The Meat Lady Dilemma

 Mrs Parker owns and operates a meat shop that processes and packages parcels of minced meat that is being sold to schools in the US. Her scales are all calibrated to perform measurement in pounds, however when the parcels are packaged, they need to be labelled in ounces. Mrs Parker has established that 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces. In each production cycle, 250 packs of meat are processed and the weight in pounds varies for each package. Mrs Parker is also interested in knowing the total costs, the total revenue and the total profit of each production run, given that the costs to produce and package an ounce of meat is US $0.25 and that the selling price of an ounce of meat is US $0.55. Because you are a budding Software Engineer, she has sought your assistance in creating a software solution that can be used within the business establishment. 

Required: A. Specifically identify the type of control structure which is needed to process the meat in each production run and provide a reason for your choice (4 marks) 

B. Your solution needs to represent the meat packages which are to be processed, how would you represent this appropriately in your program and what has guided your choice?  (4 marks) 

C. Construct a C# program that will solve Mrs Parker’s dilemma by making use of the choices made above. 

i. Implementation of the control structure to process the meat (2 marks) 

ii. Implementation of the meat packages to be processed (2 marks) 

iii. Calculation of costs, revenues, and profits (6 marks) 

iv. Appropriate program outputs displayed to the user 

PC BUILD AND MANUAL PART 1

  

1. The PC Build assignment has specific requirements such as using IEEE citations. For most, this will be the first and possibly only time you are required to utilize IEEE standards/formatting. I do not agree with using IEEE due to the remainder of your curriculum at almost any level at any institution utilizing APA formatting. However, no matter what I think, UMUC sets the rules and we must adhere to them, no questions asked. Some other requirements include:

o The PC Build assignment has minimum standards as part of the grading rubric that must be followed as well. You must include your name in the file name you submit in LEO.

o You must include a proper title page.

o Citations must be shown for pictures, paragraphs, and as part of your reference section at the end of the build.

o You must meet the criteria listed for each item in the build.

o You must break the assignment up and submit it as three separate assignments, and not one large one.

o You must include brand and model recommendations for each component so that you can demonstrate a mastery of the material.

o You may resubmit each PC Build draft once, and each must be submitted within 7 days of your original submission. For example, if you submit PC Build Draft 1 on 10/15, you may make changes based on my feedback and resubmit no later than 10/22; after that only your original grade will count.

o NOTE: NO late work is accepted, so you cannot submit or resubmit after the course ends, no exceptions.

2. Failure to follow the instructions above will result in assignments being returned ungraded, or failing grades.

PC Build and Manual (Parts 1-3)

  

Overview

–

You will provide a comprehensive and detailed manual documenting the step-by-step process for building a computer using the components provided in LabSim 14.1 and for the Video Card only, use information in LabSim 3.12: “Build a Computer from Scratch.” The manual will be used by entry-level technicians, so it should be clear, concise, and formatted using IEEE citation style, with screenshots of each step from LabSim 14.1 and for Video Cards only, use LabSim 3.12. Your manual should be similar to step-by-step instructions on How to Change the Oil in Your Car. Note carefully how in this example, not only is each step described individually, and in detail, but also there is a visual representation of each step. You should model your submission along the same lines. Keep in mind that your manual will be used as a guide for new technicians.

The manual should not document how to complete a LabSim section; rather, it should provide detailed instructions on how to build an actual computer for a potential customer:

“Drag the motherboard from the shelf to the motherboard plate in the system case.”

“After properly grounding yourself, pick up the motherboard and place it inside the area where the motherboard will sit in the case. Align the screw holes on the motherboard with the screw holes on the case. Use appropriate screws to mount the motherboard inside the case, making sure not to scratch the surface of the motherboard.”

To learn about the required parts which must be present in your submissions, and to learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, please take a moment to review the rubrics.

The manual will be submitted in three separate parts. Part 1 addresses Sections 1-5 of the overall manual, Part 2 addresses Sections 6-10, and Part 3 addresses Sections 11-12.

PC Build & Manual Part 1:

1. Workspace Preparation (LabSim 2.0)
2. Installing Motherboard (LabSim 3.3)
3. Installing Power Supply (LabSim 3.2)
4. Installing CPU (LabSim 3.5)
5. Installing RAM (LabSim 3.7/3.8)

  

Computer Requirements

–

· use the motherboard provided on the shelf

· appropriate power supply that support the motherboard

· fastest processor possible (available on the shelf and compatible with the motherboard)

· maximum memory possible in dual channel mode

· single hard drive

· single CD-DVD drive

· single video card

  

Manual Sections

–

In addition to including the sections listed below, your manual should

· address the environment in which the computer build will take place. For example, what are the best practices when working in a carpeted room?

· not use computer jargon. Although the manual will be used to train new technicians, it may also be used by someone with limited computer knowledge, so the manual must be easy to understand.

· include explanations on methodology. For example, why is it important to use an antistatic grounding bracelet when working with the computer? Or why is it important to install memory sticks in pairs?

The 12 sections of the overall manual are as follows:

1. Workspace Preparation (LabSim 2.0)

2. Installing Motherboard (LabSim 3.3)

3. Installing Power Supply (LabSim 3.2)

4. Installing CPU (LabSim 3.5)

5. Installing RAM (LabSim 3.7/3.8)

Present your discussion post as if you were presenting to senior leaders of your company.

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:

federated architecture in cloud systems

 

Discuss in 500 words or more  federated architecture in cloud systems. Remember that this is a cloud class not a database class. 

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. 

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Do not use attachments as a submission. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   You should make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts are due. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  Please do not submit attachments unless requested.
