Project ___________ 

The report will be a technical document that you provide to your boss or customer. The report should be a complete documentation of the project. The intent is to provide all the information so the project can be duplicated or advanced. Your next contract depends on the quality of your presentation. 

Notice, keep a copy of the report for your records. Much of the information will be used on succeeding projects. This is called 'file-drawer' engineering.

All the information must be typed and printed on a 'laser-quality' printer.  

Keep It Simple, Sam!
