Design of the report

Information

1. Scope of application These recommendations establish requirements for the structure and rules for the preparation of reports on laboratory work performed by students of Perm State Technical University of full-time and part-time education in the laboratories of the Department of Automation of Technological Processes and Production.
2. Regulatory references These recommendations use references to the following standards: GOST 7.32 – 2001 Report on research work. Structure and rules of registration. GOST R 7.05 – 2008 Bibliographic reference. General requirements and rules compilation.
3. General provisions 3.1. Laboratory work report – a technical document that contains systematized data on laboratory work, describes the theory used in laboratory work, the progress of laboratory work, calculations and results obtained during laboratory work. 3.2. The report is compiled based on the results of the student’s laboratory work. 3.3. The student is responsible for the accuracy of the data presented in the laboratory report. 3.4. The report on laboratory work is subject to mandatory verification carried out by the teacher of the Department of ATP.
4. Structural elements of the report The structural elements of the laboratory work report are:

• title page;
• the purpose of the work;
• theoretical information;
• calculation and graphic part;
• conclusions on the work;
• list of used literature.

5. Requirements for the content of structural elements of the report 5.1. Title page 5.1.1. The cover page is the first page of the report on laboratory work and serves as a source of information necessary for searching and processing the document. 5.1.2. The title page of the laboratory report must contain the following data:

• name of the parent organization;
• name of the type of educational institution;
• name of the educational institution;
• department conducting laboratory work;
• laboratory work number;
• name of the laboratory work;
• data about the group and the student who performed the laboratory work;
• data about the teacher checking the student’s report on laboratory work;
• year and city Samples of the title pages of laboratory reports are given in Appendices A and B. 5.1.3. When the teacher checks student reports on laboratory work on the title page, the teacher writes down comments on the report. Therefore, if it is necessary to re-issue the report or make corrections to the content of the report, the title page remains the original (not replaced with a new one) so that the teacher sees all the previous comments during the secondary review of the report. 5.2. Purpose of the work 5.2.1. The laboratory work report must specify the purpose(s) of the laboratory work. It is allowed to specify the tasks into which the goal was divided. 5.3. Theoretical information 5.3.1. The report on laboratory work must specify theoretical information required to perform laboratory work. 5.3.2. At the end of the theoretical information, a description of the laboratory installation is placed. 5.4. Calculation and graphic part 5.4.1. At the beginning of the calculation and graphic part, the initial data on laboratory work are indicated. 5.4.2. All data, calculations and graphical constructions necessary to achieve the goal(s) of laboratory work are provided. 5.5 Conclusions on the work 5.5.1. The report on laboratory work must contain conclusions on laboratory work. 5.5.2. Conclusions on laboratory work should reflect the fact that the goal has been achieved laboratory work. 5.6. List of used literature The list of used literature is drawn up in accordance with GOST R 7.05 – 2008. Appendix B provides an example of the design of a bibliographic list. Note – the content of the reports given in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 is approximate and is determined specifically by the teacher, depending on the specifics of the discipline and laboratory work.

6. Rules for the design of the report 6.1. General requirements 6.1.1. In accordance with GOST 7.32 – 2001, the report on laboratory work is made out in any printed way on one side of a sheet of A4 white paper. at the discretion of the teacher, a handwritten version of the text is allowed. 6.1.2. In the report on laboratory work, an interval of 1.0 and 1.5 is allowed, a size of at least 12, alignment in width, indentation of the red line 1.0. 6.1.3. The font color must be black. 6.2. Numbering of report pages 6.2.1. The pages of the report should be numbered in Arabic numerals, observing the end-to-end numbering throughout the text of the report. The page number is placed at the bottom of each sheet in the center. 6.2.2. The title page is included in the general numbering of the report pages. The page number is not put down on the title page. 6.3. Numbering of sections and subsections of the report 6.3.1. Sections should have sequential numbers within the entire report, indicated by Arabic numerals. 6.3.2. Sections can be divided into subsections. The numbering of subsections is made up of the number of the section and subsection, indicated by a dot, for example, “1.1.”. At the end of the names of sections and subsections, a dot is not placed. 6.4. Illustrations 6.4.1. Illustrations are signed at the bottom with Arabic numerals separated by a space after the word “Figure” and have either through numbering or numbering in accordance with the sections of the report. 6.4.2. All illustrations (figures) must have a name that is indicated after the number of the illustration separated by a dash, for example, “Figure 1 – Block diagram

6.4.3. The captions of all illustrations are aligned in the center of the line. 6.5. Charts 6.5.1. The graphs should be clear. When making charts , it is necessary specify the designations of the coordinate axes and the graphs themselves. 6.5.2. If the graphs reflect a comparison of two experiments, it is recommended that they be performed in the same coordinate system. 6.6. Tables 6.5.1. In the report on laboratory work, end-to-end numbering of tables is recommended. Numbering of tables within the report section is allowed. In this case , the table number consists of the section number and the ordinal number of the table, separated by a dot. 6.5.2. Tables are numbered with Arabic numerals. 6.5.3. Tables are numbered with the word “Table” without the “No.” sign, for example, “Table 1”. 6.5.4. Each table should have a name that should be placed above the table on the left without paragraph indentation in one line with its number separated by a dash.
