  • Agenda
  • Lab Report Format
  • Team Writing
  • Outline Lab 1 Report

2
Team Writing
  • Outline is important (include placement of tables
    of data and illustrations).
  • Each team member has an assignment.
  • Review each others work.
  • Integrate all of the pieces (sections written by
    different people, data, illustrations) to make a
    smoothly flowing, coherent, complete report.

Outline
  • In general, when writing an individual report,
    you often keep the outline of the report in your
    head
  • When writing a team report, you must have a
    detailed outline to avoid redundancies and
    omissions.

Each Member Writes
  • Employers rate writing among the most important
    skills
  • Take the opportunity to practice
  • Each person develops and writes at least one
    section

    person
  • Use bold headings and subheadings
  • Use the same font and heading style throughout

    pt. font
  • Reports are typically 4-5 pages and should
    include a cover page
  • Lab reports are graded out of 50 points
  • Assume your audience has some knowledge of
    engineering principles

8
Goal of Lab Report
  • Report should tell another team exactly how to
    repeat your experiment and clearly document the
    results
  • More detailed information and an example can be
    found in your course packet following this
    presentation

9
Lab Report Outline
  • Introduction
  • Experimental Methodology
  • Results and Description

  • All team members should participate in the
    summary and conclusions section

10
Outline Details
  • Introduction provide an overview of what was
    done in the lab, describe the objectives of the

    report
  • Experimental Methodology brief description of
    the procedures and equipment from the lab,
    including sketches if necessary

11
Outline Details
  • Results and Description includes tables and
    figures, plus a description of the information
    contained
  • Discussion discuss the significance of the
    results and provide support for your conclusions
  • Summary includes summary of information and any
    conclusions that you may draw

12
In-Class Assignment
  • Meet as a team
  • Outline Bicycle Lab 1 Report
  • Assign writing tasks to each member
