The following are suggested chapters and what they could contain. The division into chapters may vary from project to project. The important point is that the report should mainly contain the work accomplished in the project, with a small portion devoted to describing the problem addressed and how others have tackled this or similar problems. The report should be understandable to your classmates. It should have sufficient detail to enable the examiners to assess the validity of the approaches used and the results obtained.
Introduction could contain the following. (i) Brief statement of the problem, (ii) importance/novelty of the problem, (iii) related literature - how others have addressed this or similar problems and the relevant results they obtained, (iv) scope of the project

If you do not cite reference in such cases, you will be regarded to have plagiarized/stolen the material. This could lead to punitive action.
Appendices: Appendices may be provided to give supplementary information, which is included in the main text may serve as a distraction and cloud the central theme.
