The video is titled Sales Education – How to Build Customer Trust . After watching the video and reflecting on the discussions of Trust in the OMSP book, write a reflection that shows your understanding of the key elements of trust, the critical importance, and finally how you earn it. Then share a story of how you have earned someone’s trust and how you both benefited from it.

Your reflection post should be a minimum of four paragraphs, single-spaced.

1. Create a table in Excel with the latitude (y), longitude (x), and elevation (z) values of the 3
known points and the unknown point that were obtained from the GPS. Label the table as
appropriate and be sure to include units.
2. Convert the longitude and latitude values from Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS) to Decimal
Degrees (DD) in Excel (using a formula). Display 8 decimal places.
3. Create an input file to import the GPS data into ArcGIS:
a. Open Notepad (type Notepad in the search field next to the Windows button to find
the application)
b. Type the word SITE_ID and press Tab; type the word Latitude and press Tab; type
the word Longitude and press Tab; type the word Elevation and press Enter
c. Type a description for the first SITE_ID (e.g., Point1) and press Tab
d. Type latitude value (in DD) for Point 1 with 8 decimal places and press Tab
e. Type longitude value (in DD) for Point 1 with 8 decimal places and press Tab
f. Type elevation value (in feet) for Point 1 with no decimal places and press Enter
g. Repeat steps c-f for the remaining points (4 total)
h. Take care not to put any extraneous keystrokes in your Notepad file (e.g., spaces,
tabs, enters, extra text). The columns will not necessarily line up!
i. Save As “GPSpoints.txt” in your Lab4 folder and close Notepad
4. Add the GPS coordinate file that you just created to ArcMap.
a. In order to see your points on the map, you must select Display XY Data.
▪ Specify the fields for the X, Y, and Z coordinates
▪ The Coordinate System of Input Coordinates is: GCS_WGS_1984 (because
it is GPS data). If this is not the coordinate system specified in the “Display
XY Data” window, you must press edit and select the correct coordinate
system (Geographic Coordinate Systems  World  WGS 1984).

b. You may wish to change the size/shape/color of your symbols so that the points are
easier to see.
c. Create a screen capture (PrtScr) showing the four GPS points displayed on the
campus map with your filename visible at the top of the image. Paste the image in
your Excel file.

• Discuss the kinds of data needed for such a system (attributes), and the data types of these attributes.

• Create a PowerPoint presentation to explain how you would design the database system, focusing on the tables you will create in this database, the attributes of each table, and the primary keys of each table to address the requirements of the store owners.

• Please discuss how you will use entity integrity and referential integrity

To introduce aviation/aeronautics/aerospace students to wind tunnel(s) and methods
used in experimental identification of various aerodynamic (and stability) coefficients of airfoils
(2D), wings (3D) and scale models. To understand the value and purpose of wind-tunnel and
experimental identification (measurement) of lift, drag, sideforce, and aerodynamic moments
(pitching, rolling, yawing). To review the basic aerodynamic theory and knowledge of wings and
airfoils presented in classroom. To apply and correlate knowledge acquired in the lab to better
understanding of fixed- and rotary-wing flight control, stability and performance. To practice unit
conversions (from SI to English engineering and vice versa). To perform visualization study of the
boundary layer separation and stall patterns at higher AOAs. To visualize wingtip vortices when
3D (finite wing) airfoil is installed.

1. Those with access to an actual project
The initial decision will be the selection of the service to be studied. Make sure you have approval from
those managing the project to undertake the study. It will necessitate access to specification(s), plans,
scheduling details (lead times for ordering and sequence on site), on-site photos (if installed and potentially
during installation) and if possible, commentary from the Service Engineer and the Site Manager and
installation team members.
As an example, if you were to select the electrical main switchboard on your project for your study, it
would be expected that the specification would be detailed (including the manufacturer); the location on site
would be discussed (including the physical area in m2 of the room in which it was located); how long the
lead-time for manufacture and delivery and any particular idiosyncrasies regarding delivery and placement
(such as specialist craning etc); photographic and diagrammatic references included as appropriate.
Commentary from personnel involved will be expected. In so doing, aspects of the installation that might be
deemed acceptable (or possibly unacceptable) would be stated and recommendations for future
installations established. In this regard, whilst the present design and arrangements might suffice, it may be
recommended that greater space be provided in the room; or better egress provided; or differing
arrangement of cable delivery into or out of the room etc. etc. be established in your report.

2. Those using reference to research and/or manufacturers’ literature and recommendations
You will start by undertaking a broad investigation into new or revised services systems that are under
investigation or newly introduced into building and construction. If we look at (say) electrical services as
an example, it might be that you would be interested in alternative ways to provide base-load power to a
project. We presently rely on coal fire power in NSW which is distributed from source of generation in The
Hunter Valley, via high voltage cabling and transformed to lower voltage for our buildings and facilities. You
may be inclined to look at the alternatives such as the various generating systems that are property or
estate based. Cogeneration and trigeneration plants come to mind and it would be appropriate for a study on the offerings available at present and the future technologies that are being investigated and
trialled. It would be expected that the specifics of the system would be detailed (including the manufacturer);
how it would be located (or co-located) on site (including the physical area in m2 of the location); how long
the lead-time for manufacture and delivery and any particular idiosyncrasies regarding delivery and
placement (such as specialist craning etc). Your photographic and diagrammatic references would come
from the literature or the manufacturer including appropriate referencing. Commentary would hopefully
include recommendations as to the benefits of the system and this would include immediate and the longerterm (life-cycle) benefits.

We do not put value on the depletion of natural resources. The cost of depleting natural resources is external to the firm and hence to the economy and GDP. Watch the TED Talk in which Pavan Sukhdev encourages us to put a value on nature.
