writing a lab report for a class experiment.

writing lab report steps
1. Title page
Team Member #1 Name
Team Member #1 Major
Team Member #2 Name
Team Member #2 Major
ECE 2100 Laboratory Report
Title of Experiment
Date Laboratory was Performed
Name of Laboratory Instructor
Day/Time of your lab section
2. Summary (on separate page): Brief but complete statement of what you did.
Example:
The complex power of a series-connected ??? Ω resistor (R) and ??? H inductor (L) operating at 60
Hz was investigated. The complex power was determined to be 100 + 100j VA by hand analysis and
simulation. Addition of a ??? uF capacitor connected in parallel to the RL load resulted in a unity
power factor in both hand analysis and simulation work.
3. Prelab: Include the prelab results here after correcting any errors. Whenever possible present
results in tabular form. If there is not a prelab assignment include simply indicate N/A in this
section. Only one prelab per report, even if the prelab was completed individually.
4. Results:
a. Present your results keyed to each step of the laboratory procedure.
Include schematics, sketches, plots, etc.
b. Describe what was done and document your results.
5. Analysis: Provide response(s) to any end-of-lab questions. If none simply indicate N/A in this
section. Only one analysis section per report.
6. Contributions: List the contributions of each team member to completion of the experiment and
report.
7. Conclusions: Describe lessons learned.
8. Lab Notebook: Attach the related lab notebook pages as an appendix FOR EACH TEAM
MEMBER. Team members with poor notebook entries will be penalized.
