Improving Navigation Through College

Team #1

    Team members: Mohammed S. Akhtar, Tanman Dey, Ailin Guo, and Kanstantsin Yanchanka.

           We are proposing to create detailed hard copy maps for each floor in every building at New York City College of Technology. The purpose of these maps is to improve navigation through the college, which, according to our research, currently does not work properly.

Project files:

           All files are downloadable docx documents except power point files, which can be directly viewed.

           Project Deliverables are the maps for each floor of the Midway building. The first floor was skipped because there were no classrooms or offices on this floor. The first draft was made only for the second floor because we did a usability test only for the second floor.Then, based on the results from the usability test, we applied changes to the second floor map, and in the same image we created the rest of the maps.

Maps:

2nd Floor First Draft

2nd Floor Final Version

3rd Floor Final Version

4th Floor Final Version

5th Floor Final Version

Note: The images have jpg format; however, the original files were made in AutoCAD, and they have dwg format that can be adjusted to any resolution and any size of the paper, but since not everyone has AutoCAD installed on their computers, it was decided to post the images in jpg format.

The portfolio is designed in such a way as to, at first, show my knowledge of the company’s background and then convince the employer that I am the best candidate for this position based on my education and job experience. The reasons why I have chosen this position are the company’s desire to innovate and its ability to adapt to ever-changing world. Therefore, by getting a job as a substation engineer, I will have the opportunity to work in a team with specialists in my field which will give me a chance to be an innovator of the future.
