Title: Document the progression of the engineering practicum in a technical report.
Course: Engineering Practicum IV (21047-36) > Section: Designing a Practicum Project

Documentation should be included in an engineering notebook, state the problem and solution, and should

- produce a cost analysis of the process
- explain how the requirements/criteria of the solution are met
- identify decision-making tools, such as
  - evidence and data
  - scientific and mathematic principles
  - balancing trade-offs
- justify key decisions made throughout the project
- explain the viability of solution
- address the solution’s marketability.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What elements are required in a basic proposal?
- What is technical writing?
- Why is it crucial to know the audience/decision makers?
- What are the essential components to a properly developed engineering technical report?
- What elements belong in a technical report?
- What is the purpose of an abstract?
- Why should appendices be included in the report?
- What were the metrics involved in the design of the solution?
