  1. Schedule • Today: Completion of Project 2 • Finish any final experiments • Write reports • Group assignments for Project 3 available • Tuesday, Oct 19: Work on Preplan for Project 3 • Due: Project 2 Reports, Notebooks, Team Evaluations • Thursday, Oct 21 OR Friday, Oct 22: Project 3 experimental work • Nuclear field trip involves 13 people • Option of team collecting data on Th or F • You must have at least 2 team members • Self-scheduled times on Friday • Choked flow, Pipes and fittings – may not need this day to complete the project • Due: Preplans for Project 3, Safety sheets

  2. Schedule - 2 • Tuesday, Oct 26: Experimental work • Thursday, Oct 28: • Meet in Project 2 Teams to revise Project 2 report • Project 3 experimental work • Tuesday, Nov 2: CompleteProject 3 experimental work • Due at beginning of class: Project 2 revised report • Project 2 grade based on revised report • Thursday, Nov 4: Work on Project 3 report • Tuesday, Nov 9: Team critiquing of Project 3 reports • Due: Project 3 reports posted on line

  3. Project 2: Abbreviated Reports • Executive Summary • Abstract – not required in abbreviated report • Introduction (what is this all about?) • Problem statement (how did it all start?) • Objectives (what needed to be accomplished?) • DO NOT discuss methods or results here

  4. Abbreviated Reports (continued) • Theoretical/Analytical Background (what principles apply?) • How can the answer be determined? • Assumptions!!! • Methods (what did you do?) • Results/Analysis/Discussion (what did you get, and what does it mean?) • Establish the validity of your results • Compare to theory, published data, etc. • Error Analysis • Summary/Conclusions (tie it all together) • Draw and support your conclusions

  5. Abbreviated Reports (continued) • Appendix • Neatly organized • Raw data • Example calculation of analysis • Show equations – Excel columns of numbers inadequate • Some explanation of what is being calculated • Still must have a logical flow • Not a hodgepodge of equations and numbers

  6. Page Requirements? No • Executive summaries should be concise – definitely not more than a page • Introduction – Again be concise, but lay out what the problem is and what your plan is. • Results • Use tables and graphs where possible • Don’t display the same data in both a table and a graph • Use graphs to elucidate and illustrate trends and significant relationships; use tables for quantitatively important information • Raw data goes in appendix; final results pertinent to the problem statement go here • Logical discussion of the results and how they apply to the problem statement • Concise, but complete – no page limit • Conclusions • Not a rehash of everything • Concise, but tie it together and state important conclusions and the rationale behind them. • Verbose (too many pages) or inadequate (too few pages) reports will lose points
