Matlab Project Report Format

EECS 360

Spring 2006

The purpose of the Matlab projects in EECS 360 is to illustrate concepts of signal and system analysis using computers. Your reports should document the rationale for the project, how the project was executed, the results, and an interpretation of the results, lesson learned. The reports should show an understanding of the signal and system concepts under investigation. A formal report is expected.

Follow the outline given below for EECS 360 reports:

1. Statement of objectives.

2. Discussion of the strategy for achieving the objectives, that is, present the processes used to obtain the results.

3. Presentation and interpretation of the results.

4. Conclusions and lessons learned

5. References

Appendix (To include your commented MATLAB code)

The length of each of these sections will vary. Be concise and neat, the goal is to communicate the results of your efforts. Think about the reader as you are constructing your reports.

Format for figures and tables.

1) Each figure/table should be placed as close to the first reference to it in the text as possible. Placing the figure/table on a separate page following the first reference to it in the text is permissible.

2) Each figure/table must have a title.

3) All axis on graphs must be labeled.

4) Each figure/table should be self contained, that is, the title, axis labels, and other information in the figure/table should provide the reader enough information to interpret the item.

5) DO NOT PAD THE REPORT! YOU WILL LOSE POINTS FOR INCLUDING MATERIAL NOT DISCUSSED IN THE TEXT OR NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ASSIGNMENT.
