It should be composed of fourparagraphs. The first paragraph contains an overview of the problem (not the approach).The second paragraph contains an overview of the design constraints. The goal of this paragraph is tomake sure the reader understands the key technical challenges.The third paragraph contains an overview of the approach you are taking to solve the problem. How doyou plan to meet your key design constraints? The second and third paragraphs are the longest.The last paragraph contains an overview of the novelty of your design. This is a fairly short paragraphthat summarizes innovation in your project. What other things can be done to improve your design; whatwill be the impact of success, etc. This paragraph should be about four sentences.There must beTABLE OF CONTENTS1.

PROBLEMIn this section, you will define the problem you are addressing, explain its significance, and discuss theimpact of your solution (not how you are going to solve the problem, but what will happen if you solvethe problem). Start with a general overview, background, etc., and then get progressively more detailed.This section must be at least two pages long.2. DESIGN REQUIREMENTSStart with an introductory paragraph or two. Then you will list your specific design constraints, followedby an explanation. This section should be at least three pages long.2.1. Technical Design ConstraintsOur five technical design constraints are shown in Table 1. Each team must have five technical designconstraints that adequately constrain the circuit and software design of the system. Technical designconstraints typically relate to the performance of the system. Note the format of the table and the use of across-reference in the text above. You will need two or three paragraphs explaining these design constraints. Typically these are explainedin groups since design constraints are often interrelated. Use constraints that relate to well-knownstandards (such as UL or FCC specs), and be sure to explain these specifications.Design constraints must be quantitative and must be testable. The section on evaluation will describe thetests you use to verify your design constraints.[Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Somefiller text here … Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Some filler texthere … Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Some filler text here … Some filler text here …]2.2.
