Capstone / senior design / TODO: e.g. 2025
TODO: Project title, stated as the thing you built
TODO: One or two sentences a reviewer can read in five seconds. What did you build, for whom, and what did it achieve? Replace this entire sentence.
- Role
- TODO: your specific role, e.g. Mechanical Design Lead
- Team
- 4 engineers
- Duration
- TODO: e.g. 8 months
Outcomes
- TODO: a quantified result, e.g. Reduced assembly mass 18% against the baseline
- TODO: a second concrete deliverable or measured result
The problem
TODO: Open with the problem in plain language, before any engineering detail. A reader should understand what was wrong with the world before they read a single specification.
Requirements and constraints
TODO: Briefly explain where these requirements came from - customer need, standard, regulation, sponsor brief - then let the table do the work.
| Requirement | Target | Achieved | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| TODO: e.g. Assembly mass | < 2.5 kg | 2.31 kg | Met |
| TODO: e.g. Deflection under load | < 1.0 mm | 1.4 mm | MissedTODO: one line on why, and what you would change |
| TODO: e.g. Unit cost at qty 100 | < $80 | $86 | Partial |
Concepts considered
TODO: Describe each alternative you seriously evaluated and the specific reason it lost. Name the criterion that decided it.
Design and analysis
TODO: Walk through the design decisions and the analysis that justified them.
Build and test
TODO: What you built, how you tested it, what the data showed.
What failed, and what I would change
TODO: One or two real failures, their root causes, and what you would do differently with the same brief today.
Outcome
TODO: Where it landed, and what it achieved.
