Assignment 1: Applying to Graduate School

In the first two modules, you explored your career options and identified available positions related to your interests. You also determined which of these positions requires a master’s or a doctoral degree. For this assignment, research graduate school programs for the selected career using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

For this assignment, you will need to complete the following:

• Select one of the careers that require graduate-level degrees.
• Identify at least three graduate school programs you would consider attending. For example, if you hope to become a licensed professional counselor (LPC), you would first need to earn a master’s degree at the very least. You would want to research programs that provide master’s degrees in counseling. Include research on whether you would fulfill the requirements for licensure in your state of residence if you completed those specific programs. Cover the following:
• Indicate which license you would seek and which programs would or would not prepare you to be eligible for licensure.
• If you want to become licensed, ensure that these programs meet your state’s requirements for licensure. For example, if you wish to become an LPC, you would have to review the American Association of State Counseling Boards and locate your state’s licensing board website address.
• For each of the three graduate school programs, research and discuss the institution’s accreditation. Is it nationally or regionally accredited? Most state licensing boards require the higher-level of those two options, which is regional accreditation.
• You might want to review the US Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs to determine whether the school is regionally accredited.
• Most states also require a specialized accreditation for licensure as an LPC or a psychologist. For counseling licenses, most states honor programs that have the CACREP designation. For psychology licenses, APA accreditation is usually required. Click here to find programs with the CACREP designation.
• Discuss any concerns you may have about applying to or attending graduate school. List any questions you have about the application or licensure process.
• Provide at least two authoritative references or sources for the information you have discussed. One of these can be the textbook.

Submission Details:

• Write your initial response in a minimum of 300–400 words. Apply APA standards to cite sources.
• By Saturday, April 11, 2015, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, April 15, 2015, review and comment on at least two classmates’ responses. Provide a statement of clarification or a point of view with a rationale, challenge a point of the discussion, or draw a relationship between two or more points of the discussion.

Discussion Grading Criteria and Rubric

All discussion assignments in this course will be graded using a rubric. This assignment is worth 40 points. Download the discussion rubric and carefully read it to understand the expectations.

Write a one page paper based on the information and examples given below and other research on the Rule of 10’s and 3’s.

 Information:

Rule of 10s and 3s, Example 4

In this example, you have an access point that is providing coverage to a specific area of a warehouse via an external directional antenna. The access point is transmitting at 30 mW. The cable and connector between the access point and the antenna creates –3 dB of signal loss. The antenna provides 20 dBi of signal gain. In this example, you will calculate the IR and EIRP values.

It is not always possible to calculate both sides of the chart by using the rule of 10s and 3s. In some cases, no matter what you do, you cannot calculate the mW value by using 10 or 2. This is one of those cases. You cannot set the mW and dBm values to be equal, but you can still calculate the mW values by using the information provided.

1. Instead of creating the template and setting 0 dBm equal to 1 mW, enter the value of the transmitter, in this case 30 mW.
2. In the dBm column, just enter unknown.

   Even though you will not know the dBm value, you can still perform all of the necessary mathematics.

   

3. The cable and connectors introduce 3 dB of loss, so subtract 3 from the dBm column and divide the mW column by 2. So the output of the IR is 15 mW.
4. The 20 dBi gain from the antenna increases the dBm by 20, so add 10 twice to the dBm column, and multiply the mW column by 10 twice. So the output of the EIRP is 1,500 mW. You can see in the graphic that the 20 dB gain by the antenna and the –3 dB of loss from the cable results in a 17 dB gain from the original dBm. Even though you do not know what the original dBm value is, you can see that it is 17 dB greater.

RF Math Summary

Many concepts, formulas, and examples were covered in the RF mathematics section, so we will bring things together and summarize what was covered. It is important to remember that the bottom line is that you are trying to calculate the power at different points in the RF system and the effects caused by gain or loss. If you want to perform the RF math calculations by using the logarithmic formulas, here they are:

If you want to use the rule of 10s and 3s, just remember these four simple tasks and you won’t have a problem:

• 3 dB gain = mW × 2
• 3 dB loss = mW ÷ 2
• 10 dB gain = mW × 10
• 10 dB loss = mW ÷ 10

Table 3.2 provides a quick reference guide comparing the absolute power measurements of milliwatts to the absolute power dBm values.

Your boss has just come to you and told you that your company is now going in the direction of lean manufacturing so they can cut down on waste in the production process. Hearing this news, you realize you need to research lean manufacturing to determine what your company is doing.

• What is lean manufacturing? Provide examples of companies using lean manufacturing and how it benefits them.
• What are the requirements for balancing JIT (just in time) and lean systems?
• Are any employees affected if a company decides to switch to a lean system? If so which ones and why?
• Is lean manufacturing a push or pull system? Explain.
