Laboratory Report:

All the information that you obtain and all the work you do must be recorded in great detail. Neatness and consistency are important virtues.  You MUST write the report  in the log book.  You must organize your report according to sections.  There are 7 sections in a complete reports.  The detailed information about each section are given below:
 

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 section that contain the information about that graphs/simulations.

Special Notes:

DO NOT combine all your graphs/simulations and put it 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 on time.
