Technical Report completed

Hi a technical report needs to be completed from the proposal report that is attached. Below are the teacher's instructions.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to ...

SUMMARY: Give a brief description of the entire report.  Try and limit this section to one or two paragraphs (six to eight lines each). Give details of what you actually said.

DESCRIPTION: Write a technical description of your innovation.  

• Begin the introductory paragraph with a formal sentence definition. 

• Explain exactly what the new product or process is, the need for it, who uses it, and how it works.

 (Optional: Include a diagram or picture of the item.  If you are describing a process make a flow chart that shows the progress from one phase of the process to the next.  Be sure to refer to the graphic in the text and adequately describe and label it.) 

• Remember to include a sentence that mentions the main components or physical features you are describing (or steps if you are describing a process). 

• Include the following subheadings: (subheadings are to be indented)

            Physical features (or Steps of the process): List each feature or step separately and fully describe it.

Application:   How is the item or process used?  Who uses it?  Who  would benefit from using it?

COMPARISON WITH OTHER TECHNIQUES, OR PRODUCTS:

• Describe the characteristics of this innovation by comparing it with what has been used or what has been available.  Remember to use in text citations for your sources of information.

• Prepare a graph (choose an appropriate graph for your comparison) or table that compares one aspect of your innovation (cost, availability, percentage of use, efficiency, time etc.) with the same aspect of what has been used in the past or what one or two other companies use.

Note: I realize that this information may not be readily available. Since I am basically interested in your ability to appropriately construct a graph or table and integrate it into the text, you may make up the information needed to do a graphic comparison.  Again, fully integrate the graphic. Remember to title and fully label your graphic. Refer to it and describe it in the text. 

ADVANTAGES OF (YOUR INNOVATION):

Write a short paragraph introducing the advantages of the innovation, then present and discuss each advantage in a bulleted list.
ex. cost- The cost of..
ex. training time- The training time...

DISADVANTAGES OF  (YOUR INNOVATION):

Write a short paragraph introducing the disadvantages of the innovation, then present and discuss each disadvantage in a bulleted list.

CONCLUSION: Analyze the potential benefits.  Do the benefits justify the cost, risk and effort involved?  Will the use of this innovation be of value to your business or clients?  Will the benefits be readily recognizable? 

REFERENCES:  Use the appropriate citation method as given in the text. Cite a minimum of three sources in the text.  Use in text citations (author, page number).  All three sources must contribute significant information to the report.
