Paper details: TECHNICAL REPORT PROJECT (350 POINTS)PURPOSE
On the job, you may be assigned to evaluate a new assembly technique on the production line or to locate and purchase the best equipment at the best price. You might have to identify the cause behind a monthly drop in sales, the reasons for low employee morale, the causes of an accident, or the reasons for equipment failure. You might need to assess the feasibility of a proposal for a company’s expansion or merger investment. In many cases, you will be asked to present your findings in a formal report.
ASSIGNMENT DETAILS
REPORT TOPICS
Prepare a formal report on a current engineering, scientific, health or business challenge. Find a topic that interests you or is important to your studies at MSOE or future career. When you select your topic, makes sure there is adequate literature to support your topic. All topics require prior approval. Once your topic is approved, they may not be changed.
REPORT AUDIENCE
The target audience for your project is your classmates. They probably have limited understanding of your topic, so be sure to write at an appropriate level of technicality for them.
REPORT FORMAT
Final report must be about 3,000 words total, use at least eight credible sources, and follow the APA documentation style. Failure to cite sources, paraphrased or not, will result in automatic failure for this course (i.e., do not plagiarize).
REPORT TYPES
Technical reports are designed to address a specific research problem. The reader should be able to trace your inquiry, your evidence and your reasoning to see exactly how you arrived at your conclusions or recommendations. Therefore, your report should not merely summarize the information you collect about the problem; rather, you will want to interpret, analyze, and explain the information to help the audience understand the problem.
