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

Engineering needs reliable knowledge Use what you can support with evidence. Report only the results of your specific trial, not general ideas 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

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