Folder 3: Codes and Design Files (Auto CAD/ Pro-E Designs, Proteus, MATLAB® etc.)
Folder 4: Pictures and Videos
Folder 5: Panaflex and Brochure
Folder 6: All Reference Material
Folder 7: Research Paper (IEEE Format)
Binding Guidelines
The final report should be Black with Project information (Same as 1st Title Page above)
Written in Silver color. Spine of report should also be labeled with project title (Capitalized
