Preliminary Design Documents

by | Mar 20, 2022 | Project Management

 

· Any functional blocks which were not designed in week 1 should be designed.
· The software flow charts should be completed and critical software written.
· Subsystems which can be simulated should be simulated to verify the designs. If designs do not work, changes should be made.
· Critical software should be tested to the extent possible.
Narrative of design methodology for various functions along with resulting design schematics.
· Results of simulation
· Narrative explaining the software architecture and results of tests of any coded software
· Summary of any changes to overall design, costs, schedule, or risks as a result of the preliminary design.
· Appendix A: Design calculations and circuit analysis calculations. Voltage, current, and power for all electrical components should be considered in the
analysis to make sure you don’t exceed the component’s capability. If a microcontroller is used in the project, include controller power requirements, input /
output voltage and current requirements as well as the circuit analysis involved with connecting the external devices to the microcontroller (example
specification: the programmed output port for controller X can source a maximum of 100mA of current at 5 volts Vout). The information from the
specifications will aid in determining how to connect external devices. This information will go in Appendix B of your final report.
· Appendix B: Detailed software flowchart
· Appendix C: An updated list of components. At this point, the list is just a table with three columns: Item Number (1, 2, 3, etc.), Part Descriiption (ex. 100
ohm resistor), and Quantity.
Note that the component selection document will be finalized and updated after the circuit or system is built and tested. Thus, it is expected that minor
adjustments will be made to the component values initially chosen in order to achieve the desired outputs.
Part B: Role of Physics or Other Sciences (This will also be included in your final project report as this is used for assessment of your understanding of the
scientific concepts and calculations underpinning your project.)
Write at least several paragraphs addressing in a technical and non-superficial manner:
a. the role that physics or other scientific concepts play in the operation of your project
b. how the mathematical treatment and design of your project relies on mathematics/equations associated with physics or other sciences.

 

Sample solution

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
