Suburbia Board Game Review

This is a review essay after playing a board game called Suburbia. The instructions for the essay is in the attachments, and also two youtube videos explaining the rules of the game.

Lab Report

1. Normal stress versus normal strain curve; identify unconfined compressive strength qu
2. Mohr circle at failure, where minor principal stress at failure = 0 and major principal stress at failure = qu; determine undrained shear strength Su (i.e., Su = qu/2).
3. Consistency of the specimen tested

Bibliometric Analysis for Advanced Manufacturing Management

Problem Statement
Bibliometric analysis is a scientific computer-assisted review methodology that can identify core research or authors and their relationship by covering all the publications related to a given topic or field.

Although the term ‘Advanced Management Management’ is relatedly new, there exist several institutions of higher education offering credentials and teaching courses on the topic. These include the Indian State University (Indiana, USA), John Tyler Community College (Virginia, USA), Sheridan College (Ontario, Canada), and the University of South Carolina Upstate (South Carolina, USA). These institutions represent a broad spectrum ranging from a two-year community college to a Doctoral/Research University. However, there remains a lack of a formal definition of Advanced Manufacturing Management.

Your task is to perform a guided Bibliometric Analysis using the following terms and databases:

Terms:
‘Advanced Manufacturing’
‘Advanced Manufacturing’ AND ‘Management’
“Advanced Manufacturing Management”
“Management of[*] Advanced Manufacturing”

Databases:
Web of Science, Elsevier/Science Direct, and Google Scholar
Write a one-page report of your findings and analysis — describing what you have learned

Route And Trip Planning Assignment

Program: Civil Engineering – Transportation
Need to design a transit service network through using Google Earth and calculate/estimate multiple different costs and details related to the network in Microsoft Excel. Willing to pay more as it’s not much of a essay, rather design and calculations. Doesn’t necessarily have to be 6 pages, as long as all components of the assignment are met. Down below is the criteria and attached is the assignment data. If any other details are needed, please let me know!
P.S – To open the Medicine Hat Transit Map file, Google Earth needs to be downloaded.
The City of Medicine Hat in Alberta is looking to redesign its current transit system. As such, the city has approached our class to develop transit routing options and estimate costs and funding for a new transit service to start in the year 2024.
Your responsibilities will be to do the following:
Create a transit service network for the City of Medicine Hat based on data provided in the word document and the kmz file above
Write a memorandum to the City of Medicine Hat Councilors justifying your transit system network, classifying/explaining each specific routing and how your network meets the standards set out in the above word document. Be sure to include issues you faced in terms of land-use planning or road connections, etc. that make it difficult to create an ideal network
Estimate the operator and km costs of each of your routings as per your instructions in class based on details in the provided word document
Estimate proposed ridership based on details provided in the word document
Estimate the proposed passengers per route per hour by averaging them out over each bus on the route
Calculate the proposed revenue and then the R/C ratio
Write conclusions on why your system is the best for the City of Medicine Hat and whether they should purchase the 18 proposed buses or more/less based on your calculations. (Note; be sure to use your interlining knowledge in order to save buses if possible, especially in the peak hour)
The student(s) must also submit an excel file or hand written calculations outlining all the above. I would HIGHLY suggest you use excel as: it’s easier, you should get experience using it for employment and if you make a change to a route after calculations, it’s simple to adjust compared to hand written calculations. The excel file should be organized such that I will be able to understand how your calculations were undertaken with minimal effort. Marks will be deducted if I cannot easily ascertain your calculations.
Please note, that when designing a transit network, there is no “right” answer. Some networks are better than others, but the chosen network should be thoroughly justified, through explanations to town council. Students should remember that as transit planners, we are responsible to all local taxpayers, and not just the taxpayers who use the service.
Please also note that Medicine Hat transit service does exist currently and you can find the routings on the Internet. Please DO NOT look for this service information until after you have completed your transit network. Their current service network is not the ‘right answer’ for this project and I would argue that it would be a ‘wrong answer’ as the information I have provided above is not based in reality and any proposed service map would not help you with this assignment. Additionally, if you look at any proposed service, you will become focused on the paths those routings follow and have difficulty being creative on your own.
Please see below for a 20 minute video tutorial using Google Earth, the first 11 minutes explain how to work Google Earth and draw/modify routes. The second portion of the video explains how to save your files and typical issues that students encounter as saving isn’t the most intuitive:

instruction below

as a structural civil engineer select 2 practices from below. We want to use these ideas to make A building at Penn State Harrisburg called Olmstead LEED-certified. select the 2 practices from below and provide a full review of what they are, how they work, and how they are considered sustainable practices to help PSH. Note: no design (sizing, cost estimate etc) is needed.
Here are the practices.
Public Electric Transport: Campuses, particularly big campuses, can invest in public electric
transport to reduce the use of private vehicles. Although this technology requires a higher
capital cost, it offers significant economic and environmental benefits because of reduced
maintenance, use of alternative power, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
 Plastic Recycling Facilities: Aside from discouraging single-use plastic, the campus can also
invest in plastic recycling facilities. The campus can set up more recycling bins and partner with
recycling facilities to recycle plastics collected from students, faculties, and other staff.
 LED Lights: Traditional lights should be replaced with energy-efficient LED lighting. LED lights
reduce energy consumption by 40%, which can help the campus save on energy costs.
 Solar Power: The campus should also start investing in renewable energy sources. Solar panels
can be installed in different areas on campus to make sustainable energy cheaper and more
accessible. Although the installation requires a budget, it brings more benefits, like a constant
source of renewable energy.
 Carbon Capture and Storage: Instead of focusing on completely decarbonizing the campus, the
campus can develop a system that safely captures carbon emissions and permanently store
them. By storing carbon emissions, they no longer contribute to damaging the environment.
