The document provides guidance on writing an engineering technical report, including sections on the purpose of technical reports, basic report structure, and guidelines for key sections like the introduction, body, and conclusion. The report structure typically includes a title page, summary, table of contents, introduction, body, and conclusion. The body should be logically organized and include relevant figures, tables, and justification of approaches. The conclusion summarizes key findings and recommendations.
In this presentation, aimed at students in engineering, science and technology, I present some personal thoughts on what is expected in a technical report. Aimed particularly at students about to write their first lab report, it also contains useful information for students who need to write a dissertation or a software design document. It relects what I like to see in a report when I am marking it, but some of the principles are general I think. Within the constraints of the medium, I have also tried to present this it in much the same way that I would expect a report to be presented. Comments welcome.
English for Writing Research Papers by Adrian WallworkSina Radfar
Publishing your research in an international journal is key to your success in academia. This guide is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English usage. It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.
With easy-to-follow rules and tips, and with examples taken from published and unpublished papers, you will learn how to:
- prepare and structure a manuscript
- increase readability and reduce the number of mistakes you make in English by
writing concisely, with no redundancy and no ambiguity
- plan and organize your paper, and structure each paragraph and each sentence so
that the reader can easily follow the logical build-up towards various conclusions
- write a title and an abstract that will attract attention and be read
- decide what to include in the various parts of the paper (Introduction, Methodology,
Discussion etc)
- select from over 700 useful phrases
- highlight your claims and contribution
- avoid plagiarism and make it 100% clear whether you are referring to your own work
or someone else’s
- choose the correct tenses and style (active or passive)
The intention of this resource is to provide you with enough information to produce a high quality reports and literature reviews.
You may need to produce several small reports during the course of your undergraduate study as part of group coursework assignments. This guide along with other provide support.

One of the main forms of communication in engineering is the technical report.
In the workplace, the report is a practical working document written by
engineers for clients, managers, and other engineers.
This means every report has a purpose beyond the simple presentation of
information. Some common purposes are:
To convince the reader of something.
To persuade the reader to do something.
To inform the reader about something (usually for a further purpose).
When planning an assignment report, your first step is to clarify its purpose;
that is, what you want it to achieve.
3. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
I N T R O D U C T I O N
A technical report is meant to convey a specific message or to perform a
particular function, rather than to ‘teach' the reader about the topic.
Many student reports are written as if to inform the reader about what
the student knows, rather than to persuade the reader that the solution
presented is valid and viable.
This tutorial contains general engineering report writing guidelines only.
For specific assignment, unit or departmental requirements, see your unit
guide.

While reports vary in purpose and in the type of information they present
(e.g. site visits, environmental impact or assessments, industrial projects,
investigative studies, or design projects), all are based on a similar structure
and follow similar presentation conventions.

Reports are designed for:
1) Selective reading:
So they use sections with numbered headings and subheadings.
2) Quick and easy communication of information:
So they use: a) quick and easy communication of information.
b) bullet-point lists

Most reports contain the sections listed below. Where each report will
differ is in the body; the sections you decide to include will depend on
the type of report and the specific topic. You will usually be expected to
decide on the structure of the body yourself. The best way is to put
yourself in the place of the reader. Ask yourself:
What does the reader need to know first?
What is the most logical way to develop the story of the project?
A report usually has the following components. we will discuss them in
details today.
1) Title page. 2) Summary. 4) Table of contents. 5) Introduction.
6) Body of the report. 7) Conclusion and recommendation.
7. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
T I T L E P A G E
This page has:
the title of the report.
the authors' names and student IDs
the unit name and code, the department, and university.
the date of submission.
The title of the report should indicate exactly what the report is about. The
reader should know not only the general topic, but also the specific aspect of
the topic addressed in the report. Compare the following pairs of report titles:

The Summary is usually written last of all. It provides a brief overview of the
substance of the report. It is a stand-alone document generally used by busy
managers who might not have time to read the full report. That’s why it is
usually referred to as the Executive Summary in the workplace.
The Summary is not an introduction to the topic. It should focus on what you
did, how you did it, and the main outcomes and significance of your work.
The summary:
states the topic of the report
briefly outlines your approach to the task (if applicable)
focuses on the results or outcome of the project, the findings of your
investigation: or the key aspects of your design
states the significance or implications of the results.
10. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
S U M M A R Y
The Summary does NOT:
provide background information on the topic
explain the motivation for the project
refer to figures, tables or references contained in the report.
Length: ¼ to ½ a page is sufficient for most undergraduate reports.
A common mistake is to describe the type of information in the report,
rather than summarise the information itself. Read the example below.

A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T S
In major projects you will possibly need assistance or advice from others, such as
industry mentors or laboratory staff, who may have made an extra effort to help
you. You may acknowledge such assistance in a short paragraph on the page
after the Summary.
Give the person’s full name, position and affiliation.
State their contribution clearly and briefly.
Use formal language.

Thanks to my supervisor Dr. Ahmad for being so patient and to Rod from the
chemical engineering lab for putting me right on how to use the equipment.
Without your help this project might never have got off the ground.
I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Ahmad Al-Jabri for her encouragement
and guidance throughout the project, and also Mr Rami Al kilany, Supervisor
Philadelphia University Wind Tunnel for his help setting up my experiments.

