This document contains instructions for a group assignment on engineering mathematics. It provides 6 questions involving data presentation using bar charts, component bar charts, multiple bar charts, pie charts, and calculating percentages. Students are asked to graphically represent various sets of data involving monthly sales, employee demographics, factory absenteeism rates, accident causes in factories, company costs, and times when cars were stolen. The assignment is due as a hardcopy within one week's time.
