You will also need to identify the tools/equipment used, as well as the conditions of the work environment. You will need to use one of two sources of information; a subject matter expert interview or O*Net. Your project should be written in single spaced, Times Roman, 12 point font, and include a cover page, a table of contents, and proper headings and formatting throughout the report.
