Document Summary

Document explains the functionality of the proposed product without excessive design content (cid:894)i. e. , outlines the (cid:862)what(cid:863) rather than the (cid:862)how(cid:863)(cid:895). Ideas presented represent valid functional specifications that must be considered for a marketed product. Specifications are presented using tables, graphs, and figures where possible (rather than over-reliance upon text). Specification distinguishes between functions for present project version and later stages of project (i. e. , proof-of-concept, prototype, and production versions). Outlines specific engineering standards that apply to the device or system and lists them in the references. Issues related to sustainability issues and safety of the device are carefully analyzed. This analysis must cover the (cid:862)cradle-to-cradle(cid:863) cycle for the current version of the device and should outline major considerations for a device at the production stage. Includes letter of transmittal, title page, abstract, table of contents, list of figures and tables, glossary, and references. Pages are numbered, figures and tables are introduced, headings are numbered, etc.
