lab report是理工科同学接触的非常多的作业了,做完实验后,我们需要将实验数据和结果整理成书面形式,并就结果进行分析,看是否符合理论。实验报告视实验的情况,可大可小,可简单可复杂,EssayPhD团队在这方面有相当多的经验,拥有机械、材料、生物、化学、物理等各专业的写手储备,我们以一篇简单的机械材料类的lab report——HEAT TREATMENT OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS(铝合金的热处理)为例,看看lab report的书写有哪些要点。
一般来说,lab report的结构无外乎这些:
TITLE PAGE:
- Title of lab
- Course code
- Section number with group letter
- Date the lab was preformed
- Date the lab was submitted
- TA’s name
- Group member names, student numbers and signatures
ABSTRACT:
- Objective
- Introduction
- Experimental procedure
- Results
- Conclusion
- Approx. 200 words
INTRODUCTION:
- Discuss in general any theory involved in the lab and the main objective
- Why is the lab significant?
APPARATUS/EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
- List of equipment and materials used
- If procedure was the exact same as manual procedure then just reference the manual, otherwise state the differences
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
- Graphs, tables, figures, etc.
- Answers to questions in lab manual (if applicable)
CONCLUSIONS:
- Restate important results
- Discuss any interesting results found and why
- Point out any possible sources of error and ways to reduce these errors in the future
REFERENCES:
- Proper IEEE format
- Use textbooks as much as possible (try to avoid Wikipedia and Google searches)
APPENDIX:
- Actual raw data sheet obtained during the lab stapled to the back of the report
- Sample calculations (if any)
个人认为,最关键的部分就是result and discussion部分了。这部分是记录实验数据,并且将数据通过计算处理、图表可视化,然后就数据结果进行阐释。这部分的源头是数据,所以一定要确保数据的准确完整。各位有需要的同学,也务必记得这一点,毕竟巧妇难为无米之炊,数据编造的可行性太低了!
