Introduce the work you are going to show in this report. No discussion of how the work was done. No results. No conclusions. About 1-2 paragraphs. 1 2 Problem Statement State what problem you were trying to solve. Explain in this section “what is the problem.” Do not explain how the work was done. No results or conclusions. 1 paragraph. 2 3 Objective Describe on or more specific objectives of the project. Explain in this section “solve this particular problem.” Break down each specific objective/thing you are going to do in this project. Do not explain how the work was done. No results or conclusions. About 1-2 paragraphs worth. 3 4 Background Use subsections to help you be more organized. The background gives a more detailed history of the project than is included in the introduction. This is where you provide detailed information about previous research done by others. Tell me what is already known about this topic (use citations). Tell me what already exists (use citations). Give me a historical back story (use citations). Tell me how this project is different from what is already out there. You will not always find the EXACT information you need. For example, if you want to find information on a candy sorter, you will not find many sources on that if you search “candy sorter”. Instead, you should be researching “ways to sort,” and find that there are many different ways to sort things, like sorting by size or color and your project is an application to one of those methods. You will have most of your citations here. Explain all equations that need to be used and what their purpose is. Make sure you explain all the variables and properly list the equations per the rules at the end of this document. Be sure to use proper in-text citations. YOU MUST HAVE CITATIONS and RESEARCH here. IT IS NOT AN OPTION. No discussion of how the work was done. No results or conclusions. Research you had to do for EVERY part of this project… Even just to get an idea. This should be at least 3-4 paragraphs. You must use in-text citations. 4.1 Example The background gives a more detailed history of the project than is included in the introduction. “This is where you provide detailed information about previous research done by others” (Noble 25)  last name and then page number for in-text citations. You will have most of your citations here. Be sure to use proper in-text citations. 4.2 How to insert a new subheading Just click “heading 2” at the top of the home tab under “styles”. This may change your font and size, so just check to make sure it’s Times New Roman, size 12. THIS IS JUST FOR THE TITLE of the sub heading. When you are ready to start writing text for the body paragraph like this one (which is under the subheading “how to insert a new subheading”) Make sure you press “enter” and select this body text to be “normal” in the “styles” section. 4 5 Methodology Use subsections to help you be more organized. Write a methodology here. This is where you explain HOW you built something, designed something or conducted an experiment… etc, Describe and show pictures of the product and a narrative of how the tests were conducted. Do not include results. DO NOT bullet or number. Use paragraphs. If I were to re-create your experiment/design/product, I should be able to do it from scratch with your methodology. Tell me how you solved the problem. This section should be at least 2-3 paragraphs long. BE DETAILED. Tell me about all your individual designs here. Your original designs before the final product. USE PICTURES TO HELP YOU EXPLAIN. 5 6 Results Use subsections to help you be more organized. This section shows only results of testing OF THE FINAL PRODUCT (results of the original/individual designs should be in the methodology) with little or no interpretation. I ONLY want to know what the RESULTS were. I don’t want to know WHY or HOW until the discussion (below). You should have graphs and tables (if necessary) here. YOU ONLY LEAVE FACTS in this section. NO explanations, no interpretations, no opinions. Give me the results of the testing, results of the design, what happened with testing? Did it work? Did it not work? (don’t tell me WHY it did or did not, just tell me WHAT happened). Insert tables, graphs, figures. You need to paint a complete picture of what you found through the experiment/design here. This section should be at least 2-3 paragraphs long of just TEXT… not including the tables and graphs and figures you need to include. DO NOT EVER JUST PUT A TABLE IN HERE WITH NO SUPPORTING TEXT (a caption is not enough). You must also refer to the tables and figures that you put in the report. It is not enough to just put a graph or a table in the report without ever mentioning it in the supporting text. A caption is NOT enough to talk about what is in the graph and on the table. For example, say something like… “As seen in Figure 4, there are some very obvious trends…. explanation… Table 3 shows all of the data collected during experimentation, but there are some important values that need to be highlighted… TELL ME MORE…” 6 7 Discussion Use subsections to help you be more organized. Discussion describes in detail WHAT your results mean. You can also explain WHY they happened. Tell me how has the final product evolved from the original designs? What makes this so much better than the other designs? What is the strongest characteristic? Weaknesses? Do a FULL comparison of the individual designs to this final product. This should be the longest, most technical portion of the report. It is also one of the most important, because you are finally given the opportunity to look back at the results and explain what’s going on there. You listed only facts in the results, so now explain, interpret and discuss what those results mean. Use calculations, pictures and graphs to help you explain. INTERPRET the results. Why do you think your results happened the way they did? What do your results mean? Compare any theoretical data you had to calculate mathematically to the experimental data you collected. EXPLAIN IN DETAIL. This section should be AT LEAST 4-5 paragraphs long. 7 8 Conclusion Tell in the conclusion what the final analysis was. Summarize your results and discussion. Whatever you put into the conclusion should relate back to the original objectives. Were the objectives met? This is a comprehensive summary. What was tested? What was learned? State and interpret the results. Address each objective in the problem statement and objectives. How did you end up solving the problem? SUMMARIZE. This section should be at least 2-3 paragraphs long. 8 9 Future Work You have to answer 2 main questions here. First, describe what corrections you recommend for this particular design or experiment? What should be continued? How can this product be better? Suggest what the next researcher might do. Don’t put things like “do background research before you start.” Or “work better as a team.” That’s obvious, you should have already done that. But put things like “Future research in this area may include using different materials/conditions/weights/heights, such as _____ instead of the _____ as this team utilized” Come up with at least 3 design improvements or changes to the experiment. Next, describe future or recommended work. What is the next step for this project? What is planned next? What applications are there for this (how can what you designed or come up with be applied into a different problem)? Come up with at least 2 suggestions for applications in other fields or problems to fill at least 2 paragraphs of content. 9 10 References In alphabetical order.
