Equipment List. List all equipment used, including name, model  and serial numbers, for the experiment.  This allows for  equipment to be located if discrepancies develop in the results. Component List. List all the components and  sensors/transducers used. Formal  Lab Report Format (cont.) Page Three and beyond: The report format should generally  follow the lab handout but should also include the following  items when appropriate. Theory. A brief treatise is to be included which should detail any  theoretical derivations that may be appropriate. (i.e. ‐ a formula  derivation) Schematics / Drawings / Experimental Setup. Schematics,  electrical drawings, etc. are an essential part of any engineering  work. The experimental setup should be shown so as to ease  repeatability.  They should include parts list and their  designations. Submitted drawings and graphs are to be neat and  clearly labeled. Formal  Lab Report Format (cont.) Procedure/Data Collection. Detail briefly, the procedure used  for data collection. Calculations. Include pertinent computations as part of your  report.  If several calculations are required, be specific and label  the results accordingly. Results Summary. One of the primary objectives of laboratory  work is to clarify theory and indicate when and how well it  applies in practical situations.  Therefore, plot theoretical an  experimental results on the same graph whenever possible,  clearly showing which is which.  If only a few points are to be  compared and a graph does not seem appropriate, adjacent  tables of results make it easy to see the correlation between  theory and experimental outcomes. Formal  Lab Report Format (cont.) The Last Page:  Conclusions/Discussion. Include  reasons for discrepancies between theoretical versus  experimental results. Analyze quantitative data.   Include any brief proposals for future investigations  whenever appropriate. Include any general comments             as needed.  Attach:  The original lab handout with the raw data and   the instructor initials and the The completed Prelab work Rubric sheet 9/11/2009 If there are questions in the Lab handout, do not forget to answer all the questions in your Lab Report.
