Behavior in the Lab
In the lab be aware of equipment safety and people working around you.
Equipment will be ready when you enter the lab. If you need additional
equipment, please let the lab instructor know this. If equipment breaks
down or does not function properly, please inform the lab instructor.
Report ANY injuries to the lab instructor immediately. Any unsafe or
deliberately harmful act can result in loss of grade and dismissal from
the lab.
Turning in Reports
Reports are due at times specified (not a lab instructor). Usually, lab
reports will be due one week after the lab and collected in class. If the
report is not handed in on time, it is late. Points are taken as follows:
Up to 24 hours from the due date, 10 %
24 to 48 hours from the due date, 20 %
Any kind of late reports cannot be accepted if the graded reports have
already been returned to the students.
Plagiarism on any assignment will result in a grade of zero on the
assignment.

Lab ……….
• Lab report is individual, though the lab data could
be “group”.
• Group data: at the end of the lab, write down the
names of a group ( who use the same data set for
lab report).
• Sign-up sheet

Report Format - ASME paper format
