An organizational structure is a system that outlines how certain activities are directed in
order to achieve the goals of an organization. These activities can include rules, roles, and
responsibilities. The organizational structure also determines how information flows between
levels within the company. Organizational structure is shown in an organizational chart.
The type of organizational chart shown above is a flat organizational chart. This type of
chart is an organizational structure with few or no levels of middle management between staff or
employees and executives or leaders.
BK International Inc. (BK) is Guyana’s largest privately owned construction company and
was registered in 1993. It is the successor entity to B & K Transportation and Construction
services which started operations ten years earlier.

From modest origins as a small importer, distributor, and retailer of food products in
1937, Edward B. Beharry & Co. Ltd. has grown into a sizable conglomerate that offers
manufacturing, marketing, financial services, car dealerships, and, most recently, fast food. In
many of the items it markets, the company leads the market and currently holds a sizable market
share. Additionally, the Caribbean community in North America, as well as those in the United
Kingdom and South America, are well aware of its products. Since then, the company has
established distribution offices in Trinidad and Suriname, and it is currently looking at opening
additional locations throughout the Caribbean.
The purpose of this flat organisational chart is to have as little hierarchy as possible. This
makes decision making and project approvals faster and allows employees to see their immediate
supervisors and who they need to report to.
SAFETY RULES
1. Always turn off the mains when working on electrical receptacles. It is also a good idea to
put up a sign on the service panel so that nobody turns the main switch ON by accident.
2. Avoid water at all times when working with electricity. Never Touch or try repairing any
electrical equipment or circuits with wet hands. It increases conductivity of the electric
current.
3. Electrical hazards include exposed and unguarded electrical parts and equipment which
may suddenly be energised. Such equipment always carries warning signs like “Shock
Risk”. Always be observant of such signs and follow the safety rules.
4. Always use appropriate safety gears (safety boots, rubber gloves, goggles) and insulated
tools and equipment while working on any electrical circuit.
5. Never try repairing energised equipment. Always ensure that it is de-energised first by
using a tester before proceeding with your work.
6. Never use an aluminium or steel ladder when working on electrical equipment at a height.
This makes you the perfect conductor for an electrical surge to pass through.
Always use a bamboo, wooden or fibreglass ladder instead.
- BURNS
2. - Protect Burn
Cover with sterile, non-adhesive bandage or clean cloth. Do not apply butter, oil, lotions
or creams (especially if they contain fragrance). Apply a petroleum-based ointment two or
three times per day.
3. - Treat Pain
Give over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Panadol, Tylenol), ibuprofen
(Advil, Motrin, Nuprin), or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn).
Do not try to separate the person from the current if you feel a tingling sensation in your
legs and lower body. Hop on one foot to a safe place where you can wait for the lines to be
disconnected.
If a power line falls on a car, instruct the passengers to stay inside unless an explosion or fire
threatens.
2.
Do CPR, if necessary.
When you can safely touch the person, do CPR if the person is not breathing or does not
have a pulse.
3.
If bleeding occurs, apply pressure and elevate the wound if it’s on a limb. There may be a fracture
if the shock caused the person to fall.
Wait for medical help to arrive.
4.
5.
Follow up.
A doctor will check the person for burns, fractures and other injuries. A blood or urine tests,
CT scan or MRI may be necessary. The person may be admitted to the hospital.
- EYE INJURIES
- Immediately wash out the eye with lots of water. Use whatever water source is closest.
Get medical help while or after doing this.

