LAB REPORT WRITING GUIDELINES

Since you are studying in Engineering, you have to write a lot of reports/assignments
while completing the B.Sc Engineering Degree. Writing a report is an art and you have to
maintain some basic rules/guidelines while writing it. I am briefly explaining these basic
rules/guidelines for writing an engineering report:

1) Cover Page:
The very first page of your lab report should be a top sheet/cover page. An image
of a probable (you don’t have to create exact cover page like shown below) cover
page is given below:
Using above image as an example of Cover page, you must include the following
on your cover page:
▪ Your University Name in BOLD Letters.
▪ Course Code and Course Title.
▪ Experiment Number and Experiment Name.
▪ Group Number, Name of the Students and his/her ID who submitted the lab
report.
▪ Date of performance of the lab experiment.
▪ Date of submission of the report.

2) Other sections of Lab Reports:


a) Objective:
In this section, you have to write briefly about what is the objective of this
experiment and what outputs or results will be determined throughout this
experiment. 3-5 line is enough for this section.

b) Components Used:
Weather it is a hardware or software lab, you have used some
instruments/simulation software to see different outputs/graphs/results right? In
this section, you have to mention these components/instruments/software
name. For example, In DLD Lab’s first experiment, you may use Logisim
software to simulate different logic circuits, DLD Trainer board, jumper wires,
AND, OR, NOR, XNOR, NOT ICs to create different circuits. You have to
mention these things in this section like this:
i) AND IC (IC name should be written), OR IC, NOT IC etc.
ii) Jumper Wires
iii) DLD Trainer Board
iv) Logisim software
c) Theory:
In this section, you should briefly explain the theoretical background behind the
experiment. For example, if you use AND, NOT IC, then explain in short, the
circuit of these IC, logic functions, truth table and what is the output you may
get while using these ICs.

d) Problem/Design Solve Procedure:


There may be some problems/questions mentioned in the lab sheet. You have
to solve these using the Logisim software or in Hardware/DLD Trainer Board.
In this section, you have to write in details about how to solve these problems/or
what is the circuit behind the specific problems. So, you have to add:
i) Circuits you used to solve the specific problems.
ii) Circuit figure used in the simulation software (if you have used
software, then you should give the software’s schematic circuit
diagram by using snipping tool in your computer, handwritten
figure in this case is not allowed).
iii) Output of the circuits (Again if you have used software, then you
should give the software’s schematic circuit diagram with the
results by using snipping tool in your computer, handwritten figure
in this case is not allowed).

e) Discussion:
This is always the last section of a lab report. In this section, you have to write
about what you learnt throughout this experiment. What are the problems you
faced while experimenting and how these circuits can be used in real life.
Remember, Discussion is an important part of any lab experiment. So, a
well thought discussion section should be articulated while writing a lab
report.
