Final Report

We recommend* that you write your final report using the IEEE double-column conference paper template. This is available from either of the following links:

  • Official Microsoft Word Template: here
  • Collaborative Overleaf (LaTeX) Template: here

There is no strict upper word limit, but concise technical writing is preferred. (FYI: academic publications that use this format rarely exceed 10 pages excluding references/appendices!)

(*) The above template is only a recommendation, and you are free to use any other appropriate template if you prefer (see, for example, the reports of previous projects). Content is what counts!
