Discussion

· Discuss your project outcomes

· Justification of how they were reached.

· Consideration of how the project outcomes were shown to be valid (at what condition/situation/environment etc.)

· Summarize your contributions (improvements/validation in theory, experimental, concept generation, design optimization, feasibility etc.) and acknowledge current limitations of them.

This needs to be done in a structured and coherent approach, showing hierarchy (e.g. major findings, minor findings, etc.)
