An advisory board member for the engineering technology programs recently approached us and described a problem his firm is having. The firm has embraced diversity and wants to hire more female engineers; however, they just don’t have any who apply. They are seeking ways, both internally and through outreach efforts, to increase the number of female job applicants for engineering positions. What ideas might you provide to the company? Is this a problem with which a professional engineering firm should be concerned?

Outreach, by increasing advertisements for hiring out into the open, the possibility of more female applicants is possible. By adjusting the company’s site to be more diversity oriented, a potential applicant could be swayed to join the company. Going to local colleges’ engineering classes and handing out flyers to students. For internal efforts, ask the current female employees how the company could do better. Offer internships to female engineering students, and offer them jobs once they graduate. This is a problem for any engineering firm, as having a more diverse workforce could help them obtain better results from the work the firm has done.

I think one of the successful ideas that the company must follow in order to fill engineering positions is for the company to make field visits to secondary schools and colleges and talk to female students who want consultations in order to enter the ladder of higher education and correct the categorical concept that calls for engineering jobs to be limited to men only as it must The companies provide scholarship and counseling for female students and provide all facilities and temptations that are represented in incentives and rewarding salaries, some graduation and entry into the career path. Another thing that this company can do is to trains and rehabilitates some workers from the female component and sends them to engineering colleges for the purpose of learning and returning to the company to occupy engineering positions and offering them free scholarships to obtain certificates that help them perform their work without difficulty.
After a Lakewood IT management team meeting, they decided there is a need for even more information about the the IT service solutions you researched last week. The management team asked for more detail about the solutions you identified as the best selections. Revisit the solutions you selected in week 2’s paper in order to compare and contrast, at least five, features and functions in each solution. In addition, be sure to identify risks associated with implementing each recommended solution. Lastly, make sure to gather and include the capital costs and any on-going operational costs for the hardware/software associated with each solution.
The paper must not exceed 5 pages of content (the title page, abstract [if required], reference pages, figures/tables, and appendices are not content pages).

Implementation Plan Phase
Describe how to make your solution design a reality within the target organization. Addressed to middle and senior management, the implementation plan builds upon the prior two phases and should be appended to the previous deliverable. This deliverable is due in Week 8.
The plan is a road map to improve the state of IT Governance. It typically describes “what happens”, “when it happens”, “who makes it happen”, and the proof that the design works. A successful completion of the Implementation Plan should suggest that the organization has now transitioned to a better compliance and IT Governance posture.
Here are the key components of the Implementation Plan deliverable.
• Schedule policy changes by departments, functions, or organization(s).
• Identify potential pilot projects to support the implementation plan.
• Define periodic internal and/or external compliance audits to validate the implementation.
Course Project Expectations
Here is the list of the required content for the course project.
• Cover page
• Table of contents – the three phases and their sections
• Executive summary – one page, or less
• Problem definition statement
• Solution design overview
• Solution design
• Presentation of issue discovered and addressed
• Diagrams where appropriate
• Supporting information for actual events, regulations, breaches, crimes, etc.
• Potential or actual consequences of not implementing the suggested design.
• Risk assessment used in the solution design phase.
• Cost estimates where possible.
• Implementation overview
• Implementation schedule, required resources, and new/updated policies.
• Implementation operational impact forecast.
• Method used to prove the design addressed the requirements.
• Post-implementation expectations, benefits, and follow-up activities.
• References
Research: Use credible sources upon which to base your project report. In cases where the source is necessary, but credibility is not assured, you must note it in the text of your documents. You are required to use the APA style for both in-text citations and the References section of the project deliverable.
Originality: Use citations to indicate where ideas have come from outside sources. All writing must be in your own words. No direct quotations of outside sources are allowed without citations.
Deliverables: Everything should add value and move the reader to the next point. The minimum length of the final deliverable — not counting the cover page, table of contents, and references — is four double-spaced pages. The maximum length is eight pages. Unless approved by your professor, do not submit deliverables that have fewer or more pages than what is expected.
