This guide provides tips on how to improve design reports by avoiding common mistakes, including incorrect or incomplete schematics, missing components, and equation errors. Includes exemplary work samples.
E N D
Common mistakes II and exemplary work samples Please don’t take offense if examples are taken from your report.
Common mistakes Report should not document chronology of process (like a diary) Instead the report should cover the various elements of the design, providing background detail where needed (e.g., when a new device or technology is introduced) Do not describe design process Create new project in Pspice Place a Vsin voltage in Pspice Connect voltage regulator … Simulate under range of load resistors Such instructions would go into a design guide but not a project report
