  7. Lab Report Format • Lab reports should be typed, double-spaced, 10-12 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 • Discussion • Summary and Conclusions • 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 lab, describe the information in the rest of the report • Experimental Methodology: brief description of the procedures and equipment from the lab, including sketches if necessary
