FORMAT FOR PREPARATION OF PROJECT REPORT
The primary goal of a scientific report is to present a record of research work and to communicate
ecological ideas inherent in that work. The author should describe the procedures followed; the
results obtained, and then place these results in perspective by relating them to existing
knowledge and by interpreting their significance for future study. The following is a set of notes
to help you produce well-structured, well-written project reports which helps to train you in the
process of scientific writing. Report writing can come in different shapes, depending on your
topic and supervisor’s requirements. It can also contain all or just part of report writing
components. I will give the full list of requirements for successful report writing.
1. REPORT FORMAT
The information in this section explains how the report should look. Set them up on a word
processor and use them throughout the preparation of the document than to attempt a major
rearrangement of material at the last minute.
Length
There is no hard rule about overall length because this will vary with each project depending on
the nature of the work. For a B.Eng. report, approximately 120 pages, including tables and
appendices is an acceptable limit. In addition if author want to submit detail results of software,
any other filtered relevant material etc then it could be submitted in the form soft copy. Ask
advice from your supervisor and remember, quantity is no substitute for quality.
Paper
The entire report must be submitted on white A4 size paper.
Printing
The report should be printed on one side of each page only. The print quality should be dark and
clear.
Margins
Left margin 25mm. Top, bottom and right margins 20mm.
Justification
Right and left margins should be justified (giving a straight edge to the text on both sides).
Font size
Use a Times New Roman or Arial style font, point size 12 for most of the document.
Page numbers
The report must carry chronological page numbers throughout, including appendices. The page
number should be on the right margin of each page. The title page is counted in the numbering,
but bears no page number.
Page Breaks
Try to ensure that these occur in sensible places. There is no need to take a new page for each
main section heading but you should do so for new chapters. Never let a page break separate the
last line of a paragraph. Try to ensure that, if possible, enumerated lists (a, b, c, etc) are not split
across pages.
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology – Karachi (Department of Civil Engineering) Page 22 of 29
Header
A header should be placed at the top of each page apart from the title page. In addition to the page
number, the document header should include the chapter name, and calendar year.
Paragraphs
These should be blocked (no slash, mark, enumerated list on the first line) and separated by a
single blank line (this blank line is double-spaced).
Line Spacing
The text of the document should be 1.5 times spaced.
Headings and Legends
Section and subsection headings should be emboldened. Major Headings should be printed in
point size 14. Legends (these are the figure and table identifications) should be emboldened and
centered, but not enlarged.
Style & Content
Use double spacing and 12 or 14 point font
Avoid footnotes
Write in the past tense
Use a heading for each section
Use subheadings for clarity
Avoid long, complex sentences
Avoid excessive use of nouns as adjectives
Avoid non-informative abbreviations such as “etc.”, or “and so on”
Avoid repeating facts and thoughts
Be concise and to the point - don‟t pad out your report with irrelevant data or discussion
Don‟t use excessive commas & conjunctions (“and”,“but”,“or”) you can often split these
sentences
Avoid non-committal statements (e.g. use “the data show.” rather than “the data could
possibly suggest..”)
2. THE TITLE PAGE
There are five main pieces of information that have to be included into the title page
The report title
The name of author or group members with their roll numbers
The name of the internal and external project advisors, for whom the report has been
prepared
Name of university and the concern department which originated the report
The calendar year when report was completed.
3. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Good report writing includes a page of gratitude to those who helped the writer in his process his
supervisor, teachers/professors, librarians, family, etc.
Advice on writing a report
Make them look sincere. Don‟t just say, “Thank you…” and give the list of names, but refer to
each one separately and thank him/her for something specific.
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology – Karachi (Department of Civil Engineering) Page 23 of 29
4. THE SUMMARY ABSTRACT
The Abstract communicates the scope of your project and the topics discussed to your reader, and,
in doing so, it facilitates research. When doing a summary of your report writing, go over the
main parts of it (Introduction, Body, etc.), and summarize each of them in one sentence.
Advice on writing a report
This is the most difficult section to write well, so take your time. It‟s better to write
Summary Abstract last. By this time you will know the content of your report, and will be
able to outline its most important features.