The Contents page sets out the sections and
subsections of the report and their corresponding
page numbers. It should clearly show the
structural relationship between the sections and
subsections. A reader looking for specific
information should be able to locate the
appropriate section easily from the table of
contents.
Sections are numbered using the decimal point
system. Section numbers appear on the left
margin, page numbers on the right.

T H E I N T R O D U C T I O N
The Introduction tells the reader what the report is about. It sets the project in
its wider context, and provides the background information the reader needs
to understand the report.
The introduction:
introduces the topic of the report in context.
explains the problem and/or motivation for the project.
states the aim/s of the project.
indicates the purpose of the report.
briefly outlines the report structure (not necessary in a short report).
Length: ½ to ¾ of a page is sufficient for most undergraduate reports.
15. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
T H E I N T R O D U C T I O N
In a short report, the technical background necessary to understand the problem
may be included in the Introduction. In longer reports this may be summarised
in the Introduction and presented in detail in a separate section.
When writing the Introduction, take care not to confuse the report with the project.
The project is the work you did; it had an aim, motivation and an outcome. The
report is the mode of communicating that work to the reader.
16. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
T H E I N T R O D U C T I O N
Introductions to long reports or complex projects usually introduce the topic in
general terms, and gradually narrow in to the precise focus of the project. This
usually involves the context and/or motivation for the project.
key: TOPIC , MOTIVATION , CONTEXT

B O D Y O F T H E R E P O R T
The Introduction and Conclusions act as a frame for the body of the report, which
is where you present your own work. The information should be organised so
that the reader can follow the development of your project. You will therefore
need to put some thought into ordering the sections and choosing concise but
informative headings and subheadings.
The body of the report:
presents the information from your research, both real world and theoretical,
or your design
organises information logically under appropriate headings
conveys information in the most effective way for communication by means of:
figures and tables
bulleted or numbered lists
formatting to break up large slabs of text.
18. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
B O D Y O F T H E R E P O R T
Presentation conventions and section headings:
Provide informative headings.
Make all headings consistent and parallel in structure.
Conventions about the capitalisation of titles and headings have changed
in recent years. Previously, a section heading might have looked like this:
"Scheduling Elevator Unit Using Face Counting".
Now it would be written: "Scheduling elevator unit using face counting"

B O D Y O F T H E R E P O R T
Incorporating figures and tables
One of the purposes of engineering reports is to convey information as clearly and
simply as possible. For this reason, figures and tables are commonly used. Anything
other than a table (e.g. maps, charts, schematic diagrams, circuit diagrams, drawings,
graphs, images) is called a figure.
Each figure and table must have a number and a descriptive title.
Each figure and table must be referred to in the text of the report.
Figures and tables should be placed just after they are first referred to in the text.

B O D Y O F T H E R E P O R T
Justifying your approach
In many projects you are given a task, some background information and
some guidelines, but expected to make many decisions yourself, based on
your own research. In such cases, your lecturer will want to know why you
made the choices you did, so you will need to show the reasoning behind
your decisions.
22. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
B O D Y O F T H E R E P O R T
Presenting your outcomes
The outcomes you present in your report will take different forms according to
the type of project. However, in all cases, your marker wants to know that you
have thought about what you have learned. This can be in relation to both the
unit content and your developing knowledge of engineering in general.
Design project
Clarify how your design fits the design criteria or relevant theory.
Use visual representations such as sketches, diagrams and photographs to
supplement your description.
Acknowledge and explain any limitations and compromises that have
affected your design.
23. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
B O D Y O F T H E R E P O R T
Investigative (literature review) project
After researching your topic thoroughly, decide how you want to present it
and structure your report accordingly.
Select the relevant information, illustrations and examples, and supporting
evidence from your notes.
Do not merely report what you have learned; add value by commenting,
making connections and drawing a conclusion.
Site visit or work experience report
Explain the organisation, its purpose, values, systems, and processes clearly.
Use maps, diagrams and photographs to supplement your description.
Comment on what you have observed and make connections with your course
content.
24. I E E E P H I L A D E L P H I A U N I V E R S I T Y S B | P E S S O C I E T Y
C O N C L U S I O N S A N D R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S
The Conclusions and Recommendations may be combined or, in long reports,
presented in separate sections. If there are no recommendations to be made as
a result of the project, just call this section Conclusions.
The Conclusions section sums up the key points of your discussion, the essential
features of your design, or the significant outcomes of your investigation. As its
function is to round off the story of your project, it should:
be written to relate directly to the aims of the project as stated in the Introduction
indicate the extent to which the aims have been achieved
summarise the key findings, outcomes or information in your report
acknowledge limitations and make recommendations for future work (where
applicable)
highlight the significance or usefulness of your work.

C O N C L U S I O N S A N D R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S
Recommendations
Now you have all the needed information to write a professional report for
your project, do not hesitate, move on and do it
Always address limitations and suggest how they might be overcome in future work.
Best Regards, Muhammad...
