Hi Class,
Today your assignment is to use this class period to write the "Body of Report" for your Engineering Research paper on the Aquatic Wheelchair.
See example below:
5. Body of the report
The body of the report
• presents the information from your research, both real world and theoretical
• organises information logically under appropriate headings
• conveys information in the most effective way for communication:
− uses figures and tables
− can use bulleted or numbered lists
− can use formatting to break up large slabs of text.
Incorporating figures and tables:
• Refer to each figure and table in the text of the report.
Example:
The communication channels in the organization are shown in Diagram 1.
• Give all figures a title.
Example:
Table 1 Existing communication channels
• The title of a table goes above the table while the title of a figure goes below the figure.
• Figures must be correctly referenced if necessary. Give the source of the diagram or the data if you have taken them from published sources.
See example below:
Incorporating equations:
You will often have to include equations in your reports. The conventional style for presenting equations is as follows.
1. Centre the equation on the page.
2. Place the equation number in round brackets at the right-hand margin.
3. In the text of your report, refer to the equation as either Eq. (1) or equation (1). Use whichever format you choose consistently throughout your report.
Example:
The relationship of the speed of propagation and the volumetric tissue fraction is given by:
v = 1 (1)
√ ((1 – h) Kf-1 + h Kt-1 ) ((1- h) ρf + h ρt )
