Introduction Situation Description It is noted that connection between people is becoming more and more important in contemporary society. This is given the fact that this connection has benefits to both parties that are involved in the engagement. One of such benefits is the ability to pass on messages, or what Cutcliffe (8) refers to as the communication benefit of human connection. But it is not all people who are keen to connect with each other. Some are apprehensive about the whole thing for various reasons. Johnson (18) notes that when people want to contact one another, they look for an appropriate sample or means of communication that suits their purpose. Others prefer to communicate using means such as the email, phone calls and such others. Other people may find such means intrusive, for example the noise of a ringing mobile phone (Johnson 19). Whichever the case, communication is indispensable in human society. For example, a lecturer may find it necessary to communicate with their students regarding their performance, their whereabouts and such other issues. This report is a description of a project to design and install a text messaging device on the office door of the professor to enable them to communicate with students and other people that might visit their office while they are not there. Problem Definition The goal of this project is to create a device that can enable communication between two people, for example the professor and their student. Managers, doctors, professors and such other people are busy, and their schedules may keep them out of their offices for a long time (Ellis 34). However, given the critical role that these people play in their field, it becomes very important to establish connection between them and their clients even when they are away from the office. When away from the office, the doctor may be at an operating room, the professor at a lecture hall, the manager at a meeting or such other places. In a nutshell, it is not possible to reach these people through conventional means such as the mobile phone, given that this will be intrusive to them. As such, it becomes necessary to come up with ideas to communicate with them unobtrusively (Coughlan 14). The client for this project is the professor. One way to contact them is using their mobile or email address. However, there are situations where the student who needs to contact the lecturer does not have their email address or their phone number. The lecturer can be contacted in this case by using the new idea of a messaging device that will allow the student to contact them anytime from their office. All that the student needs to do is select a message on the device that will be fixed on the office door and send this to the mobile phone of the lecturer. The lecturer can then contact the student via the same messaging device and inform them when they can contact him (Burns 12). Project Objectives The goal of this project is to come up with a device that will help one to contact the lecturer without noising them, and especially so when one does not have the mobile phone number or address of the professor and the professor is not available. The objectives of this project emanate from the problem that the project aims to solve, and the objectives are the solutions to the said problem. The following are the specific objectives of this project
