Developing your Writing Skills
In the first lecture in
ENGG2800 we addressed some of the key issues in the pre-preparation of high quality
engineering reports. A summary of that presentation is given here:
Gordon Wyeth; "Technical Report Writing Skills and Techniques"
Format and Presentation
All reports must use a 12pt
Times font with one and a half line spacing (1.5) and 25mm margins all round on
A4 white paper. Reports that do not conform to the above criteria OR exceed the
maximum quoted length (excluding the title page, the references and any
appendices) will be penalised by 20%. All reports should be
written in THIRD PERSON, failure to do so may result in loss of marks. Report 6
is the only exception, and is to be written in FIRST PERSON.
You may use the word
processor and printer in the lab to prepare your report during the normal lab
hours. Neat hand written assignments are acceptable. Grade marks will be lost
for poor presentation. Your report should be easy to read and clearly set out.
Reports that do not reach the minimum presentation standard (including reports
with consistently poor grammar and spelling) will be
penalised
(20%) and returned for resubmission within one week.
Hand In of Reports
It is a rule of this school
that individual written assignments must be accompanied with one of the
approved front sheets, correctly filled in signed and dated. Any individual
assignment received without a Individual
Submission front sheet will not be marked. If you are submitting a
report on behalf of your TEAM or GROUP then you must use the Group
submission front sheet. The responsible team member will fill in and sign
the first box. The responsible team member and all the other members of his or her
team must fill in and sign the second box. The rest of the form should be
filled in in the usual manner. Any group assignment
received without the group front sheet filled in as instructed will not be
marked.
Reports are to placed into the appropriate box on Level 1 of GP-South by the designated submission stated in the course Teaching Plan.
Late reports are to handed in to the School Office on Level 2 of GP-South. Late reports are penalised at the rate of 20% per day or part thereof. Failure to submit a report will result in a mark of zero for that report.
REPORTS SUBMITTED TO THE ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION BOX AFTER THE DUE DATE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND MARKED. LATE REPORTS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE ITEE OFFICE.
Return of Reports
Marked reports will be
returned directly to students during the first practical session(s) after the
items have been marked. They will then be available for collection in Donald's
office (78-458).
