The Senior Design Proposals must explicitly follow the outline below. Additional material may be added to appropriate sections, but all of the sections below, and the content indicated in each section, must be presented in the order given. Title page Name of the project Date Semester and year – Group number Names of all groups member, major and report section responsibility Names of instructor(s), course Table of contents At a minimum must contain the headings that is, everything in bold - of this – outline as distinct sections of the report, with appropriate heading levels. Note - the title page and table of contents never appear in the table of contents. Introduction Description of the project Brief description of the proposed design solution, with illustrations Research Describe your research into similar devices or technology, and the professional and/or safety standards that govern their use. What ideas have you borrowed from others in developing your proposed solution? Do any of these ideas have documented or potential safety or environmental issues? Design specifications Detailed specifications for the design. Include overall specifications for the design as well as for each subsystem and component. These are the specifications that you are seeking to meet with your design solution, and should refer to the project description, the research you have done, and applicable professional and/or safety standards. In particular, pay close attention to multidisciplinary specifications, that is, specifications that involve more than one field. For example, the torque and speed of a motor required in order for a particular motion to take place (mechanical) determine the power requirements to drive that motor (electrical) and the control requirements to make sure it all happens properly (computer). The more complete and realistic this list of specifications, the easier time you will have setting milestones, schedules and completing the project on time. Design overview
