CpE 481 Assignment – Due: February 26Ethical Issues in Hybrid and Autonomous VehiclesFor this assignment, you will select a topic associated with hyrbrid autonomous vehicles and ethics andwrite a brief (3-4 page) report.Some possible topics might include:• Design of Driving Algorithm for Emergency Situations. As drivers, all of us hope a situation likethis never arises. What if apedestrian walks directly in front of our vehicle? Hitting apedestrian likely has severe consequences but alternatives might put ourselves and passengersat risk of great bodily injury. Such choices are weighty when they fall on individual humans, butwhat are the ethical dilemmas at arise when we are designing an algorithm that controls thevehicle and makes choices for such situations? What are our responsibilities as an engineer?• Tradeoff of energy efficiency versus safety. A hybrid vehicle offers many possibilities forimproving fuel consumption efficiency which benefits both the individual user and society ingeneral. However, some of methods for fuel efficiency may involve safety considerations. Forexample, allowing a vehicle that is slowing to a stop to come closer to the lead vehicle in frontmay allow for more gradual deceleration and greater fuel efficiency, but also may allow smallersafety margin. How should such tradeoffs be resolved?• Privacy of individual movement data. V2X communications will inherently collect a great dealof user-specific information on an individual’s movements. What information should be usedand for what purposes? It seems reasonable to use metadata to devise more efficient trafficrouting which speeds overall throughput? But what if you have the choice between optimizingoverall traffic throughput vs. an individuals time to their destination? Should information beused to steer an individual on a route where past history indicates they have favoredrestaurants and stores? Should user preferences be shared with third party marketers?• Optimal design of autonomous systems for safety versus efficiency tradeoffs. Is safety theoverriding concern in design of autonomous vehicle safety or do other factors like economy andfuel efficiency play a role also? Adding more sensors might make a vehicle system safer butalso might push the vehicle price past what is affordable by most potential users. Allowingshorter spacing between vehicles may improve fuel efficiency in some instances, but might alsoslightly elevate safety risks? What tradeoffs are ethical and in keeping with our responsabilitiesas engineers?These are just a few of the possible topics. You may pick one of these, or another one of your choosing.Dr. Woerner is available to help advise you on your choice of topic. Full credit will be given for papersthat relate the problem to the EcoCAR project.Your paper should:• Clearly state the ethical problem or dilemma consider.• Cite the relevant sections of one or more professional Codes of Ethics (e.g., IEEE, ACM, SAE,NSPE) and apply the guidance from these codes to the problem considered.• Cite one or more outside references (books, journal, magazine or conference papers) whichconsider the problem and discuss the information learned.• Present a clear analysis of the tradeoffs involved in the ethical problem, considering all points ofview.• Propose a solution to the problem presented, and justify your solution with support from ethicalcodes, your research and reasoning.The paper should be written in complete sentences using proper grammar. References should be clearlycited, and directly quoted material should be clearly identified by quotes or indentation.We will provide the Turnitin tool on eCampus for this assignment. The Turnitin settings allow you to runan analysis of your own paper, and if necessary, resubmit the paper after corrections.

I need an analytical/research paper written for me for my theatre class. In this essay, I am required to write 4-5 pages comparing and contrasting the culture/themes between the Yuan plays and Shakespeare plays. I need a solid and arguable thesis. The Shakespeare play that would be used is Othello and the Yuan play would be Autumn in Han Palace, 189-224. A topic or theme they both have in common is the agency given to women in these plays or how each playwright treats the idea of honor. We had different essay options to write and these are the instructions for the one that I selected:Option #1: Two CulturesChoose two dramatic works, playwrights or performance types/techniques from two distinctlydifferent cultures to analyze. Your analysis will compare and contrast one to the other, bylooking at similarities and differences between the two. Ultimately, what conclusions can youdraw about culture in comparing these side by side? Please use examples and textualevidence from the plays you are discussing in order to backup your analysis, but do not retellthe story of the play. You may use a play (or plays) we have read or will read, though youmust use research that goes beyond what we have studied in class. You also may chooseplays or playwrights we have not studied.below I included the pdf of the instructions for the entire essay. the prompt I chose is option 1.

Consider a technology in the Mechanical Engineering field invented outside of the U.S.(a) Describe the cultural and social factors in that country that led to this technology’s invention.(b) Describe how this invention has evolved and influenced the culture of the U.S.(c) You must include at least two references.(d)Minimum word count: 300

To explain the working principle and its application.

