The importance of documenting engineering documents in project management
Submit a formal report including the following ten sections: 1. Title page, Acknowledgements, Table of contents 2. Executive Summary 3. Introduction 4. Literature review 5. Methodology Design 6. Data Collection 7. Discussion/Analysis- should be based on the finding outcome from the data in the excel. 8. Conclusions and/or Recommendations 9. Appendices 10. References The final report typically includes all material from the five assessments, organized for a formal presentation. You must not cut and paste, however, rather do the report so it would “tell the story” of your complete research work. Analysis (section 7) is new in this assessment. An analysis is two parts. Quantitative analysis would include all five statistical descriptors studied in class (mean, mode, median, standard deviation, and interquartile range); it is up to you how to apply the analysis to variables and questions. A qualitative analysis would be done based on a case study approach unless your project needs a grounded theory approach; identify codes and explain how they relate to your hypothesis and/or research questions. Use appendices to include any material that can be peripheral to presenting the main research story. For example, the instruments may sit in an appendix, so would some of the tables and figures in section 6. Reports are case dependent, and there is no set limit for a number of words or pages. However, previous experience suggests a report can be anything between 20 and 50 pages – quality not quantity. Harvard Referencing style.
