5. Acknowledgement
If a client, organization, or individual has contributed or will contribute significantly in a form of technical advice, equipment, financial aid, etc, an acknowledgement of that contribution should be included in the corresponding section.

6. ABSTRACT
An ABSTRACT can be the most difficult part of the research report to write because in it you must:
introduce your subject matter,
tell what was done,
and present selected results,
all in one short (about 150 words) paragraph.
The most common type of ABSTRACT is the informative abstract. A good way to develop an informative abstract is to devote a sentence or two to each of the major parts of the report.
Enhance the abstract to make it persuasive

7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An Executive Summary is an accurate representation of the contents of a document in an abbreviated form.

14. LIFE-LONG LEARNING
How the project has motivated you to engage in life-long learning?
Lifelong learning is the "ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated” pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons.
Therefore, it not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development, but also competitiveness and employability.
Indicate what Technical Societies, magazines or activities of lifelong learning you are engaged
If you are not members of IEEE it would be a great moment as you are still students and it would be very inexpensive
Being an IEEE member is something good to show in your Resume as well
Another way to show your engagement in this topic is to show your intentions (if true) in getting your Professional Engineer License.
