discussion of their limitations
- Description and visualization of design
concepts considered and prototypes built
- Discussion of selected design: technical
and engineering elements, estimated cost, user acceptance functionality,
performance, safety considerations, tradeoffs, etc.
- Visualization of final prototype:
photographs and/or video of operation with a user
- Plans for the future: improvements and
challenges for continuing the project
