Project Description:

As you near graduation from college, you plan to apply to various graduate schools. You have prepared a draft of a statement of purpose that you will include in an application packet to each university to which you apply. You modify the statement of purpose so that it is attractive and error free. In addition, you include such items as a table, picture, header, footer, and footnote, formatting text in columns where appropriate. Finally, you use mail merge to prepare personalized copies.

Start Word. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Word_AppCapstone_IntroAssessment_Research.docx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

Apply the Slice document theme.   Select all text in the document and change the font to Bookman Old Style.   Change the font size to 12. Adjust the right and left margins to 1.5″.
 

  If the theme is not available, click or select Browse for Themes, and then   select the downloaded theme file Slice.thmx.

Insert a header (select Edit   Header) that includes a left-aligned page number. Close the header.

Insert a manual page break   before the second paragraph on the second page, beginning with On behalf of the faculty and staff.

Select all text that displays   before the newly inserted page break and double-space the selected text.   Remove any paragraph spacing from the selected text.

Move to the beginning of the   document and press ENTER. Remove the First line indent from the newly   inserted blank paragraph. At the new paragraph, type Statement of Purpose and apply bold formatting to the   title. Center the title.

In the second paragraph on the   first page, place the insertion point after the period at the end of the   sentence that ends with by the   University of Arizona. Insert a footnote that reads The Three Minute Thesis Competition is open to all   academic disciplines at the university. (include the period).

Modify the Footnote Text style,   changing the font to Bookman Old Style and the font size to 12.

Find all occurrences of the word   sophomore in   the document and change the word to student.

Insert a footer (select Edit   Footer) and type 2024 Fall in the footer space. Change the   footer font to Bookman Old Style and change the footer font size to 12. Close   the footer.

Select all text on pages 4 and 5   and format it in two columns. Insert a Continuous section break before the   words On behalf of the faculty and   staff at the top of the fourth page.

Click or position the insertion   point before the newly inserted section break at the top of the fourth page   and change the column setting to One. Type Welcome to   the College of Business and press ENTER twice. Select Welcome to   the College of Business and apply the Title style. Reduce the font size   to 22. Center the newsletter title.

Add a bottom border with a   weight of 1 1/2 to the text Welcome to   the College of Business.

Place the insertion point before   the words The College of Business at   the beginning of the second body paragraph on the fourth page. Insert the University.jpg picture, downloaded with this   project. Change the picture style to Reflected Rounded Rectangle. Resize the   picture height to 1″ and select Square text wrapping.

Place the insertion point after   the period ending the first paragraph on the second page (ending in upon graduation). Press ENTER. Remove   the First line indent. Insert a 2-column by 6-row table. Change the width of   the second column to 1″.

Payroll Lab

You will be taking in a file (payroll.txt) which details a number of departments (at least 1) and in each department are a set of employees (each department will have at least 1 employee or it would not appear on the payroll sheet). Your job is to read the file in separate out each employee and calculate the total values (hours, salary, number of employees) for each department and in each category (F1, F2, F3, F4). In your final submission please include the .cpp file which should work for any kind of payroll file I supply (which will naturally match the format of the examples below). Be sure to indicate in your submission text if you have attempted any of the bonus points .

An example file:

The IT Department

Last in the row after the hours comes the pay grade (F1, F2, F3, F4). The number of hours recorded is based on the pay grade of the employee. F1 and F2s will have 5 numbers for their hours. F3s are commission based where a sales amount and a commission percentage is given. F3s are also assumed to work 30 hours if their commission is 10% or below and 40 hours if their commission is above 10%. F4s will have 7 numbers (as they are on-call during the weekend). Each of the pay grades will also have different pay calculations which are as follows:

F1 = The total number of hours * 11.25
F2 = (The total number of hours – 35) * 18.95 + 400
F3 = The total sales amount * the commission rate
F4 = The first 5 hourly totals * 22.55 + Any weekend hourly totals (the last 2) * 48.75

Your output to the screen should start with the department name, followed by the total pay for all of the employees, then the total number of hours, and the total number of employees. After that you should have a breakdown of each category of employee: F1 total pay and total hours, F2 total pay and total hours…

Each department will have at least 1 employee and each department will contain the word “Department.”

Before coding your solution, take the time to design the program. What are the possible things that the file can have that you need to anticipate? What are the actions that you need to take (read the file, add up hours…)? Are those actions things that could be placed in separate functions? What about the function – can you guess some of the things that will happen? Such as, using substring to pull out part of a line in the file maybe using stoi to convert a string to an integer to add it to the total or creating variables to hold the employee type you find before passing it to another function. Finally, how are these functions called, what is the order and what information is passed to and from? 

