RECOMMENDATIONS
A review of the design process should be
considered explaining how the final outcome
was achieved and then how well this product

Explain how well the process proceeded and
any changes which would be made with the
current knowledge when planning the work.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
An objective analysis of both the design process and
the final outcome.
TESTING AND CONSIDERATION OF INDUSTRIAL
PRACTICE
Using the testing done against the specification, with
