Laboratory & Reports: An Overview
Preparations and procedures : The experiment is conducted by groups of students under the guidance of instructor. Pre Lab and Quiz,
Informal Reports and Formal
Reports
: Pre Lab and Quiz - Each student must answer the pre lab/quiz at the beginning of each session in group. These practices to ensure each student are fully prepared to conduct the experiment as stated in course schedule.
Informal Reports - The informal report report should be submitted by entering into a drawer before 5 pm two days after the experiment. The informal report must have following criteria: date of experiment; title of experiment; objective(s); data and observation; analysis; results and discussion; conclusion; and references.
Formal Reports - vital part of good engineering practice. They permit the organisation, condensation, analysis, interpretation, and transmission of meaningful result. Two (2) Individual Formal Reports and one (1) Group
Formal report must be submitted once identified by instructor. The reports are to be handed in at the beginning of the next period unless otherwise directed by the instructor. No late reports will be accepted. Late submission will be subjected to mark deduction penalty. 20 marks will be deducted for one day late, 40 marks for 2 days, 60 marks for 3 days and no report will be
