Abstract
• Provide 150 words, or less, briefly describing the function and overall design of your project along with main results.
• Avoid introductory material such as background, competitors, and motivation—save that for Introduction.
• Don’t give a sales pitch.• Do not include in Table of Contents.

Figures and Tables
• Three placement options:– Same page as first citation in text, or
first possible page after– Separate section at end of each chapter– Separate chapter (not an appendix) at
end of main text
![Page 24: Preparing Your Final Report for ECE 445, Senior Design](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56812ec9550346895d94692c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Figures and Tables
• Cite every figure and table directly in the text (e.g.: “Figure 1 shows …” not “The following schematic shows …”).
• Number figures in order of their citation in text.
• Use whole number (1,2,3 …) or single-decimal (1.1, 1.2, … 2.1, 2.2 …) system.

Figures and Tables
• Convey the information economically.• Make them neat and legible, and
stay within 1-inch margins.• Label axes, rows, columns.• Write neat, concise captions.

Figures and Tables
• As much as possible, anchor them at tops and bottoms of pages with text wrapping.
• Do not pin them to text citations, resulting in scattered figures interspersed with short passages of text—as if narrating a slide show.

Appendices
• Reserve for detailed technical material that, while it may be important, is secondary or would disrupt the project description of the main text.
• Examples: Requirement & verification table (required), large data tables, lengthy code, sets of schematics, etc.
