Task -

Task 2a (ii) requires you to do a little more research and share information with your team members. In this task you will build on the information collected in Task 2a(i) and you will collect more information on problem identification and technical solutions, evaluate a series of design solutions and prepare a report. You will develop a set of design criteria and form a template of three to five measurable design requirements and test a minimum of two design options against these requirements. The focus article should be included in this task.

The following structure is required for your preliminary report:

Title Page - meaningful and attention grabbing

Introduction

Background information: consider location, community, project, ethics, humanitarian engineering and EWB
Purpose of the report
Preview of what is in the report

Problem Definition

Consider the current state of the community, current and future problems, your role as engineers and why a solution is important.
Analyse what are the main cultural, economic, environmental and social issues

Technical Review of Options

Select a design area and justify it
Briefly consider - current solutions, existing technologies, modifications to existing technologies, innovative or original solutions, what is happening in other locations. Look at academic articles and 'Patents as well as the EWB website.

Design Assessment Criteria

Consider - criteria such as cost, strength, sustainability, ethics, technical functionality, environmental impact or cultural appropriateness etc.

Design Selection

Consider - community involvement, community acceptance and communication of your ideas.
Indicate why the design requirement is important and support your claim with evidence.

Conclusion

Restate your purpose and summarise your findings

Design Recommendation

Make recommendations based on your findings. Justify the priority of these recommendations.
Consider - time, cost, community importance etc. when justifying your recommendations.

Format and Presentation

Correct report structure and presentation using the UTS style guide. You may select your own meaningful title, headings and sub-headings

Appendix - to include evidence of the use of REFWORKS and 1 page from each of any four sources showing active reading.

Task 2b this task requires you to orally present the progress of your research to date and how it will be useful in the development of Task 2a (i) and (ii) and the EWB Challenge report. It will discuss the sources found so far and identify gaps for your future research. Your presentation should take 3 minutes.

On completion of these sub-tasks, you should have the information required to contribute to your team discussions and help in the decision-making and problem solving processes. These tasks will provide material for the completion of the first section of your written team report.

There is one pdf file which is also attached, is the EWB challenge have a look on it. My design area is water supply in the region which is mention in the EWB challenge. Read it as it is the main and the only source of the report. Search on the internet to get the details and water problems in that area. Make sure that my main topic is water supply. The report should include photos, table of content, in text citation and UTS harvard referencing. Make sure you use 2 to 3 sources for some headings i already mentioned in the photos. have a look.
