Introduction

1.1 Background Information

A project report usually contains five or six chapters. Chapters should be divided into
sections that should be numbered according to their chapter numbers. For instance, the
numbering of sections of chapter one should be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.

The first chapter should be “Introduction” and it should provide the background
information related to the project. The first section of the Introduction chapter should be
titled “Background Information”. While the other sections should be “Significance and
Motivation”, “Aims and Objectives”, “Methodology” and “Report Outline/Scope” of the
Project. It should inform the readers what you did in the project, why you did it, and how
you achieved it. This chapter provides a broad overview on what is discussed in the
report.

1.2 Significance and Motivation

The second section of the chapter one should be “Significance and Motivation”. It should
include the importance of the project and its benefits.

Subsections should have numbering in accordance with its chapter and section number.
For example, the numbering of subsections in section two of chapter one should be like
1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, etc. It is not recommended to have only a single subsection in a
section.

1.3 Aims and Objectives

The third section of the chapter one should be “Aims and Objectives”.

1.4 Methodology
The fourth section of the chapter one should be “Methodology”. It should include the
details of the methodology that you have used to solve the problem.

1
1.5 Report Outline
The fifth section of the chapter one should be “Report Outline”. It should include the
scope of the project and explain the general outline of the report by highlighting the
content that is covered in different chapters and sections.

Kindly include more sections in the Introduction chapter if you prefer.

 Chapter 2
Literature Review

2.1 Introduction
Except for the Introduction chapter (first chapter) and the Conclusion chapter (last
chapter), all other chapters should have first section titled “Introduction” and last section
titled “Summary/Conclusions”. In Introduction sections, discuss the content of chapters
such that the readers will have an idea about what is discussed in the chapters. This
allows the readers to know in advance if the chapter is relevant to their interests. On the
other hand, the Summary sections discuss what has been achieved in the chapters. Write
the Summary sections by keeping in mind that many readers do not have time to read the
complete chapters; therefore, they only read Summary sections to get an overview.
Consequently, include the most important achievements and aspects in these sections and
use past tense to write Summary sections.

The goal of this chapter is you discuss how your work is different from the work already
done in the field. You should present a critical review on the past work on your topic.
This chapter will in return help students to gather updated knowledge on the project and
this will enable them to understand the limitations of previous work done on your topic.

2.2 [Title of the Section]

A sample graph is shown in the Figure 1. Always use the “Insert Caption” option to insert
the figure label and numbering automatically. This will also automatically update them in
the List of Figures. Captions of figures should be given on the bottom of the figures. To
refer to a figure in the text go to References in the Ribbon, then click on Cross-reference,
then select Figure in Reference type, then select Only label and number in Insert
reference to.

2.3 [Title of the Section]

A sample table is shown in the Table 1. Always use the “Insert Caption” option to insert
the figure label and numbering automatically. This will also automatically update them in
the List of Figures. Captions of tables should be given on the top of the tables. To refer to
a table in the text go to References in the Ribbon, then click on Cross-reference, then
select Table in Reference type, then select Only label and number in Insert reference to.

2.4 More Sections

Include sections as appropriate to your literature review.

2.5 Summary
Last section of each chapter should be Summary or Conclusion.

 Chapter 3
[Name of the Chapter]

3.1 Introduction
Include more chapters as appropriate to your project. All chapters should start from a new
page. The middle chapters should discuss your work on the project. Some famous
headings for these chapters are Design and Calculations, Modeling and Simulations,
Fabrication Work, Data Acquisition and Analysis, Comparison of Methods, Results,
Discussion/Interpretation of Results, etc.

Conclusions

5.1 Summary
The last chapter should be “Conclusions”. It is ideally the fourth or fifth section of the
report. This chapter should include the aims and objectives of the project. It should also
summarize the important points in the previous chapters, and the findings and
achievements of your project. If possible, write some recommended future work on the
project based in your conclusions. Therefore, the last section of this chapter should
ideally be “Recommendations”. For example, you may provide recommendations by
discussing constraints of your project and ideas to eliminate them. You may also highlight
other possible investigations to improve the efficiency of your project. Use present
perfect tense to write the conclusions. The recommended two sections for the
Conclusions chapter are “Summary” and “Recommendations for Future Work”.
Do not use cross referencing, external references, or footnotes in the Conclusions chapter.
Make it a stand-alone chapter.

5.2 Recommendations for Future Work

Write details here.

 Appendix A
[Title of Appendix]

Include appendices, if applicable. Appendices should include the information that is not
the primary part of the main body of the project report. This means that if this information
is removed from the main body, it would not negatively affect the flow of ideas in the
main body of the report. For example, it may include long computer programming codes
while keeping a flow chart of the code in the main body of the report. It may also include
lengthy numerical data while keeping their graphs in the main body of the report.

If the project report has only one appendix, then the label of this chapter should be
“Appendix” (not “Appendix A”). To cite an appendix in the text, write full title of the
appendix that is “Appendix A”, “Appendix B”, etc. Each appendix should start from a
new page and should also include a short description of what is included in that appendix.
