CREATIVITY IN ENGINEERING DESIGN II
FINAL PROJECT REPORT
Title Page
The title page should include the title of the report, the
researchers' names, date and the organization to which
the report is submitted.
Letter of Transmittal
The letter of transmittal is written to the organization
requesting the information, is usually written in
conversational language, and addresses the main idea of
the report.
Included could be a brief indication of the outcome,
conclusions and recommendations, and a brief synopsis of
the background, methodology and limitations.
Table of Contents
The table of contents usually lists the major topics, subtopics, tables, figures, and appendices.
The adoption of strong, descriptive headings, i.e., the short
titles that define sections and subsections, is important
because they break up the manuscript into manageable
portions, easily seen and identified.
Well-chosen headings are not only an aid to the reader but
also a reminder to the author to keep in focus the content
of each section.
Problem Statement
The Description or the Problem Definition Statement is a
brief paragraph which draws on the team's initial research,
through the library, Internet and/or interviews.

Executive Summary
The executive summary is, in many ways, the most
important part of the final report and is written directly for
the executive.
It should be approximately one-tenth the length of the
entire report, and should include the purpose, scope,
methods, data sources, facts and figures, statement of
results, conclusions and recommendations.
Introduction and Background
For most authors the introduction is the most difficult and
troublesome section to prepare.
Even after methodical thinking, planning, and outlining, it
is not always easy to find the right words and the best way
to introduce the subject to a particular set of readers.
There is one standard rule for writing the introduction:
o It should be independent of the problem statement
and written as if the latter never existed.
o Moreover, in preparing the introduction, there must
be far more sensitivity to reader interest than in the
problem statement.
o More details about the objectives and background
must be included.
Conventional information elements that should be included
in the introduction and background
o The purpose of the manuscript
o A definition of the engineering problem
o The background of previous work in this field,
including different approaches
o The chief contributions of others
o The scope of the manuscript
o The rationale for the project
o A brief indication of the technical contents to follow
Solutions (Past and Existing)
In this section, other (past and existing) solutions (if
anything) should be presented.
Proper citations should be given to the references related
to the past and existing solutions.

Alternate Solutions
In this section, the answers to the following questions
should be provided:
o What other ways of solving the problem did you
consider?
o Why did you reject some?
o Why do you think that the solution you have decided
to proceed would be the most successful?
Constraints on the Solution
Constraints that hinder or affect the solution should
include such areas as the technical, economic, social,
political and environmental.
These should be described in as much detail as necessary
for an understanding of the solutions utilized in the design.
Statement of Work/Method of Solution
This is the most important section of the report and should
be presented as such.
In this section the findings should be presented with
precision and clarity.
A discussion of the findings should be presented with
summary statistics and results of the analyses.
Extensive statistical tables should be placed in the
appendices with appropriate reference in the text.
Charts, graphs and tables should be used to help the
reader quickly grasp the information.
Summary and Conclusions
Conclusions are drawn from the findings as they relate to
the problem statement, research and objectives of the
study.
This section consists of interpreting the results of the study
according to the acceptable research knowledge and
practice.
Budget for Overall Product Cost

Page 3 of 4

An estimate of the total cost of producing the design


(should include cost of engineering services, product
manufacturing costs or construction costs).
References
Few research studies can be conducted without reference
to information gathered from the organization itself or
from other sources such as books, journal or census data.
Appropriate citations should be made in the text regarding
the reference and a list of references should be included.
The form of this list varies depending on what publishing
style is used.
Schedule of Work Completed (Gantt Chart)
Scheduling is a management tool for a design project. This
section should include the final form of the Gantt chart
used during the design process.
Qualifications of the Engineering Team (Resumes of Each
Team Member)
As mentioned earlier in this report, most funding for design
projects have the potential of being targeted by several
different groups.
This section should illustrate clearly and completely the
qualifications held by the engineering team presenting the
report.
Appendices
The appendices might include copies of the instruments,
instructions to interviewers, statistical information which is
too lengthy to place in the text or drawings of physical
layouts.
Any information which is extensive or which will be read by
only a small number of people should be included.
