3. Submit the .PDF report via TurnItin on Canvas:
- Students are to submit one PDF file only. Any additional files will not be assessed. Use a merging
tool if you need to merge multiple PDF files.
- Please note that there is a 20 MB file limit. To comply, it is suggested that the resolution of pictures
be reduced (e.g. 100 dpi).

Assessment task

You are to prepare a professional report addressing your selected design area, design topic,
categories and sub-categories in the marking rubric. Please use the following structure as a general
guide to your report.
• Executive Summary
• Team Reflection (written in the first person, e.g. “We….”)
• Introduction
• Design Requirements
• Design Ideas and Selection
• Detailed Design
• Prototyping / Modelling / Testing (if any)
• Implementation plan for the final design, including Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Gantt
chart
• Risk assessment of implementation if the final design, using quantified risk management to
identify difficulties that may be encountered, risk scores (using likelihood and consequence
techniques) and risk mitigation (minimisation) strategies.
• Conclusions and Recommendations
• References (IEEE or Harvard [appropriate to your Discipline in discussion with your tutor], as
described by the RMIT Library)
• Appendices

A guide to the number of pages is approximately 30-35 pages of concise and relevant information,
