Today's Discussion
OUTLINE
Introduction Basic Report Structure

Introduction
The technical report is one of the key ways of
correspondence in engineering. The paper is a
detailed working document produced by engineers
for clients, supervisors, and other engineers on
the job site. This implies that each report has
an objective, which goes beyond merely presenting
facts. Some popular aims are To update the
readers about something To motivate the
consumers to take action To remind the listeners
about something

Basic Report Structure
The parts that you want to add in a report will
rely on the topic and the specific issue. First,
what does the listener need to know? Which is the
most rational method of forming the project
story? In addition, a study includes the
following elements. Title page Abstract Table of
contents Introduction Body of the
report Conclusions and recommendations
References and appendices

1. Title page
This page provides Report title The names of
the authors and student IDs Name and code of the
unit, the university and department Date of
submission. The report title should point out
exactly what the report is about. The audience
should know the basic topic and the particular
element of the subject discussed in the report.

2. Abstract
The Summary is generally composed at the end. It
gives a concise outline of the substance of the
report. The Summary is not a prologue to the
point. The Summary States the subject of the
report. Briefly traces your way to deal with the
job. Focuses on the project outcomes or result,
the key parts of your structure. States the
noteworthiness or ramifications of the outcomes.

3. Table of Contents
The Table of Contents lays out the summary
divisions and subsections and their accompanying
paragraph numbers. The conceptual interaction
between the divisions and subsections should be
clearly seen there. A reader requesting certain
details should be able to find the right segment
quickly from the content list. Decimal points
are used to number the sections and they appear
in the left while page numbers appear on the
right side.

4. Introduction
The introduction informs the theme of the
report. It places the project within its wider
framework, and offers the background
material that the reader wants to
know. Introduction does present the research
subject in detail. describe the project's issue
and inspiration. specify the project's
goals. suggest the study's intent. summarize the
process framework briefly.

5. Body of the Report
The body of the report is the place you present
your own work. The body of the report Presents
the data from your examination, both genuine
world and hypothetical, or your plan Organizes
data sensibly under suitable headings Conveys
data in the best path for correspondence by
methods for Figures and tables Bulleted or
numbered records Formatting to separate enormous
pieces of content Provide useful headings
10
5.1. Figures and Tables
Figures include Diagrams Graphs Sketches
Photographs Maps Tables represent data in
columns. All figures and tables should labeled
and numbered.
11
5.2. Equations and Formulae
Equations should have numbering as per they
appear in the document, with numbers on the right
side inside parentheses. These numbers will then
be used for identification in the rest of the
report. Equations are normally centered, with
successive equations on distinct lines and with
vertical alignment of the equal sign (). y mx
b (1) x l(h f) (2)
12
6. Conclusions and Recommendations

• The Conclusions and Recommendations might be
  joined or, in long reports, introduced in
• isolated segments.
• The Conclusions summarize the key purposes of
  your conversation or the critical results of
  your examination.
• As its capacity is to adjust the narrative of
  your venture, it should
• Be written to relate legitimately to the points
  of the task as expressed in the Introduction.
  Indicate the degree to which the points have been
  accomplished.
• Summaries the key discoveries, results or data in
  your report. Highlight the importance or
  helpfulness of your work.

13
7. References
All facts, processes, documents, diagrams and
maps, whether acquired or based on other
people's research, must be accepted using one of
the acknowledged engineering referencing
types. You can go for Engineering Computer
Science Coursework Writing Service/Help for
Citing and Referencing guidance.

7.1 Appendices
The appendix includes information that is too
extensive to be used in the main document, such
as lengthy logical derivations, precise
scientific sketches or raw data tables. Appendix
conventions are as follows Each appendix must
be numbered with a number (or letter) and
title. Appendix numbers and titles must be
mentioned on the information page under
the heading Appendices or Appendix. Each
appendix must be referred to by number at the
correct point in the document.
