Executive Summary
PROBLEM DEFINITION
Due to the increasing of the population yearly the housing
constructions increased. Firstly when doing housing
constructions wood was used mainly and later although the
wall came with different concepts ceilings did not. So still the
deforestation happens largerly. So people came up with
different ceiling concepts but with high cost.

DESIGN DISCRIPTION
So our solution is appropriate for this deforestation and high
cost. It is made of recycle papers and white Portland
cement. This also does the same function of a normal ceiling
and a better solution for these problems.

1 Team Reflection
Initially it was very hard to work as a team with unknown
different students with different ideas and creativeness.
This was the largest obstacle that was faced doring the
project.
But later working with different people reasoned for the
development of the project. Because everyone has different
ideas and when we start up with the our new project we
came up with different creative decisions and finally we
came up with the best idea. This was a great experience to
work with four other different people who met for the first
time.
If had to do this over and over again we will definitely change
the group because then we can share our ideas with more
people that has more ideas and creativeness.
And during our project the most enjoyable part was our site
visit. We went it like a trip and enjoyed a lot there and we
could talk with civil engineers, workmen and people in other
consruction onstitutes. We had several good experiences
and knowledge about constructions there.
Finally workin as a team with different people is a good
experience.

Figure 1: For Figure Purposes

Introduction
Provide a brief introduction to the topic you will be covering.

1. Problem definition
This section provides the background and significance of the project, and technical review

2.1 Problem scope

This is a short paragraph describing what the problem is. Explicitly state the problem you have addressed.

2.2 Technical Review

This section describes why the problem is important. It is a long section providing background information of the
problem. It brings the reader up to speed to the current state of the community which you are working with.
Chances are that the reader is not an expert so you need to write as if a non-engineer will be reading the report.
Even if the reader is an expert, he or she will appreciate a comprehensive review of the situation.
The review has two parts. The first part is a more detailed background and the problem you are addressing. For
example, if you are developing a medical device, the background would be the medical condition being treated by
the device. The second part of the review describes all of the prior information relevant to the problem, which
means all of the existing technology and methods relevant to the problem. This can include commercial products,
academic journal articles and theses, and patents.
The technical review will have many citations to the source of the information with citations listed in the Reference
section.

2.3 Design requirements

In this section, you outline three to five concrete, measureable design requirements which are driving your design.
Only list requirements that can be measured or tested. For each requirement, indicate the source and why it is
important. Use subheadings, a numbered list or a table.

Design Options
This section outlines all of the different options available to solve the problem. You should have a minimum of
2 options.

2.4 Detail of Option 1

This section outlines the details of this design option and explains how the option meets each of the design
criteria assessed previously. This format should be replicated for each subsequent option considered.
For this process it may be useful to imagine a member of the community using the design and considering how
they would feel about its use, by-products and cost to operate.

2.5 Detail of Option 2

Repeat for each option.

2.6 Option Selection

This part forms the final step of your design option evaluation. You need to compare each option to all of the
other options using the design criteria previously identified to undertake the comparison. A table format is a
great way to present this information, which can then potentially be replicated in the Executive summary. Some
example criteria are cost, environmental impact, community opinion and appropriateness of design.

You will need to identify your preferred option here and justify any trade offs between design criteria at this point.

3 Design Description
This section describes your solution to the problem. It describes both what the solution is and how it works. The
areas below are potential areas that could be addressed in your report.

3.1 Summary of the Design

In a few paragraphs, summarize your solution. Describe what it does and how it works. You may want to describe a
scenario for its use. It should be apparent here how this is a solution to your problem. Include an overview line
drawing, if appropriate.

3.2 Detailed Description

This section contains the detailed description of the design solution. Start by describing your solution and how
it works at a high level, but then do a functional decomposition of your solution. This is your design architecture.

3.2.1 Functional Block Diagram

This is a figure which represents the different functions of your design and how they work together. This may not
be appropriate for all designs.

3.2.2 Functional Description

After you have created the Block Diagram above, describe each of these functions in their own section here. Try to
describe how each of these functions works instead of just saying what they are. For example, if one of your
functions of your solution is the gripping of a pencil, describe how the linkages work together to perform this task
instead of describing the individual hardware pieces. Provide a sub-heading for each of these functions. It is also
important to consider the community and environmental aspects at this point and address any concerns identified.

