The final project format will vary based on the client’s needs and team strategy. The final report should, at minimum, include a well-designed cover page, a table of contents, and an executive summary, followed by the full report. The project should be approximately 25-40 pages. The final report must provide complete documentation of the project so that the client may refer to it later. The final project will be bound.
The client MUST have hard copies of the final project in hand at the time of the presentation. The Instructor must have an electronic copy of the report at least 48 hours before the presentation. All team members must be present (virtually) and actively contribute to the presentation. Failure to attend and participate in the final presentation to the client will result in a failing grade.
