Engineering Incentive Plan

Grow Co Engineering Incentive Plan – C

Performance in the design engineering department of a major manufacturer had been less than satisfactory in terms of adherence to schedule, drawing quality, and the number of “mission-critical” complaints received from operations personnel. In an attempt to address these problems, on December 1, 2022, GrowCo approved a 2023 short-term incentive compensation plan for its engineers. The plan provides the potential for an annual bonus based on individual performance. Engineers are to be evaluated annually on three major factors. Individual factors include (1) adherence to schedule deadlines and (2) drawing quality (opposite of error rate). They will also receive a “group rating” based on the number of major complaints received by the department from operations personnel. 30% of the bonus will be determined by performance to schedule; 50% will be determined by drawing quality; and the remaining 20% will be determined by the number of mission-critical complaints received by the department. The following table summarizes the criteria to be used in determining the bonus amounts:

Performance Criteria	Criterion Weight	Threshold Performance Rating	Target Performance Rating	Maximum Performance Rating
Adherence to Schedule	30%	70%	80%	100%
Drawing Quality	50%	90%	95%	100%
Number of Mission Critical Complaints Received by Dept.	20%	5	2	0

Note: Threshold performance is the minimum level of performance qualifying for an incentive award; target performance is the level of performance qualifying for the full incentive award; maximum performance rewards performance above target with an additional incremental incentive payout.

Engineering Incentive Plan

For each criterion, at threshold performance, the individual payout is 50% of target bonus; there is no payout for performance below threshold. At target performance, the individual payout is 100% of target bonus. At maximum performance, the individual payout is 150% of target bonus. Individual payout is adjusted proportionately for performance between these values; that is, payout values are interpolated when they fall between set values. For 2023, the individual bonus target was set at 20% of salary.

What would an engineer’s incentive payout be for 2023 if the engineer’s salary is $100000 and he/she attains target performance for adherence to schedule a drawing quality rating of 97.5%, and the department receives a total of 3 mission-critical complaints during 2023?, Interpolate as necessary. Show all work!,
What is your evaluation of GrowCo’s incentive plan?, That is what do you like about its design?, What do you not like?, What would you change if you could?, Is it consistent with the principles of individual incentive plans?, Explain the reasoning involved in your evaluation.

Engineering Incentive Plan

NOTE: Interpolation is the computation of points or values between points that are known based on their relationship to other known points. For example, if performance is ¼ of the distance between the performance threshold and the performance target, then one might estimate that an incentive payout would be ¼ of the distance between the threshold payout value and the target payout value. See PPT included in this week’s module for additional explanation.

Rhetorical Analysis Paper

By Academic Wizard Blog

guidelines for the Rhetorical Analysis Paper

Rhetorical analysis is the practice of investigating the various parts that make up a whole. We’ve already discussed how this happens in the messages (ads and commercials, FB status updates, tweets, Instagram pictures, media in general) we consume daily, but now, let’s turn our attention to the essays we’ve read and videos we’ve watched.

Several themes come up when discussing the theme of Love. I’d like you to identify one for your essay to develop into a rhetorical analysis. Here are some examples that you are free to use.

What role does the media including social media play in defining and redefining love? Must use the literature and video to make your arguments.,
What role does setting language culture religion and/or upbringing play in love?,

Examples of thesis statements:

By carefully incorporating ethos pathos and logos into his argument the author defines love as a tale of two stories.,
The goal of your rhetorical analysis is to form an opinion or value statement about the question/theme you’ve selected. I am not interested in a summary of the work but an analysis of certain elements of the literature you choose about the prompt you are pursuing. To do this you need to read the text closely.

Rhetorical Analysis Paper

I will also be looking for:

Specific details from the text.
A literature and video source to make your argument (provided at the end)

Interpreting School Data

By Academic Wizard Blog

Interpreting School Data Assignment

Please fill in your responses and submit the completed form.

Interpreting Information

Scenario E

Questions

Suppose you’re working with third-grade teachers at this school and they’re interested in examining how their students performed in terms of the language skills measured on this test. What does the data in this table indicate about whether boys and girls performed differently in the third grade?

Regarding a series of statements that people might make about different aspects of the Grade 3 data in this table, please indicate for each statement whether you agree or disagree and the reasons why. Remember to think aloud as you’re deciding on your answer.
1. A majority of third graders at this school have not achieved proficiency in ELA as measured by this test.
2. In Grade 3, boys were more likely than girls to score Below Basic on this assessment.
3. Of those students who scored Below Basic in Grade 3, most were Latino.

Interpreting School Data

Now let’s assume that you’re a fourth-grade teacher and these Grade 4 data are for mid-year performance on a benchmark test. If there is a particular group of fourth graders you think will be most likely to have trouble scoring basic or above on the state test at the end of the year, could you point out their data in this table? Which group would you be concerned about and what data trigger that concern? OR Why don’t you think the subgroup data in the table point to a priority need for any particular subgroup?
Now let’s go back to the Grade 3 data. Remember that these are for last year’s third graders., If there have been no major changes in the school’s student body teachers, or curriculum would you expect that,
1. On the basis of last year’s test scores girls can be expected to score higher than boys when this test is given to this year’s third graders.,
2. These data suggest that next year’s third-grade Asian/PI girls will score better than other third graders on this test.,

Bar Graph Components

Scenario F

Questions

What was Oak School’s average Total Math Score in 2003–04?,
What was the difference in the district’s total math score in 2005–06 compared with 2003–04?

