Write A Proposal And Report On A Chosen Topic

Write A Proposal Andor Report In Which You Pick A Topic Ie

You will write a proposal and/or report in which you pick a topic (i.e., parking on campus) and imagine that you are working in a group with a specific solution in mind for the proposed “problem”. Write a report about the status of a specific solution you have set out for the “problem” that is your topic. Provide specific details about why your solution is/is not working, what you are doing to fix the situation, anticipated completion date, etc. The most important element of this report is your argument about why your solution is a good one.

Audience: Imagine that your specific audience is higher up in an organization hierarchy, but also keep in mind that in many ways your argument is to the larger audience of all of your coworkers. Yes, you need to convince the organization to make the change, but you also need to convince them that they will be able to “sell” this to everyone else once they make the decision. While they have the power, decisions are never about a single person. You need to think of things from the company’s perspective—in terms of why your solution is viable and how it will be perceived by others.

Proposal/Report Topics

1. A proposal for a change in your community that will address a problem or issue that impacts the quality of life in your community.
2. A proposal for a change in your workplace (the fictitious business your group created) that will improve the morale, productivity, or safety of the employees.
3. A proposal for a change in your specific department (at Nicholls) that will improve the quality of education for students in your major.

Development/Organization: Short Report

Since this is a section of the book we have NOT covered, you are responsible for making yourself aware of what type of report style and formatting you want to use. Most importantly, because this “problem” is one you’ve invented, you cannot simply “brag” about how well you are getting along in your solution. Rather, your report needs to address why and how your solution is proving effective for the stated problem.

Paper For Above instruction

In this report, I will analyze the ongoing implementation of a proposed solution to improve parking accessibility on campus. The issue of limited parking availability has increasingly impacted students, faculty, and staff, leading to frustration and time wastage. Our group's solution involves the development of a coordinated parking management system that includes designated priority zones for students, staff, and visitors, alongside the integration of real-time parking availability apps. This report evaluates the current status of this solution, examines its effectiveness, and presents arguments supporting its continued development and potential expansion.

The core of the solution revolves around the deployment of advanced sensor technology and a user-friendly mobile application that provides real-time data on parking space availability. Currently, pilot testing has been conducted in several high-traffic zones, with preliminary data indicating a reduction in time spent searching for parking and improved overall satisfaction among users. However, challenges such as system integration issues and the need for increased user engagement remain. To address these, ongoing adjustments include upgrading sensor hardware, expanding Wi-Fi coverage, and launching targeted awareness campaigns.

The effectiveness of this solution hinges largely on its capacity to reduce congestion and improve user experience. Data collected indicates a 25% decrease in average parking search time in test zones, alongside positive feedback emphasizing ease of use and reliability. Continual troubleshooting is focused on enhancing hardware durability and ensuring app accuracy, which directly impacts user trust and system adoption. The anticipated completion date for full campus-wide deployment is planned for the start of the next academic year, allowing sufficient time for refinement based on pilot feedback.

From an argumentative standpoint, this parking management system is a compelling solution because it leverages emerging technology to address an urgent campus problem sustainably. It aligns with the university’s goals to promote efficiency, reduce carbon footprint by minimizing unnecessary driving, and enhance campus experience. Moreover, the scalability of the system ensures that it can be adapted to future campus expansion or increased demand. The ability to demonstrate measurable improvements in parking search times and user satisfaction provides concrete evidence for stakeholders to support further investment.

Furthermore, the success of this project can be effectively communicated to the broader campus community through targeted outreach, emphasizing the benefits such as reduced stress, time savings, and environmental impact. Building a sense of collective investment and shared responsibility is essential for widespread acceptance. Strategic marketing can highlight user testimonials and data-backed results to foster buy-in among skeptical stakeholders. This ensures that the solution not only resolves a current issue but also garners sustained support for future enhancements.