3.2.3 Manufacturing Procedure

This is a step-by-step procedure required to manufacture the design. Youve seen these before with a piece of
furniture. They are of the tab A in slot B variety. This should leave no ambiguity in the way your product is
assembled. Photos and drawings are ideal here, and more details could be placed in an appendix.

4 Design Description Supporting Documents

Choose either the manufacturing plan or the implementation plan based on the type of project you have.
Manufacturing is for a tangible product, whereas the implementation is for a process. These sections below are
suggestions of what could be included in your report.

4.1 Manufacturing Plan (Product)

This manufacturing plan details how someone can either make another or start producing the product you have
designed. They should be of sufficient detail so you could hand them off to a machinist and get a finished product
back.

4.1.1 Manufacturing Overview

This overview describes the different steps which are involved in the production of your widget. Think of it like
your response to the question, How is your design made? This is a high-level description of the manufacturing
process.

4.1.2 Part Drawings

Drawings of your product should appear in the manufacturing plan. They can be either CAD or hand drawn, but
must not leave any part of the design undefined.

4.1.3 Bill of Materials

Provide a bill of materials needed to construct your product. This would be everything the manufacturer would
have to order, aside from tools, to make it

4.2 Implementation Plan (Process)

This plan details how the process you have designed is put to use. It should be sufficiently detailed so you can hand
it to the users and they can implement it. You should think about the most appropriate way to present this material
so that it can be easily understood by the user.

4.2.1 Implementation Overview

Describe here at high level the way your process design should be phased into operation. It is an answer that you
would give to someone who asks, How does your process get put into effect?

4.2.2 Component List

Make a list of anything youll need, aside from tools and labor, to put your design process into effect.

4.2.3 Implementation Procedure

This section describes a step-by-step method for putting your process into effect. If it is a modification of an
existing method, it should show how the old system would be removed while maintaining all the functionality.

4.2.4 Additional Uses

In this section, write a short paragraph to describe the other uses that your solution has. These arent necessarily
uses which you have designed for, but other applications which could benefit from the work youve done in your
area. These dont have to be fully developed solutions, but rather ideas which could be pursued in the future by
others. This section also describes any feasible variations of the design.

4.3 Discussion
4.3.1 Strengths and Weaknesses
Now that you have shown your design solution, how it works and why it works, describe its strengths and
weaknesses. Be candid about this section. No one every produces exactly the results they desire and you always
learn things as you progress. It is better that you discuss possible flaws and offer reasonable counterarguments, than
to allow the reader to draw independent conclusions.

4.3.2 Next Steps

In this section you discuss how your project will affect the future workings of the community of users. Imagine you
are a member of the community of users. How will you use the results of this design? The community will not have
time to do any new design work. Youll have to explicitly state the next steps to take so the community can take
ownership of the project. A well thought out hand-off plan is critical to the goal of adding value to the
community.

5 Evaluation
In this section, you verify the solution you have provided. You do this by looping back to the design requirements
you established in the first section.

5.1 Evaluation Plan

In this section, restate the three to five design requirements which you established in the first part. Then give an
overview of the test plan for evaluating each requirement.

5.2 Evaluation Results

Detail the results of any testing you undertook on your prototype.

6 Evaluation Supporting Documents

6.1 Evaluation Reports
This section contains the research reports that validate the design criteria. Every design criteria listed is explicitly
evaluated.
For each report, have an introduction, method, results, and discussion section. If the same apparatus or method is
used to evaluate different criteria, there is no need to re-describe your previous explanation.
In the introduction, describe the design criteria being evaluated.
In the method, describe the way that you tested the design criteria. The apparatus for this testing might be a
prototype, computer simulation, physical experiment, or hand analysis. Include the procedure for your testing as
well.
In the results, describe the results of the testing you performed. This should show the analysis equations and a
graph or other graphic result.
In the discussion, evaluate your results from this experiment. Interpret their quality and their implications. Describe
strengths and weaknesses of your experiment. Describe how the results of this evaluation impact the design.

6.2 Cost Analysis

In this section, you will further detail the cost of your design. These are the costs for either making your product or
implementing your process. Consider reasonable costs for materials and production labor. Contrast these costs with
any revenue potential or problems resolved. In this section you should outline any proposed funding sources to
assist in making the project viable.

6.3 Regulatory and Safety Considerations

Describe any regulations which apply to the use or production of your product. List safety concerns which you
have for the use or production of your product. Provide recommendations for each of the concerns you have
listed. There are no outlaw unregulated products.
