Conclusion & Future Work
< Times New Roman, Font 16, Bold>
This chapter should summarize the key aspects of your project (failures as well as
successes) and should state the conclusions you have been able to draw. Outline what you would
do if given more time (future work). Try to pinpoint any insights your project uncovered that
might not have been obvious at the outset. Discuss the success of the approach you adopted and
the academic objectives you achieved. Avoid meaningless conclusions, [e.g. NOT “I learnt a lot
about C++ programming”]. Be realistic about potential future work. Avoid the dreaded: “All
the objectives have been met and the project has been a complete success”. You have to crisply
state the main take-away points from your work. Describe how your project is performed against
planned outputs and performance targets. Identify the benefits from the project. Be careful to
distinguish what you have done from what was there already. It is also a good idea to point out
how much more is waiting to be done in relation to a specific problem, or give suggestions for
improvement or extensions to what you have done.
Future scope of the work for improvement may also be included
