Objectives
\nThe objective of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of at least one of the themes covered in EE5005.<\/p>\n
Task
\nChoose ONE of the following four subjects and follow the instructions given:
\n\u2022 Write a short business plan for a new business (real or imaginary) that you want to start and for which you need funding. Using this as an example, describe how a business plan should be structured, what content should be included, why that structure and content are important and what core skills are required to write and implement plans successfully
\n\u2022 Outline the main strategic and operational challenges that businesses face, in particular relating to engineering and technical projects, and describe tools and working practices used by them to respond to these challenges. How effective are these tools and working practices?
\nThere are several strategic and operational challenges that businesses face when it comes to engineering and technical projects. Some of the main challenges include:<\/p>\n
Managing complexity: Engineering and technical projects often involve complex systems and processes, which can be challenging to manage and coordinate.<\/p>\n
Ensuring quality: Ensuring that projects are completed to a high standard and meet all necessary quality standards is crucial for businesses.<\/p>\n
Managing costs: Controlling costs and staying within budget is important for businesses, particularly when it comes to large engineering and technical projects.<\/p>\n
Meeting deadlines: Time is often a critical factor in engineering and technical projects, and it’s important for businesses to be able to meet project deadlines in order to keep their operations running smoothly.<\/p>\n
To respond to these challenges, businesses use a range of tools and working practices. Some of the most common include:<\/p>\n
Project management software: This type of software helps businesses plan, schedule, and track progress on engineering and technical projects.<\/p>\n
Collaboration tools: Collaboration tools, such as online whiteboards and project management platforms, allow team members to work together and share information in real-time, regardless of location.<\/p>\n
Quality management systems: Quality management systems help businesses ensure that their products and processes meet all necessary quality standards.<\/p>\n
Lean principles: Lean principles, such as the Lean Six Sigma methodology, focus on maximizing efficiency and reducing waste in order to improve overall performance.
\n\u2022 Prepare a report for the CEO of a large (real or imaginary) engineering company, explaining and recommending policies and actions to ensure the company becomes a leading example of how to operate in a sustainable, environmentally friendly, well
\ngoverned and socially responsible way.
\n\u2022 \u201cContinuing professional development in technical, managerial and social skills, is essential for career success and personal satisfaction\u201d. Write a persuasive briefing for students in higher education, encouraging them to take this statement seriously.<\/p>\n
Describe relevant concepts, principles and theories, as discussed in class and as described in the literature. Show how these concepts, principles and theories are applied in practice, as far as you can by using real-life examples.<\/p>\n
Include in your essay brief discussions of how each of the three other subjects in the above list is
\nrelevant to your chosen subject.<\/p>\n
Ensure your essay is clearly written and well structured, with logical arguments that are well
\nsupported by evidence from the literature.<\/p>\n
Format<\/p>\n
Write and submit your essay in Microsoft Word (not PDF). Aim for a length (excluding title page,
\nlist of references and any appendices) of between 4,500 and 5,000 words. The maximum length
\nis 5,000 words; remember, anything you write beyond 5,000 words will not be marked.<\/p>\n
Begin your essay with a title page showing the essay title (which should show which one of the
\nfour subjects you have chosen), the date on which you are submitting the assignment, the
\nmodule (EE5005) and your Candidate Number. Number the pages, at the bottom of each
\npage.<\/p>\n
Make sure that the essay is all your own work. Remember, the penalties for plagiarism are
\nsevere. Whenever you include material or ideas taken from somewhere else, include a
\nreference to the source, in the form Smith (2016) or (Smith, 2016). At the end, include a list of
\nreferences e.g., \u201cSmith, T. J., 2016: Principles of disruption, Harvard Business School Press, ISBN
\n958 345 678\u201d.<\/p>\n
Assessment
\nMarking is anonymous: this means that the markers will mark each essay without knowing who
\nwrote it. The essay MUST show your Candidate Number on the title page and must NOT show
\nyour name or Student ID number anywhere in the document or in its filename.<\/p>\n
Once the marking process is complete, you will receive your mark and written feedback on
\nyour essay, via Moodle.<\/p>\n
In addition to the generic coursework assessment criteria, the assessment of your essay will use
\nthe following criteria which are specific to this assignment:
\n\u2022 Understanding of the concepts, principles and theories in the chosen subject, as
\ndiscussed in class and as described in the literature
\n\u2022 Awareness of how these concepts, principles and theories are applied in practice
\n\u2022 Ability to show the relevance of the other three subjects in the list above to the subject
\nchosen.<\/p>\n
