Project Development
This presents the working drawings
and schematic diagrams as well as
its corresponding discussions.
Also included is the step-by-step
fabrication procedure of the
prototype.

Operation and Testing

Procedure
This section presents the steps to be
followed in the operation of the project
including the tests required to make sure
that the project performs according to
specified requirements.
Sometimes the tests can be integrated
with the operational procedure because
as the tests are conducted, status of the
operating conditions becomes apparent.

Evaluation Procedure
This is a brief statement on the method
of evaluation to be conducted.
The qualifications and the required
number of evaluators are also
presented here.
A thorough discussion of the evaluation
system is presented in Chapter 2.
A sample evaluation instrument is
provided in the Appendix.
