5. Project Overview
Write a paragraph of 4-8 well developed sentences which provide a brief overview/summary of your project to include the following:
State and explain the purpose.
What are you trying to find out?
Why did you choose this topic? (Why important to you?)
State the real life applications. (Why interesting to others?)
What was your original problem/question?
(HINT: Look back at your “green packet”, reflections, research notes and refer to your “My Project Summary and Personal Relevance” assignment.)

6. Background Research
Prior Research goes here. Use as many slides are you need.
Single spaced
Size 24 font

7. Background Research Continued

8. Works Cited / Bibliography
Be sure to include print and electronic
sources and put them in alphabetical order.
You must also cite any graphics or photos used.

9. Key Science Words (Glossary)
List and define 5 or more key higher level vocabulary words/concepts which DIRECTLY relate to your project and/or research.
Example:
Salinity – the measure of all the dissolved salts in water. Usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt). The average ocean salinity is 35ppt.

11. Proposed Solution
The design and construction of a (engineering project) for (user) to do (some function).
Single spaced

12. Design Criteria and Constraints
Criteria define the product’s physical and functional characteristics and must be declared as a measurable quantity. Examples: length, mass, velocity, performance, and ruggedness, etc.
Constraints are factors that limit the engineer’s flexibility. Examples: cost, time, climate, materials, where the product will be used, appearance, and physical features.

13. Test Plan
When making your test plan, keep in mind what has been done in the past from your prior research and your design criteria and constraints.
Solar Powered Scooter Test Plan Example:
Transport up to 35 kg rider
Test plan: Transport a 35 kg load
Speed of at least 8 km/h on level surfaces
Test plan: 100m distance should take less than 45 seconds
Travels through 10 meters of shade
Test plan: Charge up battery. With 35kg rider, ride through 10m of shade

14. Materials
The materials should be bulleted
Single spaced

16. Data/Log Book
Copy and paste from Excel. Don’t forget to include your summarizes
(single spaced, 24 font).
Solar Scooter Example
Transport 35 kg rider. Exceeds test plan: Maximum mass transported
Speed. Exceeds test plan: Measure and plot speed vs. rider mass
Travels through shade. Exceeds test plan: Measure and plot distance in
shade travel vs. rider mass
Extra knowledge: Solar energy, storing energy, electric motor torque,
gears

17. Graph
Copy and paste from Excel. Don’t forget to include your summarizes
(single spaced, 24 font).

18. Scientific Pictures
