This document provides guidelines for structuring an engineering project report, including required sections like the title page, abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. The introduction should define the project objectives and scope. The literature review sets the study in relevant context. The methodology explains how data was collected. The results section presents findings, while discussion interprets them. Conclusions summarize the key points, and references list cited works. Tables, figures and appendices may also be included.

2. Title page
• This should include the title of the
report (which should give a
precise indication of the subject
matter), the author’s name,
course and the date

3. • Bonafide Certificate from the project
supervisor(s), counter signed by the
HoD / Division or Group Head
• Declaration by author(s)

4. Contents
• You should list all the main sections of
the report in sequence with the page
numbers they begin on.
• If there are charts, diagrams or tables
included in your report, these should
be listed separately under a title such
as ‘List of Illustrations’ together with
the page numbers on which they
appear

5. Abstract
• This should be a short paragraph summarising the
main contents of the report.
• It should include a short statement of the main
task, the methods used, conclusions reached and
any recommendations to be made.
• The abstract or summary should be concise,
informative and independent of the report.
• Write this section after you have written the report.

6. ABSTRACT
• The following things should appear in the abstract.
• (a) the problem addressed,
• (b) its importance/novelty,
• (c) the approach adopted for solving the problem,
highlighting novelty, if any,
• (d) the major results obtained,
• (e) and the major conclusion.
• The abstract does not have to be an entire summary of the
project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and
results of the project.
• It should inform a reader whether to read or not the full text,
and also give a precise idea on what has been attempted.
• An abstract should be short, and limited to 1 page. Include
key words (Font Style: Times New Roman and Font Size: 12,
Spacing: Single)

7. • The main text will be divided into several chapters
and each chapter may further be divided into
sections and subsections. Chapters, sections, and
subsections should be given appropriate titles.
• Tables and figures should be placed in the
immediate vicinity of the first reference to them.
Figure and table numbers should carry their
chapter number. For example Fig. 4.2 is the second
figure in the fourth chapter

8. • The division into chapters may vary from project to
project.
• The important point is that the report should mainly
contain the work accomplished in the project, with a
small portion devoted to describing the problem
addressed and how others have tackled this or similar
problems.
• The report should be understandable to your
classmates.
• It should have sufficient detail to enable the examiners
to assess the validity of the approaches used and the
results obtained.

9. Introduction
• This should give the context and scope of the report
and should include your terms of reference.
• State your objectives clearly, define the limits of the
report, outline the method of enquiry, give a brief
general background to the subject of the report and
indicate the proposed development.
• Methodology
• In this section you should state how you carried out
your enquiry. What form did your enquiry take ? Did you
carry out interviews or questionnaires, how did you
collect your data ? What measurements did you make ?
How did you choose the subjects for your interviews ?
Present this information logically and concisely.

10. • It should begin with a clear statement of what the
project is about so that the nature and scope of the
project can be understood by a lay reader.
• It should summarise everything you set out to
achieve, provide a clear summary of the project's
background, relevance and main contributions

11. Literature review
• The research questions(s) and a clear
statement of research objectives
• Brief background and a guide to the
storyline
• Literature review – purpose
• To set your study in the wider context
• To show how your study supplements
existing work

12. Discussion
• This is the section where you can analyse and
interpret your results drawing from the information
which you have collected, explaining its
significance.
• Identify important issues and suggest explanations
for your findings.
• Outline any problems encountered and try and
present a balanced view.
• To interpret results and relate the findings to the
original research goals and objectives
• To indicate implications of the research

13. Results
• Present your findings in as simple a way as
possible.
• The more complicated the information looks, the
more difficult it will be to interpret.
• There are a number of ways in which results can
be presented.
• Here are a few : Tables Graphs Pie charts Bar
charts Diagrams

14. Conclusions
• This is the section of the report which draws
together the main issues.
• It should be expressed clearly and should
not present any new information.
• You may wish to list your recommendations
in separate section or include them with the
conclusions. Tone Use the passive voice
when writing your report. The passive voice
reads: ‘It is recommended that..

15. References
• The listing of references should be typed below the
heading “REFERENCES” in the order in which they appear
in the work. A typical illustrative list is given below.
• REFERENCES

Compressible Fluid Flow - Vol.1, The Ronald Press

16. Appendices
• Appendices may be provided to give
supplementary information, which is
included in the main text may serve as
a distraction and cloud the central
theme.
