Suggested Report Format
                  Revised 9/18/01

 Most engineering students should by now know how to prepare
a technical report. Here there may be a few different items
to include.  Thus the following format suggestions should be
considered as possible modifications to your usual style.

                    Report Title
Course Number     Student Name      Instructor Name

Contents
Executive Summary
  Objective of the study. Conclusions of the study.  If it
involves a design give the assumptions make, and report the
best two or three designs and state which constraint(s)
governed the design. If including numerical values attach
the units and use reasonable significant figures. If a 
drawing of each design is appropriate include them here.
Be sure that you have used consistent units.

Full Report
  If a lengthy report is needed it should be given next to
support the conclusions of the executive summary.  Technical
details should be included in appendices and cited only when
necessary.

Appendices
  Notation
  Figures
  Equations
  Relevant numerical results and a short discussion of each.
(Do not just copy a list of printed numbers. Cut and paste
remarks when helpful.)
  Source code listing. Author(s) and all variables should be
included in comments unless long_name_stings are used in the
code.