SHORT ANSWERS (4 @ 10 points = 40%) Pick four out of ten questions listed below. For each question be sure to include reference to at least two required readings in USP2. See instructions at the end of this study guide spelling out how we want you to handle references in the body of your short answers and as a bibliographic entry at the tail end of your short answer. Your reference to the reading should say something about this author’s or organization’s contribution to the subject matter posed in question (i.e., weave it into your brief narrative). Each short answer should be approximately 350-500 words, not including the bibliography.1.No matter what political perspective colors one’s analysis, planetary urbanization taking place in the 21st century can be viewed as having five fundamental features (as spelled out in USP2 lectures). Briefly list each one with an example noting how it impacts cities in some way that you find particularly hopeful or disturbing.2.List and describe one of the global megatrends that is driving urban-ecological “localization” (e.g., local greening of the economy, local sourcing of food-energy water systems, greening of infrastructure thru restorative closed-loop development). In your description of the global megatrend be sure to give a sense of its magnitude and ways in which it has begun to drive localization.3.As discussed in USP2 lectures and readings, what point does the shift “[From D–>E, to E–>D]” mean?  How has this shift in the way we think about development and the environment influenced urban and regional planning? Give an example.4.On average over the past decade, cities in the less developed regions have been at higher risk of exposure to natural disasters and more vulnerable to disaster-related economic losses and mortality than those in the more developed regions. Briefly explain why this is the case with an example.5. David Wallace-Wells’s article, “The Uninhabitable Earth,” describes several ways in which climate change threatens humanity. Describe one of them and suggest, based on readings in USP 2 what we might be able to do to reduce this existential threat.6.Considering what you’ve learned about informal settlements on the outskirts of Mexico City, explain how these informal settlements blur the urban-rural distinction. Is there something about informal settlement processes in developing countries that may be useful in more developed countries?7.Suggest ways in which we can improve community-university relationships, especially with respect to democratizing science and technology, for instance how S&T priorities are set, how S&T gets developed, used and/or evaluated.8.Globally, urban spread (the urban footprint) on the face of the planet is increasing faster than population. Why does this matter and what can be done about it?9.In Pezzoli, K. and A. Leiter Robert (2016). “Creating healthy and just bioregions. The authors spell out an “Integrated Planning Framework” to deal with the arguments made by Sennett et al (2018) calling for planning and design to operate at both metropolitan and neighborhood scale (section 2.4). How so, explain the Integrated Planning Framework, including the idea of green regionalism.10.Consider what you have learned about the Colonia Ecológica Productiva of Ajusco in Mexico City. Describe the Colonia Ecológica Productiva  using at least three key terms from the course. What lessons can be drawn from this experience in terms of the challenges and possibilities for a new kind of urban development?

Please draw a Sequential Step Chart (SSC) for the following PLC sequential control problem. 6-11(a) Write a documented program that will implement the following continuous filling operation: Start the conveyor when the Start button is momentarily pressed. Stop the conveyor when the Stop button is momentarily pressed. Energize the Run status light when the process is operating. Energize the Standby status light when the process is stopped. Stop the conveyor and energize the Standby light when the right edge of the box is first sensed by the photosensor. With the box in position and the conveyor stopped, open the solenoid valve and allow the box to fill. Filling should stop when the Level sensor goes true. Energize the Full light when box is full. The Full light should remain energized until the box is moved clear of the photosensor. 34 Use the Silo Simulator screen and the following addresses to simulate the program: Start (NO contact) _ I:1/0 Stop (NC contact) _ I:1/1 Photo Switch (NO contact) _ I:1/3 Level Switch (NO contact) _ I:1/4 Conveyor Motor _ O:2/0 Solenoid _ O:2/1 Run Light _ O:2/2 Standby Light _ O:2/3 Full Light _ O:2/4

ACR Consulting, a brand new company, is looking at furnishing its boardroom. One of the components required is a television set along with a projector. Please write a proposal to that effect.

I decided to focus on Michigan (where I live) and the neighboring state of Wisconsin, it is a possibility one day we may relocate. As long as regulatory requirements differ from state to state, each state border represents an obstacle to portability—potentially preventing access to professionals and access to care (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, n.d.). Wisconsin and Michigan are both located within region five.I first wanted to explore the practicing regulations for both states and what that means as a practitioner. Michigan’s Board of Nursing (B.O.N.) is the regulatory agency for the state in which I reside and plan to practice as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Michigan’s Regulatory Structure is considered Restricted Practice, State practice and licensure laws restrict the ability of N.P.s to engage in at least one element of N.P. Practice. State law requires career-long supervision, delegation, or team management by another health provider for the N.P. to provide patient care (Michigan, 2020). Wisconsin Board of Nursing (B.O.N.), is the regulatory structure for our sister state. Wisconsin’s Regulatory Structure is considered Reduced Practice, State practice and licensure laws reduce the ability of N.P.s to engage in at least one element of N.P. Practice. State law requires a career-long regulated collaborative agreement with another health provider for the N.P. to provide patient care, or it limits the set of one or more elements of N.P. Practice (Michigan, 2020). After reading more into both regulations, it is my understanding in both states as a Nurse Practitioner that I would not be allowed to open my practice. I will always need to be in collaboration with a physician. Neither Wisconsin nor Michigan will recognize a Nurse Practitioner as a primary care provider. Both will allow a Nurse Practitioner to prescribe Schedules II-V controlled substances if delegated by a physician. For example, in either to state, if I were to see a patient that was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and wanted to prescribe Ritalin, I would have to have my collaborating physician review the chart consult before prescribing the medication. The second regulation I would like to compare is the ability to have a Medical Staff Membership. According to the A.A.N.P., in Wisconsin per rule WI ADC s DHS 124.12 Nurse Practitioners are not permitted to join medical staffs. In the state of Michigan per the A.A.N.P. M.C.L.A. 331.1303 Each board of trustees and subsidiary board may select nurse practitioners for membership on their medical team. I was surprised when I read this regulation: Nurse Practitioners in our hospitals here in Michigan and round with the providers. The cost reduction in medical services alone, I feel, would be substantial enough to disseminate this regulation. A Nurse practitioner working with a physician to see patients in the hospital can lead to more efficient and quality care and provide decreased wait times for patients.
