Required Sections of the Social Impact Analysis Paper
Abstract:
This section provides a brief overview of the paper. It identifies the design, product, or
concept (DPC) being analyzed. It identifies the more important ethical arguments for and
against development or deployment of the DPC. It states your position regarding whether
development or deployment of the DPC should continue.
DPC Background:
This section provide a technical description of the design/product/concept (DPC).
Explain the technology that enables the DPC. Explain generally how the DPC works. Keep the
paper balanced. It is very easy to spend the majority of the paper explaining the technology
and not enough time on the ethical issues. In this section include the following:
a) Who is responsible or accountable for creating/producing/building it?
b) What need is it intended to fill?
Stakeholders:
This section Identifies the direct and indirect stakeholders who might be impacted positively
or negatively by deployment of the DPC. Examples of direct stakeholders might be inventors,
developers, investors, corporations, stockholders, consumers. Examples of indirect
stakeholders might be competitors, individuals, cultural groups, business entities,
institutions, governmental agencies, communities, regulatory agencies, etc. These are not
exhaustive lists. Be sure to include the following:
a) What benefits for stakeholders are anticipated for this DPC
b) What drawbacks for stakeholders are anticipated for this DPC
Ethical Analysis:
This section identifies the most significant ethical issues that need to be resolved as a result
of developing or deploying the DPC. Explain why these ethical issues are the most significant.
a) Which of the three ethical theories (utilitarianism, respect for persons, virtue ethics)
do you find most useful in dealing with each of these ethical issues? Explain your
reasoning in enough detail to demonstrate critical thinking with regard to the
mechanics of the approach chosen.
b) What elements of the NSPE Code of Ethics or the Code of Ethics for your discipline
are most relevant to the development or deployment of the DPC.
Social Impact Analysis:
a) What knowledge and skills are needed to deploy or implement the DPC?
b) What interdisciplinary perspectives would help identify innovative and non-obvious
solutions to issues that might arise in deploying or implementing the DPC?
c) What insights can you articulate, based your culture and other cultures with which
you are familiar, to help understand how the DPC might enable better societal
outcomes?
Conclusion: Based on your critical analysis provide well-reasoned arguments why the
development or deployment of the DPC should or should not continue.
a) What is the most compelling argument in favor of development or deployment of the
DPC
b) What is the most compelling argument against development or deploym ...

List of References:
The references cited in your paper must conform to one of the
following style guides:
a) CSE (Council of Science Editors) - Biology - Scientific Style
and Format: The CSE
Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers
b) Chicago Manual of Style - used in the humanities and social
sciences
c) APA (American Psychological Association) - used in the
social sciences
5. d) MLA (Modern Language Association) - used in literature and
the humanities
Advice Regarding Originality:
Originality is scored by SafeAssign based on the percent of the
text in your paper that is
identical to or similar to other published work. References are
excluded. A good originality
score would be less than 15%. Zero percent would be perfect
but very unlikely as there will
always be some random text matches.
Quoting long sections of text verbatim will significantly lower
the originality score.
Paraphrasing another author’s text will tend to lower the
originality score. Writing your own
words and critical thinking increases the originality score.
Referencing another author’s ideas
that support or refute your critical thinking is neutral or positive
and adds depth to your
paper.
Using another author’s work without proper citation is
plagiarism and will result in a score of
zero on the SIA paper.

Healthy Myles Fitness Center
CREATING a table, query, form, and report GETTING
STARTED
Open the file NP_AC16_1a_FirstLastName_1.accdb, available
for download from the SAM website.
Save the file as NP_AC16_1a_FirstLastName_2.accdb by
changing the “1” to a “2”.
0. If you do not see the .accdb file extension in the Save As
dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file
extension for you automatically.
To complete this Project, you will also need to download and
save the following support file from the SAM website:
· Support_NP_AC16_1a_Equipment.accdb
Open the _GradingInfoTable table and ensure that your first and
last name is displayed as the first record in the table. If the
table does not contain your name, delete the file and download a
new copy from the SAM website.
PROJECT STEPS
You are employed at Healthy Myles Fitness Center and are in
charge of consolidating the company’s records and other
important information into a database. The owners expect that
the database will help them run the business more smoothly.
You start by setting up the basic structure of the database.
Create a new table in Datasheet View:
a. Save the table as tblClient. (Hint: Do not type the period.)
b. Change the name of the ID field in the tblClient table to
ClientID. (Hint: Do not type the period.)
c. Change the data type of the ClientID field to Short Text.
d. Create the following fields in the table, using the Short Text
data type, in the order shown: FirstName, LastName, Address,
City, State, and Zip. (Hint: Do not type the period.)
With the tblClient table still open in Datasheet View, enter the
7. records shown in Table 1 on the next page. (If necessary, resize
the Address field to best fit the data it contains.) Close the
tblClient table, saving if necessary.

You have been provided with a support file that contains a table
with additional equipment data. The tblEquipment table has the
same design as the tblGym table in the support file. Copy all the
records from the tblGym table in the file
Support_NP_AC16_1a_Equipment.accdb, available for
9. download from the SAM website, and paste them at the end of
the tblEquipment table in the current database. Close the
tblEquipment table.
Use the Simple Query Wizard to create a query based on the
tblTrainer table as described below:
h. Include the FirstName, LastName, and Specialty fields (in
that order) from the tblTrainer table in the query.
i. Name the query qrySpecialties, and then close the query.
You now want to create a simple form to allow employees to
update information on the trainers employed at Healthy Myles
Fitness Center.
j. Use the Form tool to create a simple form based on the
tblTrainer table.
k. Save the form with the name frmTrainer. (Hint: Do not type
the period.)
Switch the frmTrainer form to Form View, use the navigation
buttons to navigate to the third record (with the TrainerID field
value 454), and then change the Certification field value to
ACSM. (Hint: Do not type the period.)
With the frmTrainer form still open in Form View, navigate to
the last record (with the TrainerID field value 709) in the
frmTrainer form, and then change the Specialty field value to
Strength Training. (Hint: Do not type the period.) Navigate back
to the first record in the tblTrainer table, and then close the
form.
Use the Report tool to create a report based on the tblEquipment
table. Save the report as rptEquipmentList, then close the
report.
You decide to adjust the formatting of the rptTrainer report to
make it easier to read and to make it fit on one page.
l. Open the rptTrainer report in Layout View, and then reduce
the width of the TrainerID column so it is approximately as
wide as the text “TrainerID” in the column heading, or 0.8".
m. Select the text box that appears below the TrainerID column
(and contains the number 9) in the rptTrainer report. Then use
the mouse to resize the height of the text box slightly so that it
10. is tall enough to completely display the value it contains, or
approximately 0.27" high, as shown in Figure 1 on the next
page. Save the report.
n. Select the text box that appears below the Specialty column
and that contains the text “Page1 of 1”. Use an arrow key to
move the text box to the left so that its left edge vertically
aligns with the left edge of the Specialty column above it.
Right-align the text. View the report in Print Preview to see the
changes you made. Save and close the report.
Figure 1: rptTrainer Report
Save and close any open objects in your database. Compact and
repair your database, close it, and then exit Access. Follow the
directions on the SAM website to submit your completed
project.
