QUALIFICATIONS  Normally this section would include an explanation of your qualifications, work experience, education, and certification, to complete this project.  Since this is an academic exercise this section will be used to demonstrate the integrative and capstone nature of the project.  Consequently, in this section list each course you have taken at the University that provided you with the skills and knowledge to complete this project.  Next to each course specify the topic(s) that was covered in that course and how it will apply to the project.  Work or military related experience should also be included, but in narrative form.

LIMITATIONS  These include both limitations on the scope of your project, (i.e. you are building a better wheel, not a better car) and, on the limitations of the equipment, software, computers, capital, and expertise available to you.  Give this section serious consideration.  Consider all the things that are project related that can go wrong.  Do not include the potential problems for you personally such as illness, accident, job relocation, etc. (Remember equipment can break, assigned duties at work can change, and a faculty member can take ill…)  What is your back-up plan?
