Prepare a written plan for the doctors suggesting nutrition requirements that should be included in the diets for patients with a specific illness. The justification for your recommendations should include both algebraic and graphic components. areisen https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156864005

Your supervisor informs you that you will be working in teams to analyze the energy efficiency of several living complexes that are being developed in the area. Each team will be assigned a different housing unit to evaluate. You are expected to design a working circuit that represents the electrical flow of the unit, determine the impedance and graph the projected monthly electrical expenses. You must then compare your findings with that of another team and make a recommendation as to the most cost efficient housing unit. Remember, for this project you are the electrical engineering analyst for the state and your final project must provide potential residents a valuable resource to assist them in determining the most cost efficient units. areisen https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156864218 2017-02-28 20:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156864218 Unit Three: Your company has been fired by the local county commission to design your own fireworks show. Before they sign the final contract you must present your design before the commission. As part of your presentation you must include a scale drawing of our site plan. You must also show how you plan to design the fireworks show so that your fireworks will provide the most appealing entertainment. This includes timing, safety, and height of the burst. This situation can be modeled by quadratic functions; therefore you should use mathematics to prove and justify your results. areisen https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156864671 2017-02-28 20:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156864671 Unit Four: The Game of Life - Financial Literacy game. areisen https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156865611 2017-02-28 20:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156865611 Unit Five: Congress is about to consider the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act (CSA). You and your team have been hired by the office of Senator Robert C. Byrd to write a brief. The brief needs to explain the mathematical models that scientists have used to make predictions about global climate changes. In order to reach a decision on whether to vote yes or no on the bill, Senator Byrd will use your brief to help evaluate the reliability of the scientist’s predictions. areisen https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156865721 2017-02-28 20:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/areisen/cwjv9d7ypj8q/wish/156865721