To make a good outline, ask yourself, why would another researcher be interested in this
research, or what should a reader be sure to know about the research?
The abstract should be a concise and exact statement of the problem addressed, the aims
and objectives of the study, the procedure followed and the basic findings. Give specific
information to the reader.
5. THE TABLE OF CONTENTS
The table of contents is a reflection of report writing structure. Sections and subsections should be
numbered and titled in such a way as to help the reader find his way through your report.
List all headings & subheadings (excluding the title page, table of contents,
acknowledgment, preface and certificate).
Reproduce the headings and numbering exactly from the body of the report.
Include the full titles of the appendices.
Advice on writing a report
Make a draft table first. It will help you to organize your materials and thoughts.
Remember that it can be altered during the process of writing.
Dot leaders from the heading to its page number make navigation around the Table of
Contents easier for you and your readers.
Arrangement of contents
The sequence in which the project report material should be arranged and bound should be
as follows:
Cover Page & Title Page
Bonafide Certificate
Acknowledgement
Abstract
Preface
Table of Contents
List of Tables
List of Figures
List of Symbols, Abbreviations and Nomenclature
Chapters
Appendices
References
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology – Karachi (Department of Civil Engineering) Page 24 of 29
6. THE LIST OF FIGURES, TABLES, ILLUSTRATIONS
The figures/tables/illustrations should be numbered in order with the chapter number and the
figure/table/illustration number within that chapter. These should each be sequentially (and
separately) numbered throughout the document. They should be centered and labeled with
identification number and title. What the table and figure is intended to show should be clear. If a
graphical representation is used, axes must be clearly labeled. It is common to include a line or
two under the table identifier to clarify contents. If necessary to fit the contents of a table on one
page, 10-point font size may be used; alternatively the page may be printed in landscape mode.
Advice on writing reports
In some report writings a correct sequence is essential: 1) list of figures, 2) list of tables, 3) list of
illustrations. Don‟t make a page break between them.
7. THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OR PREFACE
This part of report writing is usually no more than one page in length, and includes:
The purpose of the report
Background to the report
Sources of information
Main findings
Conclusions and recommendations.
Advice on writing a report
While abstracts are brief summaries that address a technical audience, executive summaries
represent report writing in such a way that it could stand on its own and would make sense to a
non-technical audience.
8. THE INTRODUCTION
The Introduction should be a brief but thorough discussion of the context of the problem. A
typical introduction is about 1½ to 2 pages long. In this section state the nature of the problem, the
aims and objectives of the study, and brief background information. It includes
Purpose or objective of writing the report.
Background information (for example a brief design practice, context of topic or problem)
Literature review (what researches have already been made in this field)
Scope, that is, the size or extent of study, amount of data collected, time frames, focus of
data collection or discussion.
Methodology, that is, the kind of data used.
Assumptions and limitations, (for example, given the above material, any assumptions that
were made and any limitations placed on the material included in the report).
Plan that briefly overviews the argument, framework or logical structure of report writing.
Try to answer the following questions: why do the study? What is the existing state of
knowledge of this topic? What are the specific objectives?
Advice on writing a report
Don‟t begin your Introduction with a sentence that is either too broad, or too narrow. Be
specific.
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology – Karachi (Department of Civil Engineering) Page 25 of 29
If you include illustrations into your introduction, you will help the readers get a better
understanding of the context.
Before writing about the purpose, make sure you understand it clearly. If you don‟t, your
reader won‟t, either.
When giving literature review, try to make comparisons. Introduce two different opinions
on one topic, and out of them make your own point of view/conclusion.
9. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY
Include a description of the procedure you used that would enable a reader to understand.
This will include data collection techniques, the equipment used, the experimental design,
and the methods used to record, summarize, and analyze data.
This is a part where you describe (and illustrate) the materials used, and give a step-by-
step report on how you were completing your task.
Minimize descriptions of well-known procedures and use references where appropriate.
Use figures to explain experimental set-up where appropriate
Advice on writing a report
If you made a mistake during any of your steps, write about it, too. It will show the depth
of your research, for you had to correct it.
Tables and illustrations are the best way to demonstrate your materials and results. By
providing them, you secure your reader‟s understanding of a problem.
