Presentation Transcript

  1. Silicon Prairie Initiative on Robotics in Information Technology Using an Engineering Notebook

  2. What IS an Engineering Notebook? • A “Blow-by-Blow” record of all laboratory procedures and observations • Audience: the engineer • Answers the “why” and “how” of the experiment(s) and measurement(s) • May become important legal record • Record of failures as well as successes

  3. Engineering Notebook Entries • Objectives of the project • Preliminary analysis • Equipment diagram • Experimental procedure • Data – including proper labeling • Graphs – with proper labeling • Calculations • Results and conclusions • Comments for future work

  4. What an Engineering Notebook ISN’T • A notebook is not a report • The data from a single notebook record might be used for several quite different reports • A notebook is not intended to be completed after the work • Don’t use scratch paper. If it’s worth recording, it’s worth putting directly into the notebook

  5. Dialectic Notebook Entries

  6. Engineering Notebook • A significant fraction of engineering time is used just writing things down in the book. If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen.
