Many organizations that employ engineers have standardized their calculation
methods for project progress reports. This is done to facilitate communication
within the organization and to provide better control of work quality. Standardization
permits routine checking of work as well as the opportunity to switch people
to the tasks that are the most urgent.
In your career at Cal Poly you have used a variety of report formats. Some of these were quite structured and others were not. Now that you are a staff member with CAL CHEM Corporation, we would like you to use our style of reporting. The format is designed to facilitate the communication of information to your supervisor (instructor).
An engineering report is usually written to tell someone (fellow engineers, supervisor, etc.) about work you have done. Frequently, you will have been given a problem and will be responding with your answer or solution to the questions raised by the request. You should give your recommended solution, supporting evidence, and your opinion of the solution, at the least. You may want to tell other things as well, but there is no reason to load up the report with unnecessary information from standard texts or minute detail that is of no value to the reader. The written report should follow the format given in the lab manual .(Back to Top)
Experimental study of chemical engineering unit operations using table top and pilot scale equipment. Typical systems studied include those involving heat transfer, distillation, absorption, humidification, and chemical reactions. (Back to Top)
