Prepare a report expanding on your company profile. You should provide a detailed description of the company, its history, and a description of at least one major project that it has completed or is executing. Use a consistent style, such as The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. Be sure that you cite your sources accurately and of course do not plagiarize material. Make every effort to relate the subject matter of the course to the information you present. The report should not be longer than 15 pages, not counting appendices, but you have some flexibility here. Format will be discussed in class, and feel free to discuss it with the instructor and TA. This is NOT an advertisement for the company, it is a critical analysis. If your research is entirely based on the company’s web site, it will invariably be shallow, trivial, and not score too well. Grading will be based as follows:

 

 

· Description of company –25 percent

· Description of project –25 percent

· Relevance, relation to class subject matter –25 percent

· Professionalism, presentation, analysis –25 percent

 

Produce an Adobe Acrobat (pdf) version of your final report, which is to be submitted by Canvas on the due date. NOTE: Many companies will not fit the traditional form of a construction firm. That is fine, but do try to relate the company to the construction industry and the subject matter of the class. If you have questions about the suitability of a company for the assignment, discuss it with the instructor and TA well in advance of the due date.
