It should be composed of four paragraphs. 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 to make 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 do you 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 paragraph that summarizes innovation in your project. What other things can be done to improve your design; what will be the impact of success, etc. This paragraph should be about four sentences. There must beTABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

PROBLEM In this section, you will define the problem you are addressing, explain its significance, and discuss the impact of your solution (not how you are going to solve the problem, but what will happen if you solve the 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 REQUIREMENTS Start with an introductory paragraph or two. Then you will list your specific design constraints, followed by an explanation. This section should be at least three pages long. 2.1. Technical Design Constraints Our five technical design constraints are shown in Table 1. Each team must have five technical design constraints that adequately constrain the circuit and software design of the system. Technical design constraints typically relate to the performance of the system. Note the format of the table and the use of a cross-reference in the text above. You will need two or three paragraphs explaining these design constraints. Typically these are explained in groups since design constraints are often interrelated. Use constraints that relate to well-known standards (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 the tests you use to verify your design constraints.
