We would like to request permission from the college and it’s representatives to conduct a team research consisting of several actions that will be taken in implementing or installing a new waiting line system into the financial aid department. Our actions will consist of conducting different activities such as student surveys, online and library researching, interviewing and meeting with the right representatives to find any past reflections and approaches taken on a financial aid waiting line problem. Our actions will also consist of determining steps to be taken in equipping, testing and installing our recommended solution system

Introduction
This post is an overview of our task of proposing an improved navigational system for City Tech, and the steps we have taken to do so. This includes all of the documents, visual aids, and deliverables that were used. All documents referenced here can be downloaded from a direct link at the end of this post.
Pitch
The purpose of the Pitch was to bring awareness to the need of a form of technical communications that could be beneficial to City Tech and its members. There were several possible needs to address, and we have felt that using a distributable map as a better navigational system has the greatest ratio of benefits/effectiveness to cost. In this Pitch, we prepare a presentation to give a basic overview of the necessity of a map.

Proposal
Following our Pitch, we needed to gather more details in order to propose the precise requirements of implementing a map for a navigational system. This included reviewing the overall benefits of using a map, gauging the need for a map by its intended users (the students and visitors of City Tech), and the projected costs of implementing it. This proposal includes a formal report that addresses all of this, plus a survey that we have used to gather necessary data.
City Tech Survey #1 (Demand)
*Note: The attached survey is only a placeholder and contains no data used for the proposal. The survey was provided to students in-person. All relevant data is contained in the Proposal Report and the Deliverable Presentation*
Proposal Report
Deliverable
With the proposal set, it was time to create the deliverable map to be used for technical communications. A prototype map of a sample floor was created, tested using feedback from another survey, and then re-purposed into a final form.

City Tech Survey #2 (Testing)
*Note: The attached survey is only a placeholder and contains no data used for the proposal. The survey was provided to students in-person. All relevant data is contained in the Deliverable Presentation.*
Presentation
With all components of the deliverable completed, the Presentation and Script is a review of all of the work done so far, confirming all of the work done throughout this project. This also presents validation for the City Tech administration, should they consider officially implementing the deliverable. Progress reports and meeting minute logs are also provided in this post, showing all of the steps that have been done to complete this project.

Introduction
Our project focuses on creating new navigational guides for Voorhees Building that will help visitors find water fountains within the building. This is also supplemented with an informational sticker created to be put on water fountains that will instruct both students and faculty of whom to contact in case there is a problem with the water fountain. The following are the parts of the project which together make it whole.

We are proposing to use our Facebook group page—Book Steal—that we created to give CityTech’s students a better alternative to buy and sell their used textbooks and class materials. This solution will give students the advantage to recycle their books, eliminate shipping fees, cut down delivery time, and provide secure online textbooks shopping experience.

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.
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.

Chapter7 added on to what chapter 6 talked about with gathering research.
Chapter 7 talked about research methods and how to gather information the reader might want and need,as well as presenting to them they are confident your info is highly reliable. As with the previous one chapter 7 is a great source on how to gather and use your research for your essay, paper, or presentation.
This is my job application portfolio. My career objective is the become a production manager. I’m good at it. My brothers worked in the print industry and tought me things that, at the time, I didn’t care about. My curiosity grew as I got older and I found out that this was what I wanted to do with my life. People do light up when they can touch what they only imagined. Things that represent them, their talents, their business.
Chapter 6 of this book covered Conducting reader centered research , in other words putting together
good research material. The chapter talked about how to get info you and the reader might need, checking that info for how useful it is, how to show the reader that info is a good, and how to show the reader to benefit. I feel this will be good for essays especially presentions using this method you can gather good info for everyone at your presentation can see the value of you are saying.
