1.0 TITLE
Title of the experiment.

2.0 OBJECTIVE
State the purpose that describes the intention of the experiment, investigation or
accomplishment.

3.0 INTRODUCTION
Presents a short description of the experiment background information, the reason for doing
the workshop experiment.

4.0 CONTENTS
Experimental procedure: Apparatus setup, materials used, and procedure during handling the
machinery.
Results and discussion: Present the final product. Measurement error analysis must be shown
and explained. Use SI units only. Discuss your findings; make comparisons with known
information if available. Elaborate on possible sources of errors, defects and sensitivity of the
procedure applied. Propose any potential improvements in the project.
Conclusion: A summary of the main finding based on the results.

5.0 FORMATTING
The report should be about 5-6 pages, written by using Times New Roman, 12 font-size,
justify alignment, 1.5 spacing.
Tables and illustrations should be numbered according to subtopic. For example, for
figure under subtopic 2.0 will be as Figure 2.1 with caption title. Tables and illustrations
should be centred with illustration numbers written one blank line, centered, after the relevant
illustration. Table number written one line, centered, before the relevant table. Leave one
blank lines before the table or illustration.
Authors should appreciate the importance of good-quality illustrations. All graphs and
diagrams should be referred to, for example, Figure 1 in the text. In the text, tables and
figures should be referred to as Figure 1.1 and Table 1.1. A detailed caption should be
provided below each figure according to the following format:

Figure 1.1: A simple 2-D cantilever.

The International System of Units (SI) is to be used; other units can be used only after
SI indications, and should be added in parenthesis.
Equations should be typed, and all symbols should be explained within the manuscript.
An equation should be proceeded and followed by one blank line, and should be referred to,
in the text, in the form Equation (1).

y= A +Bx +Cx 2 (1)

Last point: the references. In the text, the references should be a number within square
brackets, e.g. [3], or [4]–[6] or [2, 3]. The references should be listed in numerical order at
the end of the paper.
6.0 REFERENCES
References must be numbered in which they are cited in the text using IEEE format. In the
text, the references should be a number within square brackets, e.g. [3], or [4]–[6] or [2, 3].
The references should be listed in numerical order at the end of the
