should include the report title and the report number. Reports without numbers and names are

likely to be misfiled and lost. On a student report, the date should be the date the report is due.

Objectives. This section should carefully state the objectives or purpose of the test or experiment.

It should be edited very carefully to avoid vagueness and ambiguities. In a student report, the ob-

jectives should not necessarily be just a copy of the purpose or objective specified in the lab

manual, but should state the objectives or purposes of the test or experiment as it was done.

Apparatus or Equipment. This should be a listing of all equipment, instruments, and devices

used. General-purpose items, such as wire, resistors, or other items which do not affect the re-

sults should not be included. The listing should include name, manufacturer, model, and type

number, and rating of the equipment.

Procedure. A narrative account of the method and procedures used in carrying out the laboratory

work is written in chronological order, and should briefly describe the work accurately as it was

done. Diagrams, sketches, and pictures should be liberally used. In beginning student exercises,

the procedure is usually fully given by the instructor, but in more advanced exercises, students

may be required to develop their own procedures.

Observation and Discussion. This section should contain the data or recorded observations from

the laboratory work. This is usually in tabular form and may include calculated data as well as

observed data. It may also include narrative comments on the significance of the data, compari-

son of analytical and experimental values, and answers to specific questions.

Conclusions. This section is similar to the conclusions section in the formal report. The conclu-

sions reached should be clearly supported by specific data in the observation section, and should

be closely related to the experimental objectives.

Signature. The person responsible for the work and the report should sign the report signifying

acceptance of responsibility for the report. In some instances, this also requires the engineer’s,

registration number as a professional engineer, thus accepting legal responsibility for the work

done. In shorter reports; the signature may a part of the heading section. In student reports, it sig-

nifies that the report is the students work with no unauthorized assistance from other students or

reports.

The report may also include other sections, such as Analysis and Calculations, Theoretical De-

velopment, and Recommendations. The report should be organized with section headings se-

lected to provide the reader with an organized, smoothly moving path through the report. It may

be suitable to give all procedures followed by observations, then followed by all conclusions; or

it may be preferable to organize the report in sections with procedure, observations, and conclu-

sions for one part of the experiment, followed by procedure, observations, and conclusions for

another part. The writer should very clearly identify the procedures, observations, and conclu-

sions, and should never intermingle them in one paragraph; however, neither should the reader

be forced to continually turn back and forth between sections.

The report should be written in relatively formal language. Technical vocabulary should be used

as appropriate, but technical vocabulary that the reader could not be expected to know should be

defined in a glossary, in a footnote, or by parenthetic expression, as appropriate. Avoid jargon, as

it tends to obfuscate, rather than illuminate.
