WRITTEN PROGRESS REPORT OUTLINE
The written progress report shall be one page in length plus attachments. The following is the
outline:
Heading:
Progress Report for Period Ending_____________________________
Title of Project
Name of Engineer
Summary Description of Project: Limit: 2-3 sentences.
Status of project relative to the Gantt Chart:
Identify Key accomplishments
Describe plan for problem resolution
Describe any upcoming test plans and/or ideas
Objectives for next reporting periods
Attach updated milestone or Gantt chart and expenditure profile.
Appendices:
Include all pertinent information which does not fit easily into the one page report.
See example report Appendix III
PROGRESS REPORT
Period Ending March 10, 1992
Project : Lawn sprinkler Control System
Description: A Sprinkler Control System which monitors ground humidity and turns on
the water when the humidity level drops below the desired level.
Status:
Design:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Circuit Designs are slightly behind schedule. They are about 80% complete. This delay
was caused by the senior design changes.
Procurement of parts is also affected by the changes but no major setback is anticipated.
Assemblies are expected to be delayed by one week.
Currently preparing for the upcoming Design Review.
Cost
As projected
Key Accomplishments
1. Finalized sensor design
2. Procured parts for sensor circuits
Problems Encountered
Hygristor is coated and can not be touched (especially when moist). Will have to design
a special container which will suspend the device and protect it from external contacts.
Upcoming Test Plan
1. Software Testing
2. Operation of humidity detection circuit will have to simulated using variable resistor
Next Report
1. All circuit designs done
2. Software Program Tested
3. Humidity detection simulated completed

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
TEXT...............................................................................................3
FIGURES.........................................................................................3
Include Block Diagrams of any significant portion the circuit. A schematic of the
entire project must be included.
All requirements and specifications must be included in tabular form for each
subassembly with all values and tolerances.
III.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY OR PHILOSOPHY....................................................NO LIMIT
A description of the approach must be given with all significant choices and
decisions shown with justification. No guesses or speculation are acceptable
here as part of this report.
IV.
TEST PLAN..........................................................................................................1
Describe in detail how you will show that the circuit meets all specifications
V.
APPENDIX.............................................................................................................NO LIMIT
All hand calculations must be shown here and referenced to the Design
Notebook. If no hand calculations with justification are shown the grade
will be marked down one grade. The computer simulations alone are not
acceptable.