Design principles are guidelines, biases and design considerations that designers apply
with discretion. Professionals from many disciplines provided the foundation for design
principles via their accumulated knowledge and experience.
1. Balance – This refers to how the elements within a composition are arranged either
symmetrically, asymmetrically, or radially to create the impression of equality in weight or
importance.
2. Scale – This affects how something is balanced. The phrase “Bigger is always better” is not
always the case in design. Sometimes tiny elements can call attention just as effectively as
something large. It’s the message you’re trying to convey with the design.
3. Contrast – Lack of contrast, or the arrangement of opposite elements, can discourage readers
or even give them eye pain. Red and yellow are not far enough from each other on the colour
wheel to be distinguishable enough to the eye, so the colours conflict with each other and the
result is a literal headache.
4. Pattern – This is the repetition of specific visual elements such as a single unit or multitude of
forms. Patterns can be used to create balance, organize surfaces in a consistent manner, or create
contrast.
5. Movement and Rhythm - Movement is how the eye moves throughout the composition;
leading the attention from one aspect to another. This can be achieved by using repeating or
alternating elements or patterns. How often something repeats and the intensity of its contrast
creates rhythm.
7. Unity – The way elements are arranged so that the image is seen as a whole and overall,
creates a visually compelling composition is called unity.
Design Elements
Elements of design are the fundamental parts or aspects used to compose any work of design.
1. Color: This helps establish a mood for your composition. When light waves strike an object
and reflect back to the optic nerve in a human’s eyes, the sensation they perceive is called color.
Artists and designers use color to depict and describe the subject. Color is used by designers to
portray mood, light, depth, and point of view.
2. Line: Line refers to the way that two points in space are connected. Whether they’re
horizontal lines, diagonal lines, or vertical lines, lines can help direct the eye toward a certain
point in your composition. You can also create texture by incorporating different types of lines
such as curved or patterned lines instead of just straight lines.
3. Value: In design, value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. The values of a color are
often visualized in a gradient, which displays a series of variations on one hue, arranged from the
lightest to the darkest. Artists can use the various values of color to create the illusion of mass
and volume in their work.
4. Space: Making proper use of space can help others view your design as you intended. White
space or negative space is the space between or around the focal point of an image. Positive
space is the space that your subject matter takes up in your composition. The spacing of your
design is important because a layout that’s too crowded can overwhelm the viewer’s eye.
5. Shape: In its most basic form, a shape is a two-dimensional area that is surrounded by an
outline. Graphic artists can use other elements including line, color, value, and shadow to give a
shape the appearance of a three- dimensional shape. There are three types of shapes: organic
shapes which occur naturally in the world, geometric shapes which are angular and
mathematically consistent, and abstract shapes that represent things in nature but aren’t perfectly
representative.
6. Form: Form pertains to the way that a shape or physical configuration occupies space.
Instead of creating form through three-dimensional physical shape, designers create the
appearance of form on a flat surface by using light, shadow, the appearance of an object’s
contours, negative space, and the surrounding objects around the subject matter.
7. Texture: Texture is one of the elements of design that is used to represent how an object
appears or feels. Tactile texture is a physical sense of touch, whether it’s rough, smooth, or
ribbed. Visual texture, on the other hand, refers to the imagined feel of the illustrated texture,
which can create more visual interest and a heightened sensory experience.
Design Process
Design process is a way of figuring out what you need to do, then doing it. Along the way you
might solve one or more problems, trying to achieve a goal, and/or creating something specific.
Design process helps designers to be reliable and creative without depending upon inspiration.
Design process provides checks to ensure creative concepts don’t steer off course.
Design of an A/C system:
- Air conditioning unit parts are formed from either plastic or metal. Metal sheets
are pounded and shaped to create the chassis of your unit. Other parts use
galvanized steel, which makes these parts less prone to rust and deterioration. The
relevant parts are also powder-coated.
- Once all the parts are completed and in the assembly factory, the unit is ready to
come together. An air conditioner is made up of a condenser, an inside
compressor, an outside compressor, copper pipes, a fan, and controls. Once these
are all available, the unit is assembled. First the condenser and inside compressor,
then the copper wires that connect them to the fan and outside compressor. All of
this is then connected to a motor. Lastly, the motor is linked to the plastic control
parts. Once everything is assembled, it’s only then that the coolant is injected into
the unit. The manufacturer then thoroughly tests the unit for leaks and the right
pressure. Only when it passes rigorous tests is it sent out for distribution and
purchase.
- Now, more than a century later, the air conditioner ranks as one of the most
important modern inventions in history, allowing for climate control of homes and
businesses. As the heat and humidity of climate change beat down on us, it's
hard to imagine a world without it.
An air conditioner provides cold air inside your home or enclosed space by actually
removing heat and humidity from the indoor air. It returns the cooled air to the indoor space, and
transfers the unwanted heat and humidity outside.
Homeowners on average pay between $5,000 and $9,000 for a central air conditioner unit
installation. The main factors that will affect the cost of your AC unit include home’s square
footage, desired brand, and the SEER rating you choose.