Scoring Breakdown

25% program compiles and runs
30% program reads in and calculates the figures for output
10% the program is appropriately commented
35% outputs the correct information in a clear format 

5% bonus to those who can output the F# responses in a columned output like that shown above.

5% order the employees in the roster according to their F status, F1’s first, then F2’s and so on.
5% bonus to those who do a chart comparing the data at the end to show the relation between the pay grades and the amount of salary spent in each (they style of chart is up to you and more points may be given for more difficult charts (like a line chart):

B Department
F1 – 00000000
F2 – 000000
F3 – 00000
F4 – 000000000000 

K Department
F1 – 0

I. Instructions for your Choosing your Topic

Choose a specific technological artifact (or interconnected set of artifacts) or form of technology whose impacts, biases and political properties you can study by observing first-hand how people in the world use it. Your choice should be a primary source, some form of immediate, first-hand technology that you can observe directly. It should be original and unique, chosen from the categories below, and not be simply something like a smart phone.  

Possible topic categories include:  

· Technological Artifacts in the Built Environment: The built environment includes human-made structures, features, and facilities that encompass the environment where people live and work. Artifacts here would include things like a streetlight, a walkway, a road, a fence or barrier, a sidewalk, a piece of playground equipment, a building entrance, and a building elevator. For example, you could examine the streetlights at a specific busy corner where you live, an EV plug-in parking spot at a local supermarket, elevators in a building near you, an overpass on a specific street, or a specific floating dock at a riverside. 

· Household Items & Tools: These would include forms of technology used in a home. Included here could be things like a vacuum cleaner, a steam mop, a tool for fixing or building things, an interior or exterior lighting system, appliances, pieces of entertainment systems. Be sure to pick a specific brand and model since all vacuums, for instance, are not designed the same way. They can be items used in your own home by your family or in the home of someone you know. Make sure you have been able to observe their actual use. 

· Transportation and Infrastructure: These would include technologies people use to get around and systems that deliver specific locale services. Examples would include a specific car, truck, tractor, bus, train, airplane or a water/sewer system, a set of electrical towers, a dam, a sewage plant or system, a snowplow, a UPS truck, etc. This should be something you can see with your own eyes in its actual context where you live.  

· Technology from another Culture: This would include a technological artifact or form of technology used in a culture other than American culture or another country. Examples would include facial recognition technology in China, high-speed rail systems in Japan, precision farming technology in South Africa, the motorcycle rickshaw in India, and speaker systems on mosques in Pakistan. 

· Digital technology: This would include specific categories of computer programs, apps, platforms, or video games. Examples would be word-processing software, shopping apps, puzzle apps, Web 2.0 social media platforms, Web 1.0 multi-user platforms (usenet, text-based mmorpgs), first-person shooter video games, building video games, military training programs, MMOs of a particular genre (adventure, first person shooter, building), graphical based MMORPGs, bitmap games. 

· Workplace technology: This would include artifacts and digital technology found in the workplace. Examples would be things like staplers, copiers, labelers, mail sorters, forensic microscopes, accounting software, medical software, medical and dental tools, learning management systems, customer management software. 

II. Instructions for Creating your Video

Video Content

Once you have chosen your topic, create a 3-5 minute video. You can record your video with your smartphone, tablet or computer. You can give us a glimpse of what you will talk about, such as making your video on-site if you plan to talk about a set of streetlights or a playground, or you could edit in a photo of an artifact you plan to discuss. Be creative! 

In your video you should describe your artifact, mention why you are interested in examining it further, and include some of your thoughts about why this is an appropriate topic for a class on technology and culture. In your video, please make sure to cover the following questions, and feel free to include additional thoughts as appropriate.   

1.  

1. What are you planning to study?

2. Where is it located? If a digital form, where are its creators located?

3. Why is this technology interesting to you, personally?

4. Why is it an appropriate choice to talk about its impacts, biases or technological politics? Please see the readings and other assignments from week 3 to help you figure out how to talk about this question.  

Video Format

Your video should be about 3-5 minutes long and formatted as an MP4, MOV, or WMV. If you cannot create a video for whatever reason, please contact your instructor for an alternative way to fulfill this assignment’s requirements. 

III. Instructions for Sharing your Video

Please do not upload your video to the classroom. Instead, upload it to a cloud server (Google, OneDrive, etc.), set the permissions so that everyone with the link can see it, and cut and paste the link from your cloud server into the discussion forum.  

After you post your video, please make sure that others can access it by testing it. You can send your link to a family member or friend to see if they have access. If they don’t, then this means your professor and classmates also don’t, and you will have to adjust the settings.
