Virtually
all of the activities and tasks you will be assigned are to be submitted
as additions to an evolving document called the Engineering
Report. By each submission
date, you will attach your updated ER.doc to an email to handin.
At the end of the course, if you are not continuing into the Grade 11
Engineering course, I will print your ER and encourage you to retain this
document as permanent
record
of
your
achievement
in this
course. So, using potentially all of your word processing skills (fonts,
styles, page margins and paragraph indents, headers, footers, page numbering,
lists, tables, Equation Editor, etc.), your ER
will contain,
- a cover page with the title (Engineering Report), the course name
and code, my name, your name and the date.
- a Table of Contents, FRESHLY-UPDATED with each new submission,
- Activity writeups that typically include, the following subsections
(Title, Purpose, Reference, Theory, Procedure, Diagram/Graphic/Photo, Results,
Conclusions and Questions)
- Activity titles in Heading 1 Style
- Activity sections (Purpose, Reference, Procedure, etc.) in Heading
3 Style
- All Activity titles and section titles are to remain left-aligned and ragged
right, as is paragraph text. NO INDENTS.
- All photos, graphics, tables under 3" wide,and circuit diagrams are
to be right-aligned, captioned, and appropriately-sized to 200 px wide. Mac
users can use Preview to crop photos to 200 px wide (variable height)
- Tables greater than 3" wide are center-aligned in their own paragraph.
- Use of the correct symbol (typically inserted from the Symbol Table) is
expected at all times.
