I have it already done and handed in, but I did it all in the past tense and some of my friends were saying that that was not what I was supposed to do.

I can't imagine that it is specifically stated in the marking scheme what tense it has to be.

As long as you have researched three or four possible solutions, you will be fine.

I doubt an examiner would be that petty as to dock marks for using a wrong/inapproriate tense. It doesn't take away from the Engineering content, which is what they are supposed to be marking.
