of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS):
1.
Is a high level view of the project deliverables and is related to work packages.
2.
Broadly defines the scope of the project, Uses nouns to describe each box.
3.
Is not a hierarchical structure. In other words each box is not a subordinate to the previous box.
Under Funding, for example, we identify different sources of funding but each source is not
related to the other funding sources.
Deliverables
(how the project progress will be measured)
During the life of this project, the team will:
1.
Define Requirements
2.
Prepare a draft report on (use of Measure/T2)
3.
Complete Phase-I B-(as described in RFP).
4.
Conduct CLIENT platform training and admin set up.
5.
Submit Phase-I Report complete with Phase–II proposal to the Guidance Team.
Action Plan
(how the work will
be completed)
In order to ensure the project is completed on time, the team will adhere to the attached
Action Plan dated DATE.

3.
Content will be delivered in Yardstick’s Excel template for import
Constraints
1.
Client is unavailable during the month of July
2.
Fixed launch date
3.
Government regulations and legislations
4.
Anything else that is already exists and is a roadblock that cannot be adjusted
Potential Risks
1.
SMEs do not complete their allotted question assignments by DATE.
2.
Mitigation Strategies
1.
The project manager is responsible for smooth delivery of (site) and therefore must work very closely with the CLIENT’s project department to ensure the NAME project is completed on time.
2.
The PM must provide bi-weekly progress reports to the Guidance Team.
3.
Late completion is not an option.
Parameters and Principles (budget, schedule, and how we plan to work together)
Parameters
(Budget, start and end dates, major
milestones, critical decision points/gates
etc.)
1.
Project shall not exceed the budget: Phase-I = $xx,xxxx
2.
Phase-I of the project will commence on DATE and shall be completed by DATE.
3.
Management of the day-to-day activities of the project shall be based on
Yardstick’s standard project management methodology.
Principles
(how the project team
plans to work together)
1.
The project team will develop a set of ground rules, make decisions through
consensus, and make decisions based on facts and not opinion.
2.
If the team fails to reach consensus, the issues will be escalated to the Guidance
Team.
3.
Stakeholders will be given an opportunity to provide input before decisions are
finalized.
4.
Team members will be responsible to ensure their departments are kept informed of the team’s progress by maintaining ongoing communications with the manager of the respective work unit.

I need help with parts b and c (see images). This is the complete question and not a writing assignment. Make sure for this problem you list the following:
a. Known: State briefly what is known about the problem.
b. Schematic: Draw a schematic of the physical system or control volume.
c. Assumptions: List all necessary assumptions used to complete the problem.
d. Properties: Identify the source of property values not given to you in the problem.
e. Find: State what must be found.
f. Analysis: Start your analysis with any necessary equations. Develop your analysis as completely as possible before inserting values and performing the calculations. Draw a box around your answers and include units and follow an appropriate number of significant figures.

You are assigned as the head of the engineering team to work on selecting the right-sized blower that will go on your new line of hybrid vehicles.The fan circulates the warm air on the inside of the windshield to stop condensation of water vapor and allow for maximum visibility during wintertime (see images). You have been provided with some info. and are asked to pick from the bottom table, the right model number(s) that will satisfy the requirement. Your car is equipped with a fan blower setting that allow you to choose between speeds 0, 1,2 and 3. Variation of the convection heat transfer coefficient is dependent upon multiple factors, including the size and the blower configuration.You can only use the following parameters:

Task 1
You are employed as a mechanical engineer within an unnamed research center, specializing in the
development of innovative air conditioning systems. Your division is tasked with providing computer-based
modeling and design solutions using computational fluid dynamics through ANSYS software. Your primary
responsibilities involve the analysis of horizontal channel dynamics to meet specific criteria. Under the
guidance of your immediate supervisor, you have been assigned unique responsibilities within an ongoing
project. As a member of the research team, your role includes constructing an appropriate model and
executing a sequence of simulation iterations to explore and enhance channel performance. Figure 1
provides a visualization of the horizontal channel under consideration. Consider 2D, incompressible, steady
flow in a horizontal channel at a Reynolds number of 150. The schematic below illustrates the channel flow,
not drawn to scale. For simplicity, neglect gravity. The…

Dear Project Manager-
I am starting to worry about the heating and cooling system for the office area. The way we do business is rapidly changing and more and more computer equipment is needed. What can we do to ensure that the cooling system will be able to handle more equipment that gives off heat in the space?

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of…
