520	3		_aFinal-Year Project Presentations (FYPPs) serve as academic discourses within the university setting, allowing undergraduates to demonstrate their comprehension of a targeted subject to an audience. The issue stems from the inconsistent structures of FYPPs across fields. Despite efforts to establish a standardised structure for the conclusion section, a noticeable gap persists, particularly within Engineering FYPPs. This gap poses a hindrance to Engineering students, impending their ability to incorporate practical structures into their conclusion sections. To address this issue, an exploration of the conclusion moves and steps in Engineering FYPPs is essential. The study focused on examining the moves and steps within the conclusion section of the FYPPs, taking into account the perspectives of FYP students, internal, and external panellists. The research sought to analyse the conclusion section moves and steps employed by Engineering students during FYPPs and subsequently delved into the evaluations of internal and external panellists towards the students’ performance of this section. Ultimately, the study also aspires to develop a model outlining conclusion section moves and steps specifically tailored for Engineering FYPPs. This study employed the explanatory sequential mixed-method approach with two adapted questionnaires, to gauge the perceived traits of Engineering FYPPs conclusion section among students, internal and external panellists. The qualitative analysis involved examining data from audiorecordings of 27 Engineering FYPPs and conducting individual semi-structured interviews with 14 internal panellists and 4 external panellists. The findings revealed unanimous agreement among students, internal panellists, and external panellists on the effectiveness of certain moves and steps within the conclusion section. Specifically, summarising the study (Move 1), evaluating the study (Move 2), and providing deductions (Move 3), were identified moves and steps within a conclusion section. However, FYP Engineering students frequently neglected specific steps within all the moves, contradicting their perceptions of desirable conclusion characteristics in FYPPs. Insights from interviews with the panellists yielded valuable data regarding students’ overall performance concerning the conclusion section, the ideal composition of a conclusion section, the significance of this section, and methods to overcome challenges encountered during its effective presentation. The outcomes of this study offer profound insight into the moves and steps within the conclusion section for FYP students. These insights serve as a comprehensive guideline for students to refer to before crafting an impactful conclusion section for their FYPPs. Furthermore, this research has contributed to illuminating variations among genres within academic fields, particularly in the context of Engineering FYPPs.
