 ASSIGNMENT 1

Assignment Title:

Writing a Technical Report on "The Evolution of Computer Technology"

Aim : The task is to produce a technical report based on “The Evolution Of Computer
Technology”.

Objective: The purpose of this assignment is to assess students’ ability to create a well-
structured and formatted technical report using Microsoft Word. Students will
demonstrate proficiency in document formatting, text structuring, referencing, and the
use of various Word processing features.

Requirement of the report:

1. The numbering of sections, figures and pages should follow the appropriate
conventions.
2. The language style should be appropriate to a formal engineering report.

Specific Instructions

1. Title Page
• As the title page make sure it includes the relevant details:
• The name and number of the course (AJB21602: Microcomputer
Application)
• The required submission date
• Your name and ID number
• An appropriate title for the report

2. Abstract
• The Abstract should be no longer than 300 words. – Summarize the key
point of the reports.

3. Main Body
• Early developments in computer technology

2
 • Major breakthroughs and milestones
• The rise of personal computers and modern computing
• The impact of AI and emerging technologies in the aviation industry

4. Section and subsection.

• Each of the evolutions should appear on a different page with a suitable
heading e.g introduction, objectives, background section, findings,
references that can be used to create a table of contents.
• Under each heading there should be a few lines describing the
characteristics of the computer technology.
• Apply the headings and subheadings using Styles.
• Headings should match the numbering in importance, so a main heading
should have a major notation; 1 Main Heading, 1.1 Lesser Heading, 1.1.1
Small Heading

5. References

description using the built-in Word features.
• Reference can then be made to the figure from within the written report.

8. Submission Requirements:
• Submit the document in .docx format.
• File name format: StudentID_Name_TechReport.docx.
• Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Ensure your report is original and properly
cited.
