    Bianca Gonzales
    The document provides the formatting guidelines for laboratory reports submitted for the CEE 330 - Environmental Engineering course at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. It specifies that reports must be typed, double-spaced, and submitted by the due date to avoid penalties. Reports will include an executive summary for some experiments and a full report for others. The full reports will go through a draft and revision process with instructor feedback. Each report section includes an objective, introduction, method, data and results, discussion and conclusions, and appendices. The executive summary is limited to one page and includes a brief description of key elements at a high level. Completeness, accuracy, brevity, and writing skills are evaluated.

    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering CEE 330 - Environmental Engineering

    LABORATORY REPORT FORMAT General information: All laboratory reports must be typed (double-spaced) to be accepted. All reports must be completed in order to pass the course. Reports received after the stated due-date will be penalized 10% per day late. Spelling, grammar, and style are important considerations in the report grading scheme. Completeness, accuracy, and brevity are essential. The goal of the reports and instructor feedback is to help the students improve their writing skills. You will turn in five individual reports. Two of the reports will be full-length and three will only include an executive summary. Reports for pH/Alkalinity, Phosphate, and Coliform Bacteria will be executive summary only. Reports for Suspended Solids and BOD will be full-length plus executive summary. The full length reports will be submitted, graded, revised, and resubmitted for final grading. Steps: 1) Student prepares report in final draft quality and includes a filled out checklist on Grading Rubric & Self Evaluation sheet, 2) Instructor reviews draft report and returns report with comments as well as draft score on Grading Rubric & Self Evaluation sheet, 3) Students revise reports incorporating suggestions, fill out self-evaluation of report and revisions, and turn in final report, 4) Instructor completes Grading Rubric with final score. Specific information: Each report should include the following sections: 1. 2. 3. Title Page. This page should include the report title, your name, your group member's names, the name of the class, and the date. Objective. Briefly state the purpose of the experiment including the experimental values that will be measured and/or determined and for what samples. Should not exceed two or three sentences. Introduction. This is an important section and sets the tone for a good report/paper or a mediocre one. This section should explain the relevance of the method performed and the parameters determined. You should establish a link between the parameters studied and their importance to practical application in the "real world." To what process(es) and environment(s) does the parameter most commonly apply (i.e. wastewater, natural water, drinking water, etc.) and what are typical and expected values? What are the regulations for this parameter? Discuss theory of method (how it works, what reacts to form what). Method. This section should include the steps performed in the experiment in a "bullet" list format. Try to isolate all specific steps and routine quantities but keep is simple. You must refer to the Standard Method (i.e. Method No. 2540 D). List equipment used (number, size, model #, etc.). Show the equations used. Show/explain the detection limits of the methods. Include either photos or drawings of equipment/apparatus. Data and Results. Summarize the data obtained during the experiment in tables. Do not forget to include units for all quantities. Provide all calculated results (including intermediate calculated values) in tables and/or graphs. Be sure to use the correct number of significant digits (based upon detection limits). Discussion and Conclusions. Describe the key results in sentence format. Did the analyses result in the quantities that you expected? If duplicates or triplicates were measured for the same sample, calculate statistics and compare and discuss any discrepancies. Compare your results with typical/expected values and regulations. Are the results acceptable/normal for the type of sample?, are the regulations met? Briefly discuss potential causes for inaccuracy/error in the results (and expected magnitude), or deviations from the standard protocol of the analyses. Appendix I: This should include all relevant formulas and sample calculations. Show each calculation once. This should be written by hand. Appendix II: This should include a photocopy of the original, dated sheet(s) that you recorded your data on at the time of performing the experiment. This is an important reference for identifying miscalculations, etc.

    Executive summaries: An executive summary must be limited to one page, single-spaced. It includes a brief description of the objective, the relevance of the analysis (why it is important), the methods used, typical values and regulations, the results (but no tables or raw data), and a detailed discussion of the conclusions. The Executive summary contains all of the necessary information for an executive (who may not be familiar with the experiment) to make a decision based upon a convincing and logical discussion of the findings.
