Description

Analytical essay:Case Study

Instructions:Choose one of the prompts below to address in a three-page analytical essay.Use what you have learned in EGEN 310 as the “lens” through which you examine the case.Links in the case study table take you to web pages providing some introductory information about each case (you may also propose one of your own but be sure to vet it with an instructor).You MUST learn more about your chosen case study by examining at least two more references.Essays should be double spaced with 1 inch margins and use Calibri 11 point font.

EGEN310 Learning Objectives captured in this assignment:In EGEN310 you are learning how to approach an open-ended problem using the design process, you are learning the value of tracking project progress against a plan, and you are navigating multidisciplinary team dynamics in your effort to create a successful prototype for the Cat’s Conundrum competition.It is now time to turn this lens outward and examine how other teams, companies and industries do these things.You will select a case study to examine paying particular attention to how engineering design, project management or teaming decisions resulted in broader implications for business, society and/or the environment.

Teaming Expectations:Analytical essays are to be completed individually.See course schedule for the due date for a hard copy of your first draft, which will be peer edited in class.

Theory:Writing analytically

A well written analytical essay contains more than just a summary of events or ideas.You need analyze them from an educated perspective.Use good essay writing technique, with an introductory paragraph and a strong thesis statement, supporting body paragraphs and a conclusion (this page: https://www.kibin.com/essay-writing-blog/analytical-essay-outline/ has a great outline and gives good tips – we will be editing essays in class so do not pay for their editing services, or any other essay site’s services, when you can sharpen your own skills and have your paper edited in class).

In this particular essay, your thesis statement should zoom in on how decisions made impacted business, society, and/or the environment.The rest of your essay should analyze the case study (using at least three references) and cite specific decision points and outcomes that support your thesis statement.Do NOT simply relate the timeline of the event; instead relate those events to specific outcomes that had lasting a lasting impact.You should conclude with thoughts on whether or not decisions made were appropriate and why (you may want to reference professional codes of ethics to support your position).

early 1960s. The aircraft started as one European entity, but due to its complexity, all European
nations integrated to have it as their common aerospace in order to complete with the USA-based
Boeing Commercial Aircraft. The aircraft was of great success until 2001 when they introduced
the Airbus A380 project (Calleam Consulting Ltd, n.d.). The Airbus A380 project was aimed at
being completed with great success, but in one way or the other, the Airbus has announced that
the A380 production program is to be would up. This comes up after they realized that the project
was going to be too expensive compared to the initial budget. The project was aimed at
manufacturing the biggest aircraft in the world but failed. From this, the discussion below is an
analysis of the case study by focusing on the factors that lead to project failure and its implications
for business.
To start with, as it is indicated in the case study, Airbus aircraft is the highly complicated
aircraft operating today. The engineers who designed the aircraft mad...
