Milestones, Benchmarks, and Deliverables
As you work on your project, you will be required to present periodic reports on your progress. We call these Milestones. All the items assigned in each Milestone are called deliverables. These deliverables often consist of a combination of written submissions, presentations, and demonstrations.
Design & Feasibility Report
The Design and Feasibility Report (DFR) is extremely important, as it lays the groundwork for your project. You will be outlining your project idea, inspiration, and goals.
The DFR must include:
- Cover Page
- Project Overview
- Goals & Objectives
- Design & Approach
- Cost Estimate
- Project Schedule
- Relevant Pictures
The DFR is due by Benchmark A. Do not forget to include the items listed above. Use this link to access the DFR rubric: DFR Rubric
Notebook/Project Journal
While working on your project, you are expected to keep a record of all work done, as well as future plans and goals. In order to complete a Benchmark assessment, you must submit your notebook in .pdf format to the EG1003 website, as well as show your notebook to the Open Lab TA completing your assessment. A guide to writing the notebook, as well as a basic overview of its expectations, can be found here.
