ABSTRACT
A summary is a collection of brief and organized statements (typically 150 to 200 words)
that describe, synthesize, and comprehensively represent the main ideas of a broader
scientific work. It serves two primary functions: firstly, to inform and make decisions
about the contents of a specific scientific text, and secondly, to position scientific
documents in databases. Usually preceding the introduction of a research document, a
summary should be able to stand alone and be understood independently of the original
text.
A well-structured summary should strictly follow the order of your work. If your work is
organized into Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and
Conclusions, your summary should also follow the same sequence. Throughout these
sub-sections, a scientist should be able to address four questions: Why was the study
conducted? What and how was done? What was found? What do these findings mean,
and what impact do they have? Informative summaries typically adhere to this structure.
Keywords: Refers to words that help your document be found on Google, such as:
Outreach Article, Project, Science, Technology, Innovation.

1. INTRODUCTION
This section presents the research topic, problem, objectives, and justification. It
describes the study, explains the theoretical framework, hypotheses, and provides a
brief overview of the chapters. It clarifies the aspects being investigated concerning the
topic and outlines the research objectives. The methodology, detailing the form and
conditions of the research, is discussed, along with the beneficiaries of the project's
progress. The section also evaluates the extent to which the initial project intentions
have been achieved.
1.1. JUSTIFICATION:
In a research project, justification involves the conviction that the research work is
essential and relevant to society or specific individuals who will benefit from it. The
justification explains how the information generated by the research is useful and who
will benefit from it. It highlights the importance of the study topic, justifies the need for
the project, and guides the formulation of the problem. The work should emphasize the
existence of other studies highlighting the topic's importance, referencing them
appropriately.
1.2. PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The problem arises from a situation that raises questions about the topic, often
identified through the researcher's experience or suggested by professionals in the field.
Once the problem is identified, a specific question for the research is formulated. This
question becomes the focal point of the study, guiding the investigation. Research
questions should be answerable using scientific, technological, or engineering
methodologies.

2. HYPOTHESIS
The hypothesis is a potential answer to the question established in the research
project's problem statement. According to Sampieri, Fernández, and Baptista (2014),
the hypothesis serves as a guide for research, outlining what is to be tested and defined
as tentative explanations of the investigated phenomenon. Derived from existing theory,
hypotheses should be formulated as propositions and represent provisional answers to
research questions. In engineering projects, it is crucial to state the engineering goal.
1.3. OBJECTIVES
The definition of objectives determines what the researcher aims to achieve with the
research work, aligning with the proposed questions.
3. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:
The theoretical framework is essential as it records previously published content used
as a reference for the research.
4. METHODOLOGICAL PROCESS OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
This section describes all the facts or procedures undertaken in the project's
development to achieve its objectives. It includes a detailed description of how the
project was implemented and its progression. It should include:
● Methodology used (experimental, quasi-experimental, case study, etc.) with a brief
description.
● Type of research (descriptive, explanatory, case study, documentary research,
bibliographic research, experimental research).
7
● Start and end of the research (according to the schedule and logbook).
● Resources used (materials, physical, financial).
● Location of the research and its description.
● Variables (if applicable): conceptual definition, operational definition, control of
variables, indicators used; population and sample; data collection instruments,
equipment, and materials.
● Procedures: description of stages, techniques, standards, and procedures used for
data collection.
● Description of methods for analysis, evaluation, validation, statistical treatment of
data, and limitations of the method (if applicable).
● Relevant images or photographs to clarify the development process can be included.
5. RESULTS
In the Results section, present the obtained results clearly and concisely, indicating the
statistical calculations performed and specifying the tests used for data analysis and
their significance.
6. RESULTS ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
The Discussion interprets the study's results. It verifies the relationship between the
results and the hypotheses formulated at the beginning of the report, addressing
whether the predictions have been fulfilled. Methodological problems encountered can
be cited, and potential future research can be proposed based on the results. This
section also discusses the implications and limitations of the study.
7.
CONCLUSIONS:
8
Conclusions refer to the interpretation given to the results of an experiment or test,
along with its objectives. In this section, one must explain whether or not the initial goal
was achieved, providing a comparison with the results and procedures. The conclusion
should be presented in a clear and concise manner, outlining the overall work and
comparing the objectives of the project, assignment, or practice with the obtained
results. It should articulate what was observed, learned, demonstrated, or contributed to
the project, providing a clear perspective on whether the hypothesis was fulfilled and
explaining the reasons behind it.
8.
REFERENCES:
This section should include the main references (e.g., newspaper articles, scientific
journals, books, websites, etc.) used in the bibliographic research. All references must
be reported in APA format. Unreliable references will be discarded and questioned
during the evaluation process.
9.
ANNEXES:
The annexes encompass all supporting information for the project, including key
research, photographs, graphs, surveys, etc.
