The objective of this assignment is to develop an understanding and appreciation for the complexity of the engineering design process, and to experience the thinking processes required by the reverse engineering design process.  Reverse Engineering Design is the practice of analyzing a product to gain an understanding of how the product was originally produced with an eye to finding new and more efficient ways of production. The Engineering Design process entails “Synthesis” (combining various elements into an integrated whole), and “Analysis” (using mathematics, science, and engineering techniques to quantify the performance of various options). It also entails “Communication” (writing, drawing, and oral presentations), and “Implementation” (actually executing the design). The design process as it is applied to engineering then is the systematic, intelligent generation and evaluation of specifications for artifacts (products) whose form and function achieve stated objectives and satisfy specified constraints.

 

Procedure:

 

This assignment can be accomplished by a group (no more than 3) of students turning in a single set of documents (the content should reflect a group effort). Select a manufactured product that can easily be disassembled. The product will be carefully disassembled into sub-assemblies (unit systems) and finally into individual parts. By the end of the week of the reverse engineering exercise, the student/group will have developed:

 

1. An annotated/illustrated/numbered parts list.  The illustrations will be isometric sketches showing each part of a sub-assembly.

2. A written description of the function of the sub-assembly depicted above.

 

3. A complete parts list using format attached.

 

Reverse Engineering Design Stages:

 

Stage 1: Evaluation and Verification

 

1. For non-destructive disassembly, you will have to find a way to measure the parts inside the device to determine size, shape, and material.

 

2. To be able to remove the parts inside the device(destructive disassembly), screws, offsets, and switches will need to be removed. It is not necessary that the device function at the end of this exercise.

 

Stage 2: Technical Data Generation

 

3. Each part will be given a name related to its function, i.e. Integrated Circuit, switch, power supply, sensor, etc.  These names will be used on the parts list.

 

4. Divide the parts into three groups. Try to make these parts groups roughly equally complex, and closely related.

 

5. Each member of thegroup will select, either by choice or random drawing, a parts group to illustrate.

 

Stage 3: Design Verification

 

6. Each person will create anIsometric sketch of his or her parts with a ghost of the connecting parts – in exploded relation. The sketch will show the parts in proportion with dimensions. The sketched parts will be named and numbered to match the following parts list. Each drawing will also be numbered. There may be more than one part on each drawing.

 

7. Each group will create a parts list of the entire device. The list will include the part name, part number, drawing number, material, size, and cost.

 

8. Each group will write a one-paragraph description of the operation of the device using the part names and numbers listed in the parts list and on each drawing.

 

Stage 4 – Design Implementation

THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETED INDIVIDUALLY (OR A GROUP) AS ASSIGNED BY YOUR PROFESSOR) BY THE STUDENT.

I           SITUATION:

OBJECTIVE

The specific objective of this graded written research exercise is to prepare an “executive level financial report” to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a mythical company in which you are employed as a financial analyst.  This report will pertain to the financial evaluation of a real, publicly-traded, company. It will require independent research (web-based or library), careful financial analysis, and the proper application of key financial theories and formulas.

The company that is to be analyzed for this project is (company selected by instructor).

Alternatively, you can request me to approve another publicly traded company. This request must be submitted before the end of the first week of the course. The request must include

a.         identification of the company by ticker symbol and name

b.         a reasonable and appropriate explanation of why you want to examine the alternative company

c.         the source of the analyst’s report that will be used in the analysis (which must be submitted to me)

d.         acknowledgement by you that all of the specific elements of the assignment (see below) will be prepared by you and included in the final research project report

 

SITUATION

You are a financial analyst with the mythical High Technology Corporation (“HTC”). HTC is an established manufacturer of a line of electronic components, which services an international market. HTC is currently a new fully-integrated wireless communication service for world-wide use.  A competitive technical and economic product evaluation has determined that THE COMPANY THAT IS TO BE ANALYZED FOR THIS PROJECT (COMPANY SELECTED BY INSTRUCTOR) (a real publicly-traded company) is the best potential candidate for a long-term commitment.  THE COMPANY (COMPANY SELECTED BY INSTRUCTOR) is offering a competitively favorable deal.  However, based on some serious general concerns about the fallout of companies in the industry in general, the CEO has asked your CFO to conduct a financial analysis of THE COMPANY (COMPANY SELECTED BY INSTRUCTOR) to determine if it is prudent to commit to this company’s communication system.  The cost of cutting over to the new communications system is significant and any interruption in support during the next few years would adversely affect HTC’s performance and profit. Specifically, the question is: will THE COMPANY be financially viable over the next two to three years?