To make the parts of your Body paragraph fit together, give a short summary of every sub-
section, and provide a smooth transition from one part to another.
10. RESULTS
Results have to be presented in a straightforward way.
The written text should deal fully with results, not merely refer to tables and figures.
Summarize the data generated with tables, figures and descriptive text.
Proceed from most general features of the data to more specific results.
Write so that the figures and tables are not the subject of your sentences (e.g. write
“Growth rate was higher in the control (Fig. 1)” rather than “Fig. 1 shows higher growth
rate in the control”)
Use graphics to display data in preference to tables whenever feasible.
Use legends and clear, concise, descriptive titles for tables and figures
Identify sources of error and any inadequacies of your techniques
11. THE CONCLUSION
This is the last part of your report writing. Sum up the main points and refer to any underlying
theme. If any questions or issues remain unresolved, mention them in the conclusion. Write in a
brief, concise manner, for your readers are already familiar with everything you talk about.
Advice on writing a report
Don‟t introduce any new information.
Make a smooth transition from the Body to the Conclusion.
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology – Karachi (Department of Civil Engineering) Page 26 of 29
Compare with other studies and draw conclusions based on your findings.
Draw positive conclusions wherever possible.
Before writing a conclusion, make a draft of it. Go over your report writing, and underline
all the important information that has to be repeated. Your conclusion has to stress the
importance of the research.
12. RECOMMENDATIONS
Give directions/propositions on how a problem you‟ve investigated can be solved. List them
clearly, and rely on the materials that you used.
Advice on writing a report
A numbered list is always a good idea. It gives quick access to your recommendations, and
doesn‟t send your readers wandering around the section.
Address any future study that your research suggests.
13. REFERENCES
There are a variety of ways to reference material used in a report. If there is a lengthy list
(several pages), use 10-point font size, otherwise use 12 point. List all the sources of
information that you used during your report writing in alphabetical order.
Advice on writing a report
List all the references cited in the text.
Be consistent with format.
All references should be listed in full, alphabetically by first author in the Reference Cited
section.
If there are three or more authors of a reference abbreviate by first author surname
followed by “et al.” (e.g. “Smith et al. (1995) state that...”).
To keep track of numerous sources, begin writing them down in the very beginning of
your report writing. There is nothing worse than going back and desperately looking for
information.
14. APPENDICES
These should be sequentially numbered starting with Appendix 1. Include data tables, background
calculations, specification lists for equipment used, details of experimental configuration, and
other information needed for completeness. Your Appendices must each have footer with
numbered pages for that appendix.
15. GENERAL COMMENTS
Use and evaluate all the data you report and do not be discouraged if your results differ
from published studies or from what you expected.
Be creative in your presentation of data, your analysis, and your interpretation of data -
play around with different variations before completing your report.
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology – Karachi (Department of Civil Engineering) Page 27 of 29
Make sure all calculations and analyses are relevant to the hypotheses you are testing and
the overall objectives of the study.
Justify your ideas and conclusions with data, facts, and background literature and with
sound reasoning.
Ensure to keep the different sections of the report discrete, i.e. methods in the methods
section, results in the results section, and leave discussion and interpretation of those
results for the discussion section.
Plan your writing: organize your thoughts and data, and sketch the report before actually
writing. This will help maximize your time efficiency and lead to a concise, well-
structured report.
The chapters may be broadly divided into 3 parts (i) Introduction, (ii) developing the
main theme of the project work (iii) and Conclusion.
The main text will be divided into several chapters and each chapter may be further
divided into several divisions and sub-divisions.
Each chapter should be given an appropriate title.
Tables and figures in a chapter should be placed in the immediate vicinity of the reference
where they are cited.
The Bonafide Certificate shall be in double line spacing using Font Style Times New
Roman and Font Size 14, as per the format in Appendix 2. The certificate shall carry the
supervisor‟s signature and shall be followed by the supervisor‟s name, academic
designation, department and full address of the institution where the supervisor has guided
the student. The term „SUPERVISOR‟ must be typed in capital letters between the
supervisor‟s name and academic designation.
BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR FINAL YEAR PROJECT
