Forming teams

Presentation format

  • One report per team
  • Cover page should include
    • course number and section
    • title of the experiment
    • semester (Fall 2023)
    • instructor (S. M. Farzaneh)
    • name and ID number of your team members
  • The report is addressed to a reader who is an electrical engineer as intelligent as you but has no knowledge of the lab manual or the experiment you are performing.
  • Always use complete sentences when describing the experiment or the results.
  • Proper page numbering
  • Content of the report should include
    • Abstract (1 paragraph): What is the aim of this particular experiment? What equipment are we using? What is the main result and conclusion of this experiment?
    • Procedure (1 paragraph): How do we implement this experiment/circuit? What equipment do we use? What do we measure?
    • Results (data tables or graphs): explain what they represent. All axes in a graph need to have proper labels. All physical quantities need proper units.
    • Analysis (few paragraphs): compare results with expectation, explain your observations, list errors or non idealities that occur.
    • Answer to questions in the lab manual
    • Conclusion (1 paragraph): how successful the goals of this lab were met, efficacy of the procedure, limitations, and/or other methods (if possible)
