    3. What is a Project Statement? A project statement defines the problem to be solved so that work can begin on the project provides an initial understanding on the scope of the project

    4. Stages of Building a Project Statement I. Contact key individuals in the sponsoring organization (or the internal division). II. Arrange for a site visit, if possible. III. Do preliminary background research IV. Ask questions, listen, and take good notes in your laboratory notebook.

    5. Doing Background Research What do I need to find out? Where and how can I get the information? How useful is the information? When do I have enough information? Any questions should be asked ahead of time

    6. Elements of a Project Statement Statement of Need Preliminary Requirements Basic Limitations Other Data Questions

    7. Statement of Need A couple of paragraphs Discusses the perceived need Does not have to be very precise Do NOT include a solution Allow for fresh/creative approaches

    8. Preliminary Requirements Describes the requirements broadly Does not have to be very precise Does not require a detailed list (that will come next when you do the Project Specifications) Be careful not to specify prematurely

    9. Basic Limitations Describes known constraints Notes applicable codes/restrictions Discusses undesirable features May include simple sketches

    10. Other Data Includes relevant information that does not fit in other sections such as that about the equipment, facilities and/or policies of the sponsoring organization.

    11. Questions Includes questions that have been raised in meetings/discussions but which cannot be answered until later in the design process.

    12. Format for the Project Statement Cover Page (described later) Body: Project Statement with all the necessary elements (as described before) clearly labeled. Additional Information: Identify key technical areas/skills used in the project.

    13. Cover Page Course Number (ECE 4901) and term Title of the Project (descriptive) Team members (with majors identified) Sponsoring Organization (contact information)

    14. Design Labs C19 and C43 Lab benches will be assigned in two weeks
