Project title — what it actually does

Problem & constraints

What needed to exist, and what boxed you in — load case, envelope, budget, cycle time, temperature range. Put real numbers here. Numbers are the difference between a portfolio and a scrapbook.

Approach & trade-offs

What you considered, what you picked, and what you rejected and why. This is the part hiring managers actually read — it's the only evidence of engineering judgment on the page.

Analysis

Method and stated assumptions. FEA mesh and boundary conditions, hand calcs, factor of safety. Say what you assumed and why it was reasonable.

Result vs. prediction

What the test data said next to what you predicted. If it missed, say by how much and what you learned. Owning a miss reads as more credible than a page of successes.
