This document outlines a project timeline for developing training materials for entry-level engineers on OSHA regulations and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE). As project manager, the author assigns an instructional designer and web developer to research current OSHA rules and required PPE. The instructional designer will use the Smaldino, Lowther, and Russell learner analysis approach to develop a directed learning environment. Additional team members include an engineer trainer and others selected by the client. The full timeline can be accessed via a provided link.

- 2. Timeline 2 Entry-Level Engineer Project Timeline Project Manager vs. Instructional Designer This client has explained his need for all “entry level engineers” to have a clear understanding of the requirements and need to follow OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules, need of the use of PPE’s (Personal Protective Equipment), and the proper usage of PPE’s that he and/or she uses in their daily job within the first seven days of employment. The client also wants a deliverable that can be used by the engineer team to immediately answer questions, do refresher training, and acquire knowledge of the new information concerning OSHA and PPE. After the “needs assessment,” I assigned both Mark (instructional designer) and John (web-developer) to research current OSHA and PPE that engineers use on a daily basis. OSHA is a federally regulated organization. Under the OSH Act, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace. I assigned this task because, as a project manager, I cannot assume that the client is up-to-date on the current regulations concerning PPE for engineers in their workplace. Any found related updates will be included in the deliverables (United States Department Of Labor, (2013, para. 2).
- 3. Timeline 3 As the project manager I have chosen for Mark to use the learner analysis of Smaldino, Lowther, and Russell approach (2009, as cited in Brown & Green, 2011). The Smaldino, Lowther, and Russell approach (2009, as cited in Brown & Green, 2011) states, “They suggest that the learner analysis should focus on three aspects of the target audience: general characteristics, specific entry competencies, and learning styles,” (p. 78). Mark was selected as a team member because I need an expert instructional designer to develop and execute the directed learning environment. I chose John (web-development expert) for a team member to meet the secondary deliverable. The “project sponsor”, accountant, procurement agent, technical specialist, and the engineer trainer were selected by the client. In conclusion, the details of the project plan can be found in the timeline I created.
