Guidelines for Creating your Project Webpage

1. The project webpage can serve as a valuable link on student resumes for years to come; so organize it well!

2. The web page should be easily readable by anyone with general interest in the project, as well as provide technical detail and documentation for engineers. 

3. The front page is critical. If it is not clear and exciting, no one will click further. See example of high quality front pages below: 

• https://sites.google.com/a/eng.ucsd.edu/156b-2012-spring-team21/ 

• https://sites.google.com/a/eng.ucsd.edu/156b-2012-winter-team2/

1. Remove these guidelines as you you create your own page material.

This First page is a Key Part of the Webpage and Should include:

• The first page is especially important, since a user should get a complete overview of the project and results on that page, otherwise they will never follow any subsequent links. If the first page is not engaging, users will not click to any of the subpages. Always put your best material on the first page, even if it is duplicated elsewhere on the website.

• Comprehensive overview of project, including:

  • Project background and objective, 

  • Concise description of final design. 

  • Summary of performance results. 

  • Include link to Executive Summary

• Picture(s) of overall project

• CAD model with annotations of final product; CAD animations if applicable. 

• Photos and CAD figures should include effective use of annotated drawings.

• Movie of final product with narration. See fun examples by Treyscope team and Knee Brace Cycle Tester.
