Format

The format of your report is semi formal. You should use double spacing with 10 point or 12 point font size. Diagrams and pictures should be numbered so you can refer to them by number. References should be provided at the end of the report (to data sheets, web sites and etc.).

The first page should have the name of team and names of the members. Do not include SS# as that is not necessary. The report should be dated on the first page. Please have all members sign on the first page to ``sign off'' (acknowledge the release of) the report.

Because the report is going to be a little thick, please bind the report by some means. You can use a cheap 3-ring binder, you can use Kinko's binding service (of that of Office Max, etc.). Each section should have the author's or authors' name(s) next to the heading. This allows me to evaluate who did what. If your group has a member serving as a reviewer or editor, indicate so at the beginning of the report.

Data sheets, mechanical drawings and other appendix items should be appended at the end. It helps to have numbered appendices so that you can refer to the appendices in the report.