A voltage divider is an electric circuit that splits a voltage into proportional parts. It consists
of two or more resistors connected in series, and the voltage is divided between them based on
the resistance values. The output voltage of the divider can be calculated using Ohm's law and is
useful in various applications such as setting reference voltage levels, measuring potential
differences, and reducing the amplitude of high voltage signals.
The operation of a voltage divider is based on Ohm's law, which states that the voltage
across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it, given by V = IR, where V is the
voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. In a voltage divider circuit, the input voltage is
applied across the two resistors, and the current flowing through them can be calculated using
Ohm's law. The voltage across each resistor can then be determined by multiplying the current by
the resistance of the resistor.
The output voltage of the divider can be taken from the node between the two resistors
and is equal to the voltage across the second resistor multiplied by the ratio of the resistance of
the second resistor to the sum of the resistance of both resistors. This output voltage is useful in
various applications such as setting reference voltage levels, measuring potential differences, and
reducing the amplitude of high voltage signals.
1. The circuit should be disconnected from the power source before making any changes.
2. The wires should be properly connected to avoid any short-circuiting.
3. The resistors should be of the correct values and wattage ratings to avoid damages.
4. The potentiometer should be adjusted slowly to avoid sudden changes in the circuit.
5. The multi-meter should be set to the correct range before taking any measurements.
Component Functions:
In the voltage divider circuit, the resistors are connected in series, and the voltage is divided
between them based on their resistance values. The output voltage can be calculated using Ohm's
law, which relates voltage, current, and resistance. The potentiometer is used to vary the voltage
in the circuit, while the fixed resistor limits the current. The LEDs light up when current flows
through them, indicating that the circuit is working.

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional
to the voltage across the two points, given a constant temperature and pressure. This can be
expressed mathematically as: V=IxR where V is the voltage across the
conductor, I is the current passing through the conductor, and R is the resistance of the conductor.
To verify Ohm's law, the data recorded was used to calculate the resistance of the fixed resistor
using the formula R = V/I, and then a graph of V against I was plotted.
R1 = 2.50/0.108 = 23.15 Ω
R2 = 3.22/0.147 = 21.89 Ω
R3 = 3.21/0.221 = 14.51 Ω
R4 = 3.35/0.224 = 14.96 Ω
R5 = 4.16/0.323 = 12.88 Ω
R6 = 4.71/0.396 = 11.87 Ω
R7 = 5.27/0.622 = 8.46 Ω
R8 = 6.26/1.945 = 3.22 Ω
I vs V
The graph shows a straight line, which indicates that there is a linear relationship between
voltage and current, confirming Ohm's law.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a voltage divider circuit was successfully designed and its electrical
components were effectively installed. The DC current, voltage and resistance of the circuit were
successfully measured.

Topic: DC Motor
Schematic diagram
Steps of Procedures
A simple DC motor consists of a stationary set of magnets in the stator and a coil of wire
with a current running through it, known as the armature, to generate an electromagnetic field
that is aligned with the center of the coil. The commutator, a rotating switch, allows each
armature coil to be energized in turn, creating a steady rotating force known as torque.
To make a small DC motor, the researcher first set up a circuit board, then created a coil
using copper wire and the circuit board. The researcher then set up a support for the coil using
paper clips and screws, and set up a battery and switch using a battery snap and solder. The
researcher then placed a magnet near the coil and tested the circuit using a multi-meter.
Observations
Both during and after the construction and testing of the DC motor, the following observations
were made:
• The voltage was 7.30 Volts at the opened circuit, which indicates that the circuit was
properly connected and the battery was working as expected.
• The voltage was 3.84 Volts at the closed circuit, indicating that the circuit was properly
closed and the motor was working.
• The coil had to be placed very close to the magnet for proper operation. This is because
the interaction between the magnetic field and the current-carrying conductor is strongest
when the conductor is close to the magnet.
• The coil had to be placed at the center for proper operation. This is because the
electromagnetic field generated by the coil needs to be aligned with the center of the
magnet in order to create a steady rotating force.
• The coil had a resistance of 3.7 Ohms, which is an important parameter to consider when
designing and testing a DC motor.
• The coil had to be balanced before it could be operated properly. This is because an
unbalanced coil can create uneven torque and cause the motor to vibrate or not rotate at
all.
• The coil had to be helped before it started to be in operation. This may be due to the coil's
small size, which may require additional force to start the motor.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the researcher was able to effectively install the apparatus and accurately
record and document the readings. As a result, the project was a success. The simple DC motor
was able to demonstrate the fundamental principles of DC motor operation, and the observations
made during the testing phase provided valuable insights into the challenges and limitations of
building small DC motors.
OBJECTIVES:

