Abstract

The NAC Cohen library is used by most students and is in use for the majority of the day. People usually require an outlet to either charge their phone, laptop, or any other use they might have. However, although there is a large necessity for outlets to work in the library, a good percentage of these do not work. This means that many students will have an issue finding one that does work and might not even find one at all. Our team proposes the idea of attaching outlet indicators to each outlet to show whether the outlet is working or not. This will bring about an ease in students as they will be able to find a working outlet much easier and overall increase the quality of City College’s NAC library. Our plan is simple. First, obtain a basic understanding of the electrical situation of the library, then determine and purchase whichever outlet indicator would prove best, install them, and finally repair the faulty outlets. To save cost and time, engineering students of City College could be assigned to help with the last step as an engineering project for school.
