You must organize your report according to sections. The format for the report is given below:
Lab Report format:
1. Title of the Experiment
2. Objective of the experiment
3. Any pertinent background information, General formulas, Problem specification, Circuit Diagrams.
4. Resources needed to implement the experiment
(a) anticipated parts list
(b) anticipated equipment list
(c) anticipated wire list
5. Procedures to implement the experiment
6. Results (data tables, graphs etc.)
7. Conclusions (objectives vs. results)
NOTE: Sections 6 & 7 can only be done in the lab. All other sections must be completed before you enter the lab. Failure to complete sections 1 thru 5 before you come to the lab will cause you to waste valuable time and allow you to turn in incomplete work – you will not receive any credit for incomplete work.
When you are finished with your lab work, have the
instructor verify the data that you have entered in your logbook. The instructor
will initial and date your work. All graphs and simulation sheets must be neatly
attached/stapled to the page next to the one that contain the information about
that graphs/simulations.
Special Notes:
DO NOT combine all your graphs/simulations and put everything at
the end of your report. It is very hard for the grader to match the graph
to the section that refers to that specific graph.
Once everything is completed, submit the
report to your instructor.