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
OBSERVATIONS
Upon completing the electrical installation, several observations were made. Firstly, all
four fluorescent bulbs lit up when the first switch was turned on. Secondly, when the second
switch was activated, all four bulbs were illuminated. Lastly, turning on the third switch caused
all the bulbs to light up. These observations demonstrate that the circuit was successfully
constructed and all the components were working properly.
CONCLUSION
From this installation, it was learned that intermediate switches are typically utilized in
large rooms and halls where various lamps require control from different positions. Additionally,
in a multi-story building, an intermediate switch circuit allows for the control of a lamp on the
ground floor from any floor. It is important to adhere to the relevant codes and regulations when
undertaking any electrical installation to ensure safety and proper functioning of the circuit.
Overall, students were able to identify the circuit components, construct a circuit for controlling
different lighting loads, distinguish between various controls and their operation, and follow
codes and regulations for the specific installation being done.

Operations
The closed circuit burglar alarm system is designed to detect unauthorized entry into a
specific area by using a laser and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) to trigger the alarm. The laser
beam is directed at the LDR, which is placed at a specific point in the area being protected. When
the laser beam is interrupted, the resistance of the LDR increases, which triggers the alarm. The
alarm is activated by the circuit board, which is powered by a battery.
The circuit board is the heart of the system, and it consists of several electronic
components, including a transistor, a fixed resistor, a siren, and a switch. The transistor acts as a
switch that allows current to flow through the siren when the laser beam is interrupted. The fixed
resistor helps to regulate the current flowing through the circuit. The siren produces a loud noise
when the alarm is triggered, and the switch is used to turn the system on or off.
To set up the system, the various components are connected to the circuit board using
copper wires and soldering. The circuit board is then connected to a battery using a battery snap,
and the entire system is mounted at the protected area. Once the system is turned on, it is ready to
detect any unauthorized entry.
The closed-circuit burglar alarm system can be used in various settings, such as homes,
offices, stores, and other facilities that require security against unauthorized access. It is a
costeffective way to protect property and valuables, and it provides an audible warning when
someone attempts to enter an area without authorization. The system can also be used in
conjunction with other security measures such as cameras, motion detectors, and access control
systems to provide comprehensive security.
Observations
After constructing the electronics project, several observations were made. Firstly, it was
noted that the alarm was triggered when the laser light was disturbed, indicating that the system
was functioning as intended. Secondly, it was observed that the laser light needed to be placed in
front of the light dependent resistor (LDR) for the system to be operational. This is because the
LDR is designed to detect changes in light intensity and is sensitive to the laser light. Thirdly, it
was observed that the laser had to be turned on before the system could be activated. This is
because the laser beam needs to be present for the LDR to detect any changes in light intensity
and trigger the alarm.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it can be stated that the circuit was successfully developed, and all the
components were installed effectively. The observations made during the testing process
confirmed that the system was able to detect unauthorized entry and trigger the alarm. The closed
circuit burglar alarm system has the potential to be used in various settings and is an affordable
way to protect property and valuables. When used in conjunction with other security measures,
such as cameras, motion detectors, and access control systems, it can provide comprehensive
security against unauthorized access.
