    The document provides guidelines for writing a senior year project report for an Electrical and Computer Engineering course. It specifies that the report must be typed and bound, include standard sections like an introduction, chapters, conclusions and references, and follow formatting guidelines. Key sections should be written in an impersonal voice and include tables, figures, equations and citations but not direct copies from other sources. The report must communicate the project experience clearly to readers without prior knowledge of the topic.

    Senior Year Project

    Report Writing
    Guidelines
    Each student in the ECE-492 Senior Year Project class will be expected to hand in a
    project report on the day of presenting his/her work in front of a professor committee. A
    proper project report must include all the necessary sections targeting at a reader who
    does not have any prior knowledge about the project. This is done to develop the skill in
    documenting our work and communicating that experience to others. In general,
    a) The report must be presented as a set of sheets (in the form of a booklet) typed
    on computer using a Word Processing package. Use font size 11 and Times New
    Roman or Arial type of font.
    b) Must be written in an impersonal form (passive voice; e.g., the voltage across the
    resistor was measured; instead of saying: I measured the voltage across the
    resistor).
    c) Must be neat, presentable, and well-organized. Use of proper margins (1.5 inch
    left margin and 1 inch top, bottom, and right margin), and 1.5 line spacing.
    d) All unknown symbols used must be defined.
    e) Use of proper units for all quantities.
    f) Measurement and/or simulation data must be tabulated in tables. Include a
    caption for each table on top; e.g., Table 1.1: Voltage and current measurements
    for various resistor values.
    g) Graphs must also include caption and legend. The caption is placed at the
    bottom of the graph (e.g., Fig. 3.2: Voltage across the resistor as a function of
    resistor value), and the legend somewhere inside the graph itself (often at the
    upper-right corner). If the graph consists of two traces, use a separate line style
    for each trace (e.g., solid and dash lines). Sometimes, one may decide to use
    markers, instead. Note that Fig. 3.2 indicates that this is the second figure (in
    order of appearance) in Chapter 3.
    h) Other schematics such as block diagrams or circuit diagrams are all denoted as
    figures and treated the same way as the graphs are. Simply include a caption at
    the bottom of the figure (e.g., Fig. 5.4: A parallel network of three resistors).
    i) Equations must be typed properly using an Equation Editor and given a
    reference number on the right side; e.g.,
    V = I ⋅R (0.1)
    j) Do not copy straight from any reference, books or magazines. Students often
    tend to copy straight out of various sources. This is not a good practice in writing
    reports, and it will be penalized. Use your own words by paraphrasing.
    k) Once the report is typed, you need to bind it at the copy center using a green,
    leather hardcover, with your name and project title typed on the side (in
    addition to the front page) so it can be easily identified once at the shelf.

    Abstract (font size 16)

    The purpose of this project is to design and build an electronic controller that controls
    the movements of a robot arm. This was achieved through …..
    Length of the abstract must be (10-15 lines).
    CHAPTER 1
    INTRODUCTION

    Nowadays, almost nothing can be achieved without the use of computers. Most
    advanced factories utilize robot arms to manufacture products such as cars,
    electronic boards, etc.

    The majority of robots are industrial robots. This means that robots have replaced
    people in factories, laboratories, ……
    CHAPTER 2
    BACKGROUND THEORY

    Stepper motors are special types of motors which can rotate in both directions
    having the capability of digital control. Instead of rotating smoothly, they move
    incrementally in steps. …………. Write a small introduction at the beginning of
    each chapter (approximately 10 lines)

    2.1 Permanent Magnet Stepper Motors

    A permanent –magnet stepper motor incorporates a permanent magnet rotor, coil


    windings and magnetically conducting stators. Energizing a coil winding creates an
    electromagnetic field with ….

    2.1.1 Unipolar motors


    Unipolar stepper motors are recognized by their center-tapped windings. The
    number of phases is twice the number of coils…..

    2.1.2 Bipolar motors


    Bipolar stepper motors are recognized by their …..
