Improvement SAE Book The Improvement Project is designed to be used by anyone attempting to improve the value or appearance of the home, place of employment, community, or school; the efficiency of an enterprise or business, or the living conditions of the family. Improvement SAE Book Unlike the other SAE Books/Project types, the Improvement SAE will usually involve a number of diverse activities or a series of steps over a long period of time or days to complete the project. A separate SAE Improvement project is not completed for each individual improvement project. The SAE Improvement project should encompass all activities and improvement projects conducted during the record year. Improvement SAE Book Individual Improvement Projects may be completed by: • Only the student • With the help of others or family • As part of a much larger group or class Regardless of the type of individual improvement project, you can not keep SAE records as both an improvement project and another type such as Skills and Tasks or Entrepreneurship. Blank pages or parts of blank pages will be shown during this presentation. General directions will be given followed by entries for an Improvement SAE Project. New entries will be shown in Blue Print. Pages 1 and 2 Agreement - Contract Pages These pages are a legal agreement between the signing parties. • It must be typed or written in ink. • It must be signed in blue or black. • It should be completed before the SAE project begins. Remember that these must be used throughout the SAE Book Improvement E N T E R P R I S E N A M E Project 3 E N T E R P R I S E N U M B E R I M P R O V E M E N T P R O J E C T A G R E E M E N T The Enterprise Name and Number should be the same throughout the entire SAE Project Book. The Enterprise Name and Number should appear the same on the Cover, Pages P-3, and S-1, as well as the Improvement Project Pages. It should also be noted that the Enterprise Name will apply to all individual improvement projects during the record year. For this reason the Enterprise Name: Improvement Project may be most appropriate. You are now ready to start the actual contract or agreement. This information must be agreed to by all parties. The information must be typed or entered in pen. The student name should appear the same throughout the SAE book.

Some are done individually, while others are completed with a group. Some projects may be completed at home alone or with family members, while others are done in the community or as part of a class project. The key is to use you imagination when developing your project list. Remember to enter the correct Enterprise Name, Number, and Student Name on the top of all pages within the Improvement SAE Section. Goals for the project should always be complete sentences and are shown in blue. Poor goals are shown in red. If you have more than 10, add supplemental pages. ENTERPRISE NAME Student Name Improvement Project ENTERPRISE NUMBER 3 JimSmith GOALS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS List goals to be accomplished while completing the improvement project. 1 Paint rooms in house. 2 I want to improve the living conditions in the family home. 3 Get rid of shed/seed yard and stuff 4 I want to improve the home appearance and property value. 5 Eagle Scout Requirements 6 I will complete a service project for the Eagle Scout Award. 7 I will work with my landscape class in the town library project. 8 I will develop small engine knowledge by overhauling the lawn mower. All SAE projects may have special conditions or arrangements that should be taken care of before the project starts. This is especially true for an improvement project, since there could be major expenses with little or no income. It is best if all parties know what to expect before the project begins.

If the project is being conducted on the property of other individuals, you must make certain that all parties understand who and how expenses will be covered and in what time frame. Even though this agreement page does not require signatures of a third party, you may want to have some type of signed agreement to prevent possible misunderstandings in the future. To complete the agreement or contract on pages 1 and 2, all parties must sign the agreement. T h e p a r tie s in v o lv e d in th is p r o je c ta g r e e to th e te r m s s ta te d a b o v e .

The photos you use may show before, during and after the project. You will need to decide how to best tell present the information. Include a description or a narrative with each photo. Note: Since you should not combine photos from different individual projects on the same page, it is not necessary to list the improvement project number besides the photos since this information is given at the top of each page 5.

Evaluations should be completed by the student, parents, teacher, or other individuals that have been involved with the various projects. More than one person may write an evaluation on the page. Try to group the evaluations for individual improvement projects together when possible. You may want to have a separate page 10 for each individual improvement project; however, this is not necessary especially when some individuals supervise or oversee numerous projects. Make certain that the evaluation identifies the individual project or project number that is being evaluated.

During the project I learned that removing old wall paper, and fixing up plaster walls is more difficult than I expected. The actual painting was what I expected; however the preparation and cleanup were much more difficult. The only unexpected item was the need to replace one of the receptacles. I personally think the room looks great and can’t wait to have friends come over to our home. Jim Smith March 13, 20xx – Jacob Smith – Jim finished the living room project and did a great job. I am proud of the fact that he was able to complete the project within the time frame that was set up. In most cases the evaluations will be completed in pen. If He has developed a much better understanding to time management and the need to complete the evaluations computer version or projects on time. Of course theare fact entered that the TVinto couldthe not be used while the project was typed, the giving the evaluation should sign underway may have hadperson a factor in when the project was completed.
