Pick 2 to 3 topics that you studied which were new and interesting to you about Aviation Security, and prepare a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation.  You should submit 10-slides of content. I do not consider cover slides or reference slides to be part of the 10-slide requirement.  Be sure to answer the following questions. 1. What are the new topics that you learned during this class? 2. Why are these topics important in the context of aviation security? 3. What are the consequences of these topics? 4. Who are the entities responsible for dealing with these topics? You have a lot of creative freedom in putting this PowerPoint presentation together, but realize that sometimes less is more. In addition to content which has a logical flow, you’ll be graded on the professionalism of the presentation. ‘Professionalism’ in the context of this assignment means that the presentation is free from distracting elements that do not add value.  For instance, avoid colored backgrounds, overly artistic design elements, complex animations and slide transitions, low-resolution photographs or other graphical elements, ‘fun’ fonts, etc.  These do not impress anyone and only distract from the message that you are trying to convey.

Program Budgeting and Financial Analysis Budget Focus specifically on applying budgeting concepts to an analysis of your program. A budget can be viewed as a financial plan for carrying out a program’s goals and objectives. It can also be a useful tool during planning for revealing potential adjustments that may need to be made immediately or in the future. As William Feather once humorously remarked, “A budget tells us what we can’t afford, but it doesn’t keep us from buying it”. Think about how the information convened for this assignment would guide your aims and strategies for implementation of your program. To prepare: • Review the budgeting-related concepts presented in the Learning Resources, particularly Chapter 11 of Designing and Managing Programs. • Conduct research as needed regarding budgeting. For example, see the information presented on the U.S. Small Business Administration website, which includes a section on preparing your finances. With this as a guide, develop a simple revenue and expense budget for 6 months from start-up of your program and develop a break-even analysis. • Complete a justification for the revenue and expenses indicating where the funds are coming from to support the project and what resources the expenses are related to. • Explain any variance from the budget that is not budget neutral. Application 3: Program Budget and Financial Analysis A 3- to 5-page paper* that addresses the following: Budget • Develop a simple revenue and expense budget for 6 months from start-up and develop a break-even analysis. • Articulate a justification for the revenue and expenses indicating where the funds are coming from to support the project and what resources the expenses are related to. • Explain any variance from the budget that is not budget neutral.