Interpreting School Data

Please respond to these questions about how you would interpret the data in this chart.

Looking at the chart as a whole, what would this data tell you about fourth graders’ mathematics achievement at this school? Regarding a series of statements that people might make about the data in this graph and indicate for each one whether you agree or disagree and the reasons why. Remember to think aloud as you’re deciding on your answer.
1. Oak School does better than the district as a whole in Grade 4 mathematics.
2. Oak School has made some improvement in Grade 4 mathematics over this time period.
3. Relative to the district as a whole, Oak School fourth graders have been getting better in their problem-solving skills.
4. Relative to the district as a whole, Oak School fourth graders have been getting better in their computation skills.
5. Oak School’s progress in narrowing the Grade 4 math achievement gap with the rest of the district has been in problem solving rather than computation.

Interpreting School Data

Suppose Oak School had started using a new mathematics program at the beginning of the 2004-05 school year while the rest of the district continued with the old program. Looking at these data, what are your thoughts about the new curriculum?
1. The math program appeared to improve achievement the first year it was used but the benefit disappeared the next year.
2. The new math program appeared to help students with their computation skills.
3. You can’t be sure whether the program is having an effect because there may be differences between the different classes of fourth graders.
4. Scores move around from year to year, but the new math program appears promising and should be monitored for more years.
Are there other issues or possible explanations that should be taken into account as well?

Evaluation Table

By Academic Wizard Blog

Create a body of evidence (Evaluation Table) to compare the three studies you appraised in weeks 4 and 5. See the evaluation table templates D1 and D2 (linked below) for examples.In weeks 4 and 5, you completed the critical appraisal of three studies. This week, you will meld these studies into a synthesis upon which to base practice and standards of care. To create this synthesis, you’ll compare the three studies using an “Evaluation Table” that includes the following:

Citation: Author, Date of Publication, & Title
Purpose of Study
Conceptual Framework
Design/ Method
Sample/Setting
Major Variables Studied and Their Definitions
Measurement of Major Variables
Data Analysis
Study Findings
Worth to Practice:
Level of Evidence
Strengths/Weaknesses
Feasibility
Conclusion

Evaluation Table

Your PICOT question is the driver for the evaluation table and synthesis tables. For example, with data analysis, while many statistics may be reported in a study, only those statistics that assist you in answering your clinical question should be placed in the table. Also, only the findings relevant to the clinical question should be placed in the table. Keeping the order of information placed in the table clear and simple is imperative for comparisons across studies for synthesis.

Some suggestions to make the table user-friendly are to:

(a) use abbreviations (e.g., RCT) with a legend for interpretation,
(b) keep the order of the information the same in each study, and
(c) place similar statistics in the same order in each study for easy comparison.

History of Present Illness

By Academic Wizard Blog

HPI – history of present illness. This is subjective data that the patient or parent is telling you about the illness. It is the “story” of why the patient is coming to see you, include anything that is relevant (such as co-morbidities).

Example: 5yo female with history of asthma brought to the clinic by mother for c/o cough for 5 days, worse at night. Cough sounds barky. Mother also reports the patient is wheezing and short of breath when engaging in activity. Also has a runny nose and sore throat. Had a fever of 102 yesterday but none today. Cough is worse at night. Drinking well, urinating normally. Siblings are also sick.

History of Present Illness

PMH – past medical history (include gestation prematurity and delivery problems if pertinent),

Surgical history

Family history,

Medications (name of medication dose indication) use prescriptive format,

Immunizations

Social or Home situation – who do they live with siblings pets (pertinent for respiratory or allergy complaints) smoking. For the well visit you would go over the developmental milestones.,

ROS-review of systems: review all of the pertinent body systems (even if you covered it in the HPI). For the well visit you will need to do a complete ROS.,

Physical exam: complete if a well child pertinent systems for a specific complaint., However EVERY patient should have a Respiratory and Cardiovascular assessment., You will include vital signs and the results of any diagnostic testing.,

Include age appropriate developmental assessment, including milestones and stages.

Differential Diagnoses: What disease do you think is causing the symptoms? List your primary or working diagnosis first. Include 3 differentials with supporting pathology. You can put pertinent positives and negatives to support your diagnosis.

History of Present Illness

Plan of Care: Include everything that you will do for this patient. Medications, written in prescriptive format (dose, route, frequency, duration, indication). Any lab work or diagnostic testing that you will order. Non pharmacologic therapies. Patient teaching including things the patient can do to prevent disease transmission, symptoms that you would want the patient to watch for and what to do if they occur. Follow up directions – including a time frame and who/where they should go. Remember for your Well Visit you will need to discuss anticipatory guidance!

History of Present Illness

Reference your sources using APA format. Use your advanced practice journal article for pathophysiology or treatment plan information for the diagnosis.

Follow the grading rubric. Some of these case studies will be long. As always, speak to your assigned faculty if you have any questions.
