Ecological Assessment Assignment (Paper)

Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to complete an ecological assessment of an individual that demonstrates your understanding of human development theories as well as stage-based developmental tasks observed in human behavior across the life span. Through this assessment, you must demonstrate knowledge of relevant theories presented in this course. In this case, knowledge is demonstrated through a brief description of the theory as well as through your ability to integrate the theory with the examples you provide. Thus, it is not sufficient to just provide a description or definition of a theory or a description of an example of human behavior and development.
Instructor will be posting Grading Rubrics on Canvas for you to use while writing your paper.

Specifics
For this assignment, you can choose one of two options that are described below. The paper length should be 7 pages (excluding references, title page, and abstract), typed, double-spaced with 1-inch margins and 12-point font. Please stay within the page limits—no exceptions. (Instructor will stop reading on page 7.) It should be clear, well organized, with no spelling or grammar errors.
No Clients (past or present) may be used for this assignment.
Note: Double-sided and/or poor ink papers will not be accepted or graded.
*The paper must also include a minimum of five empirically based references, not including the text, i.e., no review papers, book reviews, etc. to support your narrative.
References listed in the course bibliography of this syllabus do not count as references for this paper. APA format is required for references, a running head, abstract, etc.
Reminder: A title page, abstract, reference page, etc. does not count against your page limit of 7 pages.

Bio-Psycho-Social Time Line
The purpose of this option is to “bring home” the developmental theories and concepts learned in class by applying and relating them to a personal experience. Students will create a “bio- psycho-social” timeline that depicts significant experiences and notable milestones throughout your life or the life of a family member, partner, or significant other. I suggest focusing on two developmental periods of growth (two stages in accordance with Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory) for this paper rather than attempting to discuss all periods of development in your life or the life of the individual you are describing (of course, this could depend on the age of the individual you are writing about).
Also, please consider COVID-19 / post-Pandemic issues, concerns influencing development.
(1-3 above). Be sure to include the following in your report: first three parts of the assignment

The timeline should include a discussion of key developmental milestones and concepts as well as reflection of how the “events” from your timeline are explained theoretically. You will need to draw upon at least two different theories/concepts for understanding human development (i.e., Psychoanalytic Theory, Cognitive Development Theory, Social Learning Theories, Psychosocial Theory, Cultural Theory, Evolution Theory, Social Role Theory, Systems Theory, Attachment theory, etc.) to explain the developmental growth you describe in your paper.
Be sure to provide a brief description of each theory and integrate/synthesize theory with the examples you describe. Student should also address the impact of culture, race/ethnicity, gender, social economic status, sexual orientation, historical events, social movements, social or economic injustices, etc. on this individual’s development.

Weather Hazards

Provide your own insight and contribute to the conversation below.

Weather Hazards

Recently, several major airlines have experienced significant flight delays due to a weather phenomenon known as a “thunderstorm”. These thunderstorms have caused massive amounts of disruption to travelers, as well as the airlines themselves. Earlier this week, American Airlines cancelled more than three fifty flights due to thunderstorms across the southeastern United States. Delta Airlines also experienced significant delays, with more than five hundred flight delays in total. The cancellations and delays have been attributed to the intense thunderstorm that has been plaguing the region.

The impact of a thunderstorm on aviation is a serious issue that cannot be ignored. A thunderstorm can cause turbulence and wind shear, resulting in higher fuel consumption and increased risk of structural damage to aircraft (Olaganathan, 2020). Additionally, a thunderstorm can cause visibility to drop significantly, resulting in landing and take-off delays. These delays can be a huge inconvenience for both travelers and airlines alike. For travelers, a delay can mean missed connections and wasted time. For airlines, it can mean a significant loss in revenue due to the extra fuel and crew costs associated with the delays.

It is crucial to understand the weather patterns in the area and take preventable measures to minimize the impact of a thunderstorm on aviation. Airlines should use weather forecasting tools to anticipate potential thunderstorms and take steps to avoid them. Airlines should also be prepared to take extra precautions if a thunderstorm is encountered. These precautions could include slowing the aircraft to avoid turbulence or increasing the altitude to reduce the risk of structural damage. The impact of thunderstorms on aviation cannot be ignored. By understanding the weather patterns in the area and taking preventable measures, airlines can limit the disruption to travelers and the financial losses associated with thunderstorms.

