ECE 344 Lab Reports

The Lab Reports shall consist of the following:

  1. Title and dates performed.
  2. Data not recorded electronically. References to electronic data should be made when appropriate. Include sample calculations when necessary.
  3. Answers to questions and problems.
  4. State references to your notebook, textbooks, the lab manual, etc. Specify any graphs or tables used. Write out any equations used in calculations.
  5. State your assumptions! It is difficult to tell if a student really knows the answer when he or she has not stated all assumptions clearly. For example, state your voltage reference directions when necessary.
  6. Brief comments on experimental results. Point out any unusual experimental observations and explain them if you can.

In addition:

  1. Everything must be written in ink. Pencils are very bad for clean rooms anyway.
  2. All data must go directly into the notebook and after each lab period the notebook must be initialed by the TA.
  3. Label all graphs and diagrams.
  4. Write on only one side of each page. All writing should be legible.
  5. Leave plenty of room for comments by the TA.
  6. Each student must write up his/her own lab report independently!
  7. The graded computer files (my_models.mdl, logsheet,...) are considered part of the lab report.
  8. Unless an excuse from a dean is presented, late reports will be derated by ten percent per day.
