TITLE A Work Experience Report by Name Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Texas A&M University Course Name, Number and Section Semester Date Presented to Dr. Aydin I. Karsilayan Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Texas A&M University Approved by Supervisor’s Name and Signature Supervisor’s Title Company Name Company Address Supervisor’s Phone Supervisor’s E-mail ABSTRACT The abstract should give a brief statement of the objective or the problem addressed in the report. A concise summary of the results or conclusions should be included, touching upon methods or other details that are unique or of particular significance. The abstract should not be a short version of the introduction; the emphasis should be on the results and achievements. The abstract should appear by itself on a separate page. I. INTRODUCTION The introduction should outline the objectives and provide background information. It should lead the reader into the development of the subject and provide the reader with a clear understanding of the significance of the work described in the report. II. SECTION NAME The main argument or purpose of the report is carried out in the body, complete with pertinent theory and supporting data. The argument should proceed in a logical sequence according to a prepared outline. Supporting data and results should be presented in the form of figures and tables, which should be referenced within the body of the report at least once with some comments or explanations. Figures and tables should be placed on the same page where they are first referenced or on the page immediately following the page of first reference, and they should be numbered consecutively using Arabic and Roman numerals, respectively. An example for a table can be seen in Table I, whereas Fig. 1 shows a sample illustration with proper formatting.

Generalized Ackerberg-Mossberg biquadratic filter. A. Subsection Name Appropriate headings and subheadings should be used to distinguish between complete thoughts as they are presented. Each section of the body should have a main thought that is conveyed in paragraph form. 3 R/x R C Vi Vo R0 /z R/(1-x) (k-1)R0 yC (1-y)C R0 /(1-z) Fig. 2. Generalized Sallen-Key biquadratic filter. B. Subsection Name Mathematical equations that are presented should be numbered consecutively with the number enclosed in the text of the report. Detailed derivations should not be placed in the body of the report but should be included in the appendix. Equations should be referred as (1), not Eq. (1) or equation (1), except at the beginning of a sentence: Equation (1) shows… 2 cosh y 1 tanh y 1 z ln lim 1 sin 2 x cos 2 x 2n n 0 z 0 z (1) All references should be cited using the reference number in square brackets such as [1], not reference [1] or Ref. [1], except at the beginning of a sentence: Reference [1] shows… Multiple references may be cited as [2],[3], or [1]-[3]. When citing a book, relevant page numbers should also be provided. More sections/subsections may be added as needed. All text should be justified in the entire report. IV. CONCLUSION The conclusion is often considered the most important part of the report, and should be stated concisely. The conclusion should follow logically from the material presented in the body of the report and should not require "new" information for clarification or additional support. If you find you must include "new material" in the conclusion section, it is probably because something was omitted from the body of the report. APPENDIX Detailed mathematical proofs, derivation of an equation, detailed line drawings, photographs, raw data, computer printouts, and examples of work output which are subordinate to the main argument of the purpose in the body of the report should be placed in the Appendix. Each item in the Appendix should be given a title. Equations, figures, and tables located in the Appendix should be numbered consecutively following the equations, figures, and tables used in the text of the report. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS If needed, acknowledgements can be made in this section. REFERENCES It is suggested that at least five different references be used. Encyclopedias, textbooks, and manuals should be used only for fundamental aspects. Current periodicals provide the most recent information. The reference list enables the reader to consult important works used by the writer in the preparation of the report. It is also an invaluable tool for enabling the writer to make statements of fact without lengthy justifications; this is a must in order to achieve the necessary brevity. References should be numbered consecutively, using Arabic numerals enclosed in brackets, in the order used in the text of the report. The list below shows a list of sample references that can be replaced with the actual ones. Upon hitting “Enter” on the keyboard after entering a reference, a new number will be created automatically. [1] G. O.
