Laboratory Report Guidelines

The document provides guidelines for submitting laboratory reports for a Fluid Mechanics course. It outlines 10 required sections for the report: cover page, table of contents, summary, results, analysis and discussions, conclusions and recommendations, tutorial, references, and appendices. The report should be submitted within one week of the experiment and include the raw experimental data, data analysis, answers to tutorial questions, and references in correct format. Late reports or reports submitted without attending the lab session will receive major deductions.
