systems will have all features. The results should be prefaced with an introductory paragraph and
then neatly summarized in a table (see Table 4). In tables, you may reduce the font size to 10 point
to allow inclusion of more information per table. Recall a single table should not be split over
multiple pages.
This section might also include:
1.
Figures/pictures of the benchmarked products, systems (if available)
2.
Tables listing specs and metrics for benchmarked products, including their performance
with respect to the target specifications (if applicable)
3.
Sketches clearly indicating dimensions and all relevant features that could be of use in your
design. For example, the number, size and location of screw holes.

And so on…….
See the "Intro to Target Specifications" presentation for more information on benchmarking
products and metrics. As in the other sections, show some details that illustrate project
development but focus on the information that is pertinent to the revised needs statement and
target specifications.
4.2 Applicable Patents
Each team member should provide at least one applicable patent, and write an evaluation
that describes what impact this patent or the ideas therein have on the development of your project.
The overall section must describe the results of a thorough patent search in your product area.
4.3 Applicable Standards
Search governmental and industry sources for applicable standards, rules, regulations, etc., and
record them here. Make sure to consider health and safety, environmental regulations,
governmental policies, etc. Also evaluate them and state what impact they have on the
development of your project.
4.4 Applicable Constraints
Determine what internal (space, budget, expertise,…) and external (market, environment, health
and safety,…) constraints are applicable and record them here. Also evaluate them and state what
impact they have on the development of your project.