CS System Analysis & Design

Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

  • Create various system models through the application of appropriate tools.
  • Present and articulate technical concepts to nontechnical audiences.

Scenario

You work for a small consulting company that designs systems for various clients. You are continuing to work on a system for DriverPass. Previously, you completed a business requirements document for your project lead that articulated DriverPass’s needs. You also made a suggestion regarding which approach—object or process—your company should take. Based on your excellent work thus far, your project lead would like you to continue designing the system for DriverPass. Your project lead ultimately decided on a blended approach that incorporates the best of object and process modeling. She has asked you to complete a system design document, which will include several UML diagrams and a description of the technical requirements for the DriverPass system. This design document will eventually be shared with the developers on your team who will implement your design.

Finally, your project lead has asked you to create a short presentation for the client based on your design. You will be asked to communicate different components of the system and how they meet DriverPass’s needs. Since this information will be presented to the client, you will need to avoid the use of technical jargon.

Review the assignment directions below and follow the steps needed to complete these deliverables for your project lead.

Note: You will not be creating all of the UML diagrams for the entire system, nor presenting the entire design to the client. In the industry, you would have help from coworkers and a longer time frame to complete all of the documentation. For the purposes of this project, things have been simplified.

Directions

System Design Document
You will complete a system design document based on the requirements you collected in Project One. In this document, you will complete your system design by creating proper UML diagrams and describing the system’s technical requirements.

  1. Review the business requirements document that you completed for Project One. This will remind you of your client’s needs and your plan for the design.
    Tip: It would also help to review any feedback your instructor provided on Project One.
  1. In Module Six, you created a UML use case diagram for the DriverPass system. If you would like to make any adjustments to your diagram, please do so. Check to make sure that you included appropriate components and symbols and that your design meets the client’s requirements.
  1. In addition to the use case diagram, you will use the CASE tool Lucidchart to create UML activity, sequence, and class diagrams. Each diagram must include the appropriate components and symbols and meet the client’s requirements.
    • Based on the use case diagram you created:
      1. Choose two use cases and create two UML activity diagrams, one for each use case.
      2. For one of the use cases you chose, create a UML sequence diagram.
    • Finally, you must use Lucidchart to create a UML class diagram for your system. Your class diagram should include the different classes and attributes needed for your system design. You are not required to include methods, but you may if you wish.
  1. Include a copy of each UML diagram in your system design document. Use the template linked in the What to Submit section.
  1. Review the different functional and nonfunctional requirements you included in your business requirements document for Project One. Based on these, describe the technical requirements of your proposed system. The technical requirements should address the required hardware, software, tools, and infrastructure necessary for your system design.

Client Presentation
You will create a short PowerPoint presentation to your client, which includes a description of your system. Your team lead wants to see your ability to present your ideas and designs back to clients. She would like you to include speaker notes for each slide that include your explanation of the slide and how it meets the client’s needs. Since you are presenting to a client, your explanation should be simplified and targeted at a nontechnical audience.

  1. Open the client presentation template, linked in the What to Submit section. Each slide includes a heading as well as a prompt for what to include on the slide. You will present information from both your business requirements document and system design document. You must complete the following slides:
    • Title
    • System Requirements
    • Use Case Diagram
    • Activity Diagram
    • Security
    • System Limitations

    NOTE: You may include additional slides if you would like to explain other aspects of your design.

  1. Write out your explanation in the speaker notes for each slide. Use the PowerPoint Speaker Notes Tutorial, located in the Supporting Materials section, to help you with this task. Remember that these speaker notes represent what would be the spoken part of your presentation. Since you are explaining your designs to the client, you must do the following:
    • Explain how each component of your design meets the client’s needs.
    • Use nontechnical language to communicate your ideas.
    • Clearly articulate your designs with polished grammar and sufficient detail.
