All the lab reports should have the same format to objectively judge its quality, depth of discussion and analysis. Always use

The lab report should include the following sections (each should start at a different page):
1.    Cover page: Download the standard cover page here
2.    Abstract (page numbering starts here)
3.    Table of Contents and figures (use headings and caption options in Word to generate them)
4.    Introduction
5.    Material (repeating unit, properties, applications, standard properties using tables, and MatWeb)
6.    Apparatus
7.    Procedures
8.    Testing and Results (sketches, graphs, data, etc....)
9.    Discussion [Separate discussions for each student]
10.  Conclusion & Recommendations (if any)
11.  References

N.B.
- You may need a Theory section (after the introduction) in case of a quantitative or qualitative theory.
- You may need an Appendix section (at the end) to attach graphs, sections from references, standards, etc.. (large reports)

- Special attention will be paid for plagiarism, including cheating (Academic Honesty Policy).
- Adequate and neat hand or computer (Photoshop) drawings are required for microstructures, or you can use digital camera.
