Tri-Fold Procedures Brochure (Prefer Technical Communication Major)

READ ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

GETTING STARTED: This assignment will focus on an established non-profit organization called Engineers Without Borders. This organization’s website can be found here: http://www.ewb-usa.org/. Its Principles of Development are found here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ewbgeneral/EWB-USA_Principles-of-Development.pdf. This information will be necessary to complete this Project.

SCENARIO: Assume that classmates will be serving three weeks as volunteers for Engineers Without Borders in construction, electronics, building design, or a similar rebuilding capacity in ONE of these countries: Philippines, Nicaragua, Macedonia, Togo, or Nepal. The type of project is irrelevant at this point; we will address that later. Conduct research and create a set of procedures that will prepare individuals for arriving in the country, avoiding diseases common to that area, and dealing with medical issues in that specific country (BE SURE TO IDENTIFY THE COUNTRY).

Topics under what to pack and arriving in the country include types of clothing, special toiletries for the region, extras like personal entertainment, passport or visa information, and the like. Topics under health concerns might include safe food and water, insect protection, vaccinations, medical emergency contingencies, protection from the occasional gun fire, and the like. Be sure to provide background on the specific health risks travelers will face.

YOUR TASK: Design your procedures as an attractive two-sided, three-fold brochure. Begin your research for this project by researching the country to determine what its requirements for outsiders are. Then go to the National Centers for Disease Control’s website at www.cdc.gov/travel and list procedures for being health and safe. Don’t just copy information from it and paste it into your document, though; use your own concise words.

FORMATTING: Use bulleted or numbered lists as appropriate and clip art or pictures as appropriate. Remember, you are reflecting a professional organization. The brochure will be produced by Engineers Without Borders and should indicate so somewhere in the brochure. It will be distributed to those engineers or workers traveling with the organization.

OBJECTIVES: A successful tri-fold brochure will follow the guidelines for instructions and procedures as listed on the Checklist below.

• • Contain an informative, concise title • • Display a logical organization and attractive page design. • • Display proper grammar and mechanics. • • Present material with concision, clarity, and fluency. • • Use headings effectively and arrange steps in a numbered list if appropriate • • Keep the visual (if any) and text explaining the visual close together. • • Keep the instructions simple, yet effective. Include enough information that your

reader can comply with the instructions but no so much that the reader is confused.
