The anatomy of a technical report
Technical engineering reports are divided into manageable sections to aid comprehension of the material.
In this video, Dr Andrew Garrard takes us through the key sections of a technical report and explains the content, style and presentation that each section requires.
Have you mastered this structure?
Once you’ve watched the video, have a go at structuring a report for yourself in our drag and drop game. You’ll be asked to put the title sections in order and then match them to the correct description. This works best on a laptop or desktop and may not work on mobiles and tablets.
