      A good report have to be:

      •Readable

      •Clearly organized in a logical
      manner

      •Sequential

      •Formal
Elements of a Good Report
A general outline for contents should
include the following:

•Title Page

•Table of Contents

•Introduction

•Outline of design requirements

•Objectives

•Identification of constraints/Considerations

•Proposed designs

•Final selected design

•Possible improvements?

•Conclusion
Outline of Design Requirements

The outline of design requirements should
accomplish:

•The performance standards required of the
new product

•Or the problems related with the existing
product that requires improvement

•Rough outline of its physical dimensions
and applications
Outline of Design Requirements
                                   The objectives of the project should be:

                                   •Specific

                                   •Measurable

                                   •Attainable

                                   •Realistic

                                   •Timely
For example:

•The product will be able to accelerate to a speed of 10m/s within 1m

•The product is designed to withstand stresses up to 50MPa

•The product will be easily assembled/dissembled
Identification of Constraints/Considerations

              Other than technical specifications, take
              into consideration the following:

              •Ergonomics

              •Aesthetics

              •Cost limitations?

              •Environment of product application

              •Lifespan of product/Reliability

              •End user ability to operate
Proposed Designs




Include the variations of designs you have come up with, to illustrate your
team’s design process.

Making comparisons between the different designs, explain on how you
have arrived at your final design and why is it best for its application?
Final Design

The final product design should be well described in the report,
containing details such as:

•Mechanical Properties

•Thermal Properties

•Electrical Properties

•Costs

•Raw Materials Required

•Etc.
Final Design



Also, include a detailed
drawing of the product
from different views
within the report.

This is meant to help you
communicate your
product design to the
reader.
Citations

A formal mode of citation is required if
information is obtained from 3rd party
sources.

For example:

…arcing is caused by the electrical breakdown
of the air when its dielectric strength is
exceeded (breakdown voltage of air is
26kV/cm at 1 atm) [25].

  • 2. Elements of a Good Report A good report have to be: •Readable •Clearly organized in a logical manner •Sequential •Formal
  • 3. Elements of a Good Report A general outline for contents should include the following: •Title Page •Table of Contents •Introduction •Outline of design requirements •Objectives •Identification of constraints/Considerations •Proposed designs •Final selected design •Possible improvements? •Conclusion
  • 4. Outline of Design Requirements The outline of design requirements should accomplish: •The performance standards required of the new product •Or the problems related with the existing product that requires improvement •Rough outline of its physical dimensions and applications
  • 5. Outline of Design Requirements The objectives of the project should be: •Specific •Measurable •Attainable •Realistic •Timely For example: •The product will be able to accelerate to a speed of 10m/s within 1m •The product is designed to withstand stresses up to 50MPa •The product will be easily assembled/dissembled
  • 6. Identification of Constraints/Considerations Other than technical specifications, take into consideration the following: •Ergonomics •Aesthetics •Cost limitations? •Environment of product application •Lifespan of product/Reliability •End user ability to operate
  • 7. Proposed Designs Include the variations of designs you have come up with, to illustrate your team’s design process. Making comparisons between the different designs, explain on how you have arrived at your final design and why is it best for its application?
  • 8. Final Design The final product design should be well described in the report, containing details such as: •Mechanical Properties •Thermal Properties •Electrical Properties •Costs •Raw Materials Required •Etc.
  • 9. Final Design Also, include a detailed drawing of the product from different views within the report. This is meant to help you communicate your product design to the reader.
  • 10. Citations A formal mode of citation is required if information is obtained from 3rd party sources. For example: …arcing is caused by the electrical breakdown of the air when its dielectric strength is exceeded (breakdown voltage of air is 26kV/cm at 1 atm) [25]. Under References.. [25] M. A. Laughton & D. F.Warne (2003), Electrical engineer's reference book, Newnes, Chap. 7.3
  • 11. Citations Another example.. [3] Jones, J., 2000, Contact Mechanics, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, Chap. 6.
