      C)  Drawing should conform to acceptable engineering standards.

D)  Each report should contain the following sections.

 

 

1)Title Page:Should contain experiment name and number, group number,group members,and date.

2)Table of Contents:Should have the corresponding page numbers.

3)Abstract:Use an abstract of about 50 words to summarize the experiment,stating information and conclusions.

4)Theory: Explain theory ,define terms,and outline any problems peculiar to this subject

5)Procedure and Experimental Set-up:Tell how the experiment was used and how tests  were conducted. Describe experimental procedures and give experimental equipment used in the experiment with illustrations if possibble.

6)Calculations and results:Presents results in clearer form.Give a sample calculation and tabulate your results, also include your data sheet and graphs.Interpret  clearly the data you are presenting.

7)Discussion:Compare your results with theoretical values,explain in detail.