 

YOUR SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT

Your specific assignment is to research, analyze, and prepare a report for the CFO on the actual financial performance of THE COMPANY THAT IS TO BE ANALYZED FOR THIS PROJECT (COMPANY SELECTED BY INSTRUCTOR).  In addition to reviewing the traditional financial performance indicators, you are also to review THE COMPANY’S past and current stock performance. Your report includes three parts:

(1)        An evaluation of THE COMPANY’S financial performance for the last year. DuPont analysis and analysis of significant financial performance results are required for the last three years. (See detailed description below)

(2)        An evaluation of THE COMPANY’S stock performance for the last one year.

(3)        Finally, a specific recommendation, with supporting rationale, as to whether or not THE COMPANY’S recent trend in financial and stock performance is of sufficient financial strength to warrant entering into a long-term commitment.

To assist you in your task, the CFO has provided the following general guidance. Since it is recognized that the industry is undergoing a major contraction, it is very important to comparatively evaluate THE COMPANY’S financial and stock performance trends against its Industry.

You may wish to include all necessary and relevant financial performance and stock information, trends, and projections in supporting your recommendation. These factors may include, financial ratio trends and industry comparatives, capital spending, stock growth, Beta values, credit rating service valuations, bond rating valuations, and management and investment reports – when these documents are available.

Due Week 9 and worth 300 points
You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey, Chetum, and Howe. John, a former researcher at PharmaCARE, comes to your office. He has concerns about PharmaCARE’s use of AD23, one of the company’s top-selling diabetes drugs. Two (2) years ago, after PharmaCARE’s research indicated that AD23 might also slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, John and his team of pharmacists began reformulating the drug to maximize that effect. In order to avoid the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) scrutiny, PharmaCARE established a wholly-owned subsidiary, CompCARE, to operate as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new formulation to individuals on a prescription basis. CompCARE established itself in a suburban office park near its parent’s headquarters. To conserve money and time, CompCARE did a quick, low-cost renovation.
CompCARE benefited from PharmaCARE’s reputation, databases, networks, and sales and marketing expertise, and within six (6) months had the medical community buzzing about AD23. Demand soared, particularly among Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs patients. Seeing the opportunity to realize even more profit, CompCARE began advertising AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals, clinics, and physician offices, even though compounding pharmacies are not permitted to sell drugs in bulk for general use. To circumvent this technicality, CompCARE encouraged doctors to fax lists of fictitious patient names to CompCARE. PharmaCARE sold CompCARE to WellCo, a large drugstore chain, just weeks before AD23 was publicly linked to over 200 cardiac deaths.
As CompCARE and its new parent company enjoyed record profits and PharmaCARE’s stock price approached $300 per share, reports started surfacing that people who received AD23 seemed to be suffering heart attacks at an alarming rate. The company ignored this data and continued filling large orders and paying huge bonuses to all the executives and managers, including John, whose wife recently died from a heart attack after using AD23.
John has come to you with an internal company memo describing the potential problems with AD23, and information describing the company’s willingness “roll the dice” and continue to market the drug.
Your senior partner has asked you to write a memo outlining the following issues for review by the senior partners.
In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research examples of intellectual property theft that occurred within the past two (2) years.
Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:
Research three to five (3-5) ethical issues relating to marketing and advertising, intellectual property, and regulation of product safety and examine whether PharmaCARE violated any of the issues in question.
Argue for or against Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing by drug companies. Provide support for your response.
Determine the parties responsible for regulating compounding pharmacies under the current regulatory scheme, the actions that either these parties or the FDA could / should have taken in this scenario, and whether PharmaCARE could face legal exposure surrounding its practices. Support your response.
Analyze the manner in which PharmaCARE used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property and if John has any claim to being the true “inventor” of AD23. Suggest at least three (3) ways the company could compensate John for the use of his intellectual property.
Summarize at least one (1) current example (within the past two [2] years) of intellectual property theft, and examine the effect on that company’s brand.
Analyze the potential issue surrounding the death of John’s wife and other potential litigants against PharmaCARE as a result of AD23.
Specify both the major arguments that John can make to claim that he is a whistleblower and the type of protections that he should be afforded. Justify your response.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Analyze and assess legal and ethical restraints on marketing and advertising, relative to both consumers and organizations.
