Design report—written

Since we are a research center, many of our requirements are unique and evolving. Therefore, although we favor use of commercial specific/bundled systems where possible, we are more often than not funneled into the in-house option. The software system designed and written in-house and which is adapted for most of our applications is called MARS, an acronym for Management, Analysis, and Reporting System. 

Karen has been informed that the evaluation and report should be limited to the state of New Jersey. While conducting her research on past data, Karen comes across a remedial design report on a solid waste landfill that was written 20 years ago. Karen does not plan to use the report in her evaluation, but she reads it out of curiosity to learn how it might pertain to her project. In her reading, Karen discovers that a contractor employed by EPA had made some evaluation mistakes in the remedy chosen to protect the environment. 

Safety auditors should collect the following safety facilities and non-fmancial information related to the project (1) the written request for the project construction units (2) safety preassessment report (3) safety specific report and relevant documentation about project preliminary design (4) written approval of preliminary design safety fadhties of construction projects (5) the project completion report and related construction drawings (6) the safety assessment report (7) safety faciUties construction project completion and acceptance approval letter (8) technicd indicator information apphes to the audited entity s safety faciUties three simultaneous . Safety facilities "three simultaneous" can be audited by audit, supervision, observation, inquiry, confirmation, calculation, analysis and review and other conventional methods of audit. Due to the comprehensive and technology of safety audit project, safety auditors should also use cost-benefit analysis and economic evaluation of safety and other methods. 

SRI Design Reports SRI, a consortium of several hundred chemical companies, publishes documentation of many chemical processes in considerable detail. While their reports provide a wealth of information, most are written under contract for clients, and consequently, are not available to the public. Yet, some materials are available online, by subscription, to the public. Furthermore, most industrial consultants have access to these reports and may be able to provide helpful information to student design teams, especially those who carry out some of the design work in company libraries. 

I Party Written Design Report and Oral Presentation... 

In this chapter, readers have been presented with a template and associated milestones that must be completed, for guidance in the preparation of the written design report. No exercises are included because the template is intended to be used by design teams when writing their written reports. 

Following a sanple student design report, this chapter offers models of both strong and weak written communication in several formats memoranda, visual aides, and short design reports. A checklist of common errors is provided. (Available on the acconpanying CD.)... 

The format for presenting a written design report differs from that of a laboratory report. A laboratory report is more of a scholarly endeavor in which a scientific story is told starting with theory, proceeding through results, discussion, and conclusion. It is usually assumed that the reader will read the entire report. In a design report, the most inportant conclusions should appear early in the report, with more detail presented for the reader who reads further into the report. Such is the way of business, where you must effectively convey the bottom line to someone who may not have the time to read the entire report. 

This follows the outline of the results section of a written report described in the document tided Written Design Reports. However, there are a few inportant points to remember. First, a detailed stream flow table will not be easily seen or understood by your audience. Second, what is effectively communicated in a table in a written report might be best communicated orally using a graph or pie chart. Avoid using conplex tables and figures with small print. These can neither be seen in the back of the room nor digested by anyone. 

All of the rules on figures and tables in the document entitled Written Design Reports extend to oral presentations. 

The format and rules for presenting figures, tables (use sparingly if at all in oral presentation), equations, etc., are identical to those in the document Written Design Reports. 

With regards to the design report itself, it was observed that additional student exposure to design writings was needed. This took the form of example report sections, written by the second author, that were shared with the students. While these helped, they did not alleviate the experience shortfall or the students apprehension with preparing the design report. New possibilities will be explored before the course is offered again. 

You should set up a common entry point for such data and put in place an evaluation function to convey appropriate data to the manufacturing, engineering, and design activities. A corrective action form or improvement form could be used to convey the data and obtain a written response of the action to be taken. A log of servicing reports would assist in tracking servicing concerns and demonstrate you were making effective use of the data. 

Reference 2 is a well written report that discusses power plant coal utilization in great detail. It gives a thermal efficiency of 80-83% for modem steam generation plants and 37-38% thermal efficiency for modem power generating plants at base load (about 70%). A modem base load plant designed for about 400 MW and up will run at steam pressures of 2,400 or 3,600 psi and 1,000°F with reheat to 1000°F and regenerative heating of feedwater by steam... 

The series Microtechnology and MEMS comprises text books, monographs, and state-of-the-art reports in the very active field of microsystems and microtechnology. Written by leading physicists and engineers, the books describe the basic science, device design, and applications. They will appeal to researchers, engineers, and advanced students.
