Main points report and conclusion placed straight after title page

ENS1154 Introduction to Engineering

• Title Page *

oTitle relevant to task

oSummary of Introduction, main points of report and Conclusion

 placed straight after title page, but written last as a ‘standalone’ section

 What did you learn from this project?

 What skills have you developed?

 Note: ‘Tone’ of the report should be as if written by a team of engineers coming

up with a solution to a problem (not as students doing an assignment)

 Can also mention what is NOT in the scope of the project and why

• E.g. that is part of another project in the Challenge

4.Requirements & Functional Analysis

oThe basic requirements as given by HEC

references and/or calculations.

 All assumptions and approximations need to be clearly stated.

 Pros and cons of each option

• With respect to requirements, cost, environment, ease of use, etc

oSeparate analysis of each part of problem to find best option for that part

oDiscuss criteria chosen and weightings given

oMaybe that ‘best’ options may not work well together – so may have to come up with

‘optimal combination’

7.Relating concept design to requirements

oDiscuss/show how chosen concept design meets requirements that were defined earlier

oDetailed plans as far as possible

 dimensions, models of equipment chosen, etc.

2 | P a g e

 From planning to hand-off

• Including interaction with various stakeholders

 Labour (including skills required)

• Local labour preferable

• Include transportation requirements

 Materials

• Broad implementation tasks

 Explanation of factors considered when working out schedule

(Note: This section can be amalgamated with other sections)

oConcerns about impact the project will have on the environment

• Running costs, maintenance costs, disposal costs

 Possible economic spin-offs

Recommended Structure for Report 3 (Final Report)

oBenefits may include:

 Direct economic benefits (savings, products that can be sold, etc.)

 Environmental benefits

oShould put forward case for investing in this project

oFuture considerations

13.Appendices

 Gantt chart for team plan

 Any issues faced and how they were resolved (HEC requirement)

 Appendices should be referred to in main text (so there is a connection)

• E.g. “As shown in Appendix 2,…..”, “..(refer Appendix 1 for details)”
