An abstract is a summary of your project report that you write after you
have completed your research AND have written your project report. Your
abstract must be clearly written and concise and must not include
references/tables/ graphs/images. Your explanations must follow a logical
sequence. Do not cite references or refer to figures or tables in the
abstract. Write out full sentences and paragraphs, it must not be in point
form. It must be displayed at the beginning of your Report File as well as
in your Official Documents File. It is written in the third person and in past
tense.
Purpose
Begin by identifying the aim of your research. In many cases, you might
begin by stating the question you sought out to investigate and your
variables/functions/ mathematical relationships. State the Hypothesis (if
applicable). For Engineering Projects, what were the Engineering Goals
and design criteria?
Method
Briefly describe procedure used. Mention and explain the numerical
approaches/ equations/ assumptions/ proofs you used to approach the
research question and how you did it (Mathematics) or the
engineering/computer science study method used in testing the
engineering goal/ algorithm (Engineering and Computer Science Projects),
that you used to solve the problem. Don’t list materials used but rather
mention them while explaining your method. For Social Sciences projects:
Describe the participants in the study. State how many participants took
part and how they were selected, and the instruments you used to answer
the research question.
Results
Give a brief summary of the main results, the ones that align with your
aim.
