do not have data set as per the above listed parameters. The goal is to ensure that was enough chance to collect data on the behavior and to get a good enough chance for IOA.

It is so difficult to eat a diet full of fresh produce. Whole Foods and Ralph’s are two of the most expensive stores in the world. Northgate has very little organic food. Food4Less . . . well, let’s not even go there (literally). Even the stores with prices in between charge so much for whole fresh food. You can get 20 packs of Top Ramen for the price of one bunch of kale.
Trying to eat right is a pain. But, eat right we must.
How do you navigate the headache of not enough money to even afford the things you like, forget the things you know you should eat?
In your first five-to-seven paragraph narrative essay, describe your relationship with food. What about your attempt to eat a wholesome diet, incorporating whole foods (fruits and vegetables), healthy meats, and good, nutritious snacks (yeah, right)? How is that working for you?
First, you may want to explain your definition of health and well being or a wholesome diet and how you maintain, sustain, or completely fail at either or both of them. You may also discuss the challenges of life’s pace and your attempt to stay functional. Or, take a look at the bigger picture. What is going on between human being and alleged food? What of our dependency on corporate food? How is the world (and or you) responding to the current food crises in the city?
Remember to incorporate into your assessment information from at least two of the articles and essays you have read, the documentaries you have screened, and any reading you have done to date.
How are these messages in line with yours or totally different? Do you think anyone in any of these films or essays has a strong point? Is there something you saw or read you would like to incorporate into your routine?
This is a narrative and it is written from your point of view. However, synthesis is always key to a strong essay. Take the information from the films and readings and bring it together with your personal beliefs and practices in some rational, reasoned way.

Discussion: Federalism good idea/bad idea

Do you think the political system of federalism was a good or bad idea for the United States? Tell me why you feel this way. Write your thoughts here. You should write about 1 paragraph (75 words). You should also write replies to other people’s posts on the discussion board. Please be respectful of other people’s opinions. This is meant to be an interactive and lively discussion between students.
