Question 1: You are the chief systems engineer for Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic Corporation, Ltd. As you are aware, last Friday, October 31st, there was a tragic and serious failure of SpaceShipTwo, during a powered test flight from the Mojave Space Port in California. The copilot, Mike Alsbury, died in the crash, and the pilot, Pete Siebold, was seriously injured, but survived the accident. Sir Richard has given you the job of leading the internal investigation of the accident for the systems engineering group. Your first task is to write a short (approximately 200 words or less) Problem Statement, capturing the essence of the problem now facing Virgin Galactic. Remember that currently, some 700 people, including many well known celebrities, have paid a $250,000 deposit each for a ride on Virgin Galactic's space ship, for a 30 minute ride to the edge of space....
Question 2: You are a systems engineer working for the Los Angeles Metro Rail organization. Specifically, you work for the light railway/subway division of Metro. Your supervisor has asked you to create an FFBD diagram, showing the first level flow of functional requirements for a passenger going to the Wilshire-Vermont Metro station, parking their vehicle, boarding the subway, and taking it to the proposed Beverly Hills Robertson Boulevard station, and getting off there. Again, you only need to show the first level of the FFBD (e.g. blocks with 1.0, 2.0, etc, level details). Be sure to use both an action verb and a descriptive noun in each of your block titles...
Question 3: You are a general contractor/civil engineer, running a private home construction business that specializes in designing and then building custom, high priced/expensive homes. Kim Kardashian (yes, THAT Kim Kardashian) has contracted you to build an 8500 square foot custom home for her and her husband, Kanye West. There is a potential issue, however, in that Kim's prior husband, Kris Humphries, is owed $300,000 by Kim, due to a personal loan that she made to him during the time that they were married (2011 to 2013).. The loan comes due in the next 120 days, and that will directly conflict with the required, non-refundable deposit you require to start the construction of Kim and Kanye's new home...
Identify two (2) risks that you can foresee emerging from this financial issue, that you as the contractor must handle. Be sure to use proper risk statement formatting (e.g., an antecedent and consequence for each risk item).
Also, where on the risk "cube"/Probability Impact Diagram below, would you place these two risk items/candidates?? Write up a few sentences describing how you decided to place the two risks where you did on the PID diagram...
