BEng Final Year Project Report

ABSTRACT

[ENTER YOUR ABSTRACT HERE - The abstract should not be

longer than 120 words and is a short summary describing the

contents of the report, rather than being a summary of the

project. The purpose of the abstract is to enable a reader

to decide whether the report might worth reading in detail.

They would probably then read the conclusions to determine

the outcomes of the work. The abstract is not intended to

replace any other part of the report e.g. the introduction.

It merely provides a taste for what is to come.]

The main body of the report should typically contain the

following sections. Due to the diversity of projects,

students should consult their project supervisor about [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE / PROJECT TITLE HERE]

3


BEng Final Year Project Reportthe most appropriate structure for their individual

projects.

Chapters may start with an introduction; number all

paragraphs but do not use more than three levels e.g.

1.2.4 but not 1.2.4.1. Use alphabets, bullet points, etc…

if you feel it is absolutely necessary to have further

sub-sections. The conclusion chapter is particularly

important.

Remember that the first page of chapter 1 is designated

page 1 of the report such that any pages before chapter 1

can be numbered in formal numbers i.e. i, ii, iii, iv, v,

…

The Introduction: This contains a brief statement of the

background of the subject, the reasons for undertaking

the work, the aims and objectives and the methods

employed to achieve these objectives. This introduction

may also contain details of project cost, feasibility and

product marketability. Note that the final conclusions at

the end of the report should refer back to the objectives

set out in the introduction.

Subject review: a review of the history and background

plus the present state of knowledge of the subject area

of the project work should be contained as a stand-alone [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE / PROJECT TITLE HERE]

BEng Final Year Project Reportchapter and should be written for a ‘non-expert’ in the

field. A definition of a non-expert would be someone who

is a practicing, professional engineer or technologist

but not someone who is a recognised expert in the

specific area of your project. The key assessment

objective for this section of the report is for you to

demonstrate that you can adequately describe a technical

topic for readers who work in the fields of Engineering

or Technology. Any material derived or quoted from the

published or unpublished work of other persons has to be

very clearly referenced or acknowledged or you run the

risk of that part of your work being treated as

plagiarism. Often this is done by superscripting in the

text or by using the name of the author followed by the

year of the publication. You might find it useful to

refer to journals and publications for ideas of how this

is done. An example is:

A good description of optical waveguides can be found in

the work undertaken by Pitt [Pitt, 1973].

Description of the project work: this must describe what

has been achieved throughout the period of the project

work. If there are several distinct areas, then it may be

better to split this into several chapters. Besides

covering the work that has been done, this section should

also discuss other areas that were considered but not

necessarily used in the project. The reasons why these [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE / PROJECT TITLE HERE]

5


BEng Final Year Project Reportunused areas were considered and the reasons why they

were not utilised in the project should also be included.

The particular arrangement of the sections will depend on

the individual characteristics of the project, but the

following general points can be incorporated.

Results: This section should present and discuss the

results and measurements that have been generated

throughout the project. Tables of results, especially

those involving a lot of data, should be in the appendix.

The details in this section form the underlying material

that will be presented in the final section, the

conclusion.

There are many ways of expressing results in a useful and

informative manner, including graphs, charts, diagrams,

etc… Make the best use of these methods to present the

results in the most appropriate fashion. The results and

discussion section may re-examine the cost aspects and

marketability of the project.

Equations: All equations need to be numbered. An easy way

of numbering equations is to use the chapter number e.g.

Equation 2 -1 could be used to represent the first

equation you use in chapter 2 of your report, etc…

e=mc2[INSERT YOUR NAME HERE / PROJECT TITLE HERE]

BEng Final Year Project ReportEquation 2-1

y=x+2xz

Equation 2-2

Tables, diagrams and graphs: All tables, diagrams, charts

and graphs must be referenced in the text (using figure

numbers) and need to be followed by a caption that

briefly describes the table, diagram, chart or graph; the

caption should include some form of numbering.

Conclusions: these form arguably the most important

chapter and should provide a concise summary of the major

findings of the report together with comments and

recommendations. These should enable the reader to

decide whether to read the report more fully, to

recommend an extension of the work, or to decide not to

pursue a similar investigation. The conclusion must

contain both qualitative and quantitative appraisal of

the subject of the report; words like 'good', 'bad',

'inadequate' are in themselves uninformative and should

be avoided. The conclusions should be readable on a

"stand alone" basis by someone who has not read the rest

of the report yet can understand what you have done.

Hence start your conclusion with a brief outline of the

project work, then provide a critical outcome of the


7


BEng Final Year Project Reportinvestigation based on a discussion of all your results.

References should be made to the aims and objectives as

stated in chapter one of your report, during the

introduction.

Further Development: this is very often included as part

of the conclusion chapter, in which details about any

further development, improvement and future direction of

the current project are discussed. Any discussions of the

commercial viability of the project can be included here.

Other points: In addition to a description of the

technical aspect of your project, your report must

demonstrate an awareness of time management, costs and

market needs. The nature of this part of the report will

vary from project to project, but examples of the sort of

material which should be included are:-

A time plan showing timescales for major project

activities and comments about any modifications that

may have been needed to ensure the smooth running of

the project.

A detailed costing of the development work you have

undertaken during the project (including materials,

manpower and overheads) together with estimated

costs for volume production, where appropriate.

A discussion of potential applications for your

work.[INSERT YOUR NAME HERE / PROJECT TITLE HERE]

author's name and the date of the publication e.g. [Pitt,

1973] and then described in detail in the references

section at the back of the report.The back page of

'Electronics Letters' gives examples of a standard format

for references, which is used to enable computer searches

to be carried out. You might find it useful to refer to

journals and publications for ideas of how this is done.

An example is:Pitt, C.W, "Sputtered Glass Optical

Waveguides", Electronic Letters, 1973, 9 pp 401-403.Note

that references must be specific. Non-specific references

should be given in the Bibliography. References to text

books should include the author, title, edition number or

year, name of publisher and page numbers or section

numbers. Each reference must be referred to at least once

in the main body of the report.References to web pages

APPENDICES

[ENTER APPENDICES HERE - Detailed mathematical

derivations, component data, software listing and general

detailed backup material should be outlined to the

appendices, to enable the main text to flow smoothly. The

appendices should not form the bulk of the report.IC

unusual devices and even then, only a few relevant pages

should be included. No merit will be given for

unnecessary appendices. Large software listings may be

included as a disc file rather than hard copy.]
