- Reduction to practice (25%): Describe experimental results or showcase prototypes.
- Pathway to implementation (25%): Outline the project’s future steps toward creating an impactful solution.
Format Guidelines
- The Design Brief should not exceed 2 pages, including figures; references can be listed separately.
- Use Arial, Helvetica, Palatino Linotype, or Georgia typeface, black font color, and a font size of 11 points or larger.
