LABORATORY REPORT GUIDELINES

FLUID MECHANICS (CLB 11003)

Each experimental report should contain the following items in accordance to the numbering as listed:

1. COVER PAGE
Please insert the LABORATORY REPORT SUBMISSION FORM as the front cover.
DOWNLOAD FROM E LEARNING (VLE)

2. TABLE OF CONTENTS
The table of content and number of pages should be in following format.
Note: Each page should be numbered.

Content Page Number

1.0 Summary

6.0 Tutorial
7.0 References & Appendices

3. SUMMARY
Give the summary (not more than one page) on the overall experimental report. Give brief
review on the objectives of the experiment, experimental procedures, main experimental results
and discussions which are deemed significant and finally conclusions obtained from the work.

4. RESULTS
Record down and present each of the experimental data and findings in the table
provided.
