EET 4150 Analog Systems Design

FORMAT OF TECHNICAL LAB REPORT

THERE ARE NO PERSONAL PRONOUNS IN TECHNICAL WRITING (I, ME, WE, YOU, US,

THEM, HE, SHE, THEY)!!!!!!

LAB COVER SHEET – a copy of this document in both word and pdf format is posted on

Blackboard. This gives you the breakdown of your grade. Be sure to complete the student

portion entirely.

TITLE PAGE – The ‘look’ of the title page is the individual choice of the student, but should

include at least the following information: Student Name, Date, Course Name, Instructor Name,

Meaningful and Specific Title (Lab #1 is not Meaningful or Specific).

The following 5 headings must be clearly stated and defined as a section included in each

formal lab report.

OBJECTIVE – This is a specific statement of the entire design problem given in complete

sentences. Be thorough. If there is more than one design, at least one sentence per design

should be stated and include all design parameters given.

PROCEDURE – This tells the reader what steps were taken to accomplish or proceed with the

design including any design theory and how design results would be verified. This may include a

general format of equations used for design. If these general equations are appropriately

labeled, they may be referred to throughout the report in order to avoid restating them

repeatedly. This section may be given in complete sentences or in a numerically ordered step-

by-step process.

DATA & RESULTS – This section includes calculations and/or the results of calculations,

labeled circuits (simulated or hard-wired, Design 1, Figure 1…), labeled MultiSim simulation

results, any measured or simulated data, properly labeled tables, graphs, etc.

DISCUSSION – This section offers a verbal explanation/comparison of all experiment data

(theoretical/calculated, simulated, and measured), expectations, observations and results.

CONCLUSION – This section includes a mathematical and/or scientific comparison (%

ERROR) of expected results vs. actual(measured) or simulated results. Discuss possible

reasons for any errors. List something learned by doing this experiment.
