Writing Lab Reports  Purpose of a lab report  Format  Available resources

Consider the writing situation Audience: Other engineers Purpose: Discuss significance of experimental results

Engineering needs reliable knowledge 1.Use standard procedures and describe your findings qualitatively 2.Report only the results of your specific trial, not general ideas 3.Avoid claims that are beyond your evidence.

Analyze experiment, not yourself Do not report what you “learned”: your data is not the results of a quiz! Report whether you reached your experimental objective

1.Write complete sentences in passive voice 2.When using graphics, label and describe 3.Do not “ cut and paste ” from another source, even the Lab Manual 4.Print and proofread before you upload 5.Hand in report on time Practice writing like a professional
