Final Training Report Format
The purpose of your training is to provide you with an opportunity to practice various
engineering principles in the real world. In addition, it should provide you with an
understanding of how technology-based organizations operate. Please follow the format below
in writing your Final Training Report. our report should demonstrate what you learned and
accomplished during your training. Typical length of the core of the final report is
appro!imately "# to $% pages. &upporting material should be relegated to appendices. The
report should illustrate that the training was commensurate with the level of effort and learning
in a summer session.
