Topic 1 Lesson 5 introduced you to the concepts of Ethics and Sustainability and the impact they should have on all we do as professional engineers. You should have read through the case studies presented to you in that lesson.

For this assignment you are to deliver a presentation on the role of ethics and/or sustainability in engineering. You may choose to talk about either ethics or Sustainability or both. In developing your presentation, you should consider one of the following:

1. You may have been involved in an engineering project where ethics and/or sustainability were taken into consideration in an effective manner during that project. In your presentation, discuss the approach taken and the impact this had both on the organisation delivering the project and on the wider community.
2. You may have been involved in an engineering project where ethics and/or sustainability were not taken into consideration in an effective manner during the project. In your presentation, discuss the potential impact that consideration of ethics and/or sustainability would have had on the conduct of the project and on its deliverables.
3. If you have not been employed by an engineering company or involved in an engineering project, your presentation should discuss the impact of ethics and/or sustainability on either one of the projects discussed in the case studies or on another major project where lessons could be learned from the approach taken on these issues.

Your presentation should be between 9 and 11 minutes long. It should be a formal presentation making use of Microsoft Powerpoint or some other similar presentation package. You can either:

Analyze the local, state, or federal policy you chose to address your social justice issue

In this assignment, you will analyze the local, state, or federal policy you chose to address your social justice issue, including providing background on the development of the policy and evaluating its effectiveness and feasibility.

Remember that the feasibility of a policy relates not only to its economic feasibility but also to its political and social impact. You will also identify the policy constraints that inhibit the policy from most effectively reaching your targeted population.

Continue to consult the United States Congress website, the Government Accountability Office, public policy analysis research and reports, and other peer-reviewed research to support your analysis. Also, use the NASW Code of Ethics web page.

Analyze the development of your chosen policy.

• Analyze the historical background that led to the development of the policy.

• Define the goals of the policy and how these goals are intended to be met, including services and programs intended to achieve the goals.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of the policy with respect to the target population.

• Consider how well the policy has met the needs of your target population and to what extent it improves the social justice problem you initially researched. Does the policy seem to ignore, impede, or strengthen the social functioning of the target population?

• To what extent does the policy meet or improve the social values of the target population?

• To what extent does the policy adhere to best practice ethics and best practice standards?

• If the outcome of your analysis is that best practice ethics and standards are not being adhered to, include that information in your analysis as well.

• Evaluate the feasibility of the policy.

• Is the policy politically, economically, and administratively feasible? Provide details and rationale.

• Identify the policy constraints that inhibit the policy from fully addressing the problem for the chosen population.

• Have other constraints arisen since the passage of the policy that have made conditions worse or better for the chosen population?

Guidelines

• Support your claims and recommendation with clear rationale and support from scholarly, peer-reviewed literature.

Additional Requirements

The assignment you submit is expected to meet the following requirements:

• Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message

• APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.

• Cited resources: A minimum of six scholarly sources. Most literature cited should be current, with publication dates within the past five years.

• Length of paper: 5 typed, double-spaced pages.

Biblical text and contemporary project
management strategies

For Part 1, write a one- to two-page summary (no more than two pages, please) of your critical analysis and exploration of the connections between the supportive Christian community depicted in the book of Acts and the collaborative dynamics of Agile project management. Draw upon personal experiences while recognizing themes of community, collaboration, and adaptability in both contexts.

Your ideas should be supported by biblical principles (and Scripture) as well as articles you find from industry sources on the internet.

Your paper should explore the following themes:

Supportive Community:

Discuss how Paul’s reliance on the early Christian community parallels the roles and collaborative efforts within an Agile team. Reflect on specific examples from Acts 9:23–31 that highlight these dynamics.

How do the roles in Agile (such as the Scrum Master and Product Owner) echo the mentoring and supportive relationships found in the book of Acts? Include specific examples of how these roles help achieve project goals.

Adaptability:

Analyze how Paul’s need to adapt his mission to different challenges and contexts reflects the Agile principle of adaptability. Provide instances from Acts 9:23–31 where adaptation plays a crucial role in Paul’s journey.

In what ways do Agile methodologies emphasize the importance of adaptability in project management? Share how this principle might mirror the experiences of individuals or teams facing challenges within faith-based or community settings.

Trust and Shared Responsibility:

Examine the collaborative atmosphere of the early church as a means of fostering trust and shared responsibility. What actions or behaviors from Acts 9:23–31 exemplify this sense of community?

Compare this to how Agile teams cultivate a similar environment. Discuss specific Agile practices that build trust and encourage shared responsibility among team members.

Personal Reflection:

Identify a personal experience in which you have participated in a supportive community (faith-based or otherwise) or within an Agile project team. Describe how the principles of community, collaboration, and adaptability were present in that experience.

Reflect on how these principles helped you or your team overcome challenges and achieve success. What insights can you draw from this experience in relation to the themes discussed in Acts and Agile methodologies?

Reflection Questions to Consider:

How do the concepts of faith and teamwork intertwine in your experiences?

In what ways can lessons from community dynamics in the book of Acts apply to modern-day teamwork strategies?

The purpose of this project is to help students apply microbiology concepts to real-world nursing practice, focusing on pathogens, transmission, infection prevention, and patient safety.

Students will demonstrate understanding of how microorganisms cause disease and how nurses play a critical role in infection control, prevention, and patient education.

Overview

As you progress through this course, you will be developing a Research Plan Overview in outline format.  The Research Plan Overview will be submitted in three stages throughout the course, with each stage revising and building upon the previous stage.  The requirements for each stage of submission are described below, and the Research Plan Overview Template and Research Plan Overview Grading Rubrics for this assignment are available through Assignment Instructions.

Instructions

In addition to using the Research Plan Overview Template, you must include both a title and reference page (done in current APA format). Additionally, you must keep the headings (all text provided in black font) the same but replace the red text with your topic’s information typed in black font.  All headings and subheadings must be included in your outline.  Supply all of the pertinent information that the outline requests and include the uncompleted portions of the template (Methods, Appendices, etc.) in the document you submit—just leave the uncompleted portion in “red” text/font.

 

• Please utilize current APA Professional standards

 

NOTE: The Research Plan Overview Template (loosely) follows the Liberty’s Department of Community Care and Counseling’s Qualitative Dissertation Template (format); however, be aware that the format can change once you, the doctoral student, become a candidate (by finishing all coursework and successfully passing the comprehensive exam) and begin working with your dissertation committee.

 

Stage 1

For Stage 1, you must supply the information required for the Introduction (Section I) and the Review of Related Literature (Section II).  You will continue to build the Review of Related Literature section throughout each stage of development, so be sure to supply what the red text requires.

 

Stage 2

Review Stage 1 of your research plan and make revisions or edits as necessary.  Then, supply the information required for the Methods (Section III) subheadings A, B, C, D, and E along with Appendices A and B as applicable to your design ONLY.

 

NOTE:  Subheadings F, G and H of the Methods (Section III) AND Appendices C and D are to be completed in Stage 3—NOT in Stage 2. Also, continue to build the Review of Related Literature (Section II).

 

Stage 3

This stage contributes the final section of the Research Plan Overview, giving you a complete outline.   Review Stage 2 of your research plan and make revisions or edits as necessary.  Supply the information required for the Methods section (III), subheadings F, G, and H.  Also, supply the requested information for Appendices C and D.  Finally, polish the Review of Related Literature section (II), adding any final elements you think are necessary.
