A thorough report that summarizes the results of entire design effort. Basic principles of technical report writing depicted elsewhere (see Conceptual Design Report, Project Proposal and Links on W/O presentation) still apply. However following items are especially required:

• Front Page
  • Basic information, company organization etc.
• Executive Summary
• Design Description
  • Top-down system description
  • Related calculations, circuit diagrams, flow charts, relevant standards etc.
  • Some parts can be included into appendix
• Results and Analyses of Performance Tests
• List of Deliverables
  • User manual is a must. The items in this list will be included into appendix.
• Budget
  • Actual Expenditures (Cost of final product)
  • Total Cost (Total expenditures including engineering cost, infrastructure cost etc.)
• Appendices

The Final Report should also provide:
Discussions (one paragraph for each item) on the following:

• Any safety issues associated with your design and precautions you have taken to avoid any safety problems,
• A possible widespread application of your product (and/or sub parts, algorithms etc.) and impacts on society.
• Any potential environmental effects of your product, especially when in widespread use.
