Schedule

Show a simple table or figures that show your scheduled as planned before you started working on the project. Then in another table column, write down the actual schedule so that readers can see the planned vs. actual goals. The point of the schedule is for readers to assess how to pace themselves if they are doing a similar project.

Proposed Schedule

Week	Milestone
October (Week1)	Ordered RC (1:10) Ordered components Created Wiki project and update schedule
October (Week2)	Planned the overall communication design between the controllers. Basic CAN Bus setup on the RC car.
October (Week3)	Complete the base CAN communication. Development of individual modules.
October (Week4)	Basic functional testing of individual modules. Create a base test report.
October (Week5)	Integrate the individual modules and do the basic system test. Building Android Application. Implement release control.
November (Week6)	Testing the prototype of the RC car.
November (Week7)	Unit testing of the code developed.
November (Week8)	Finalize project features
November (Week9)	Testing
December(Week10)	Trial runs and Fixing the issues.
December(Week11)	Project Demonstration

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

My Issue #1

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
