The graduation project should adhere as much as possible to the following template and format.

 Title Page
 Abstract
 Table of Contents
 Introduction
 Main Body
 References
 Appendices (as needed)

The main body of the project report should be organized according to the following general
outline :

 Introduction. A general introduction providing an overview of the topic, problem


statement and the project description followed by an adequate scholarly context for
subsequent chapters. This chapter should be ended with a section that states verbally
without numbering or bullet points the contents of the following chapters. (The rest of this
report is organized as follows … chapter 1 consists of …)

 Data. A survey of the state of the art concerning the subject under consideration. Also a
sample of the literature that relates to the subject should be reviewed and its involved
research should be summarized (Research aim and research achievement). . This
chapter should be ended with a section where the project description is given in
theory.

 Conclusion/Discussion. Conclusions are presented to validate both the need for the study
and explain how the present study solved the problem stated.
 Recommendations

Remark: The structure and the contents of the main chapters may vary depending on the nature of
the project but should always be agreed upon with the supervisor.
ABSTRACT

The report must begin with a one- to two-paragraph abstract (max 350 words) that orients the reader
as to the contents as well as to the major sections of the report. The abstract, by itself, must provide
enough information about the project so that the reader can judge simply by reading this portion if
he or she wants to read further.

For example, as an abstract for this document, this document has been prepared by the College of
Engineering and Technology to help Undergraduate students in preparing their final year project
report. The document presents a general outline for these documents as well as the formatting that
students must abide to. Also, the exact method for citation and referring to literature related to your
work is detailed.

INTRODUCTION

This document was developed in order to standardize the method of writing projects and
to fulfill the requirements for the basic criteria required for the preparation of the projects
are as listed below:
1. The projects should not be dependent whole on internet information.
2. Images/figures … etc. should be referenced.
3. The experimentation, if any, should be subject to review of the work done, results
obtained, implications, conclusions, reflections … etc.
4. The text format should be consistent between chapters and the standard of English
used in the text should not be varied.
5. The project should contain case study /examples 2/3 slides.
6. The literature review should not be more than an account of the work undertaken by
students.
7. The conclusions should not be very short.

The details of how to format your document correctly and how to include your citations
and references are given in the following chapters of this document.

REFERENCING

The report should be based on the student’s own work and in case of using any parts or
copying any figures or diagrams from previous work this should be properly referenced
according to the format explained below.

A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list should
be arranged in the order of citation in text, not in alphabetical order. List only one
reference per reference number.

Each reference number should be enclosed by square brackets. In text, citations of


references may be given simply as “in [1] . . .” rather than as “in reference [1] . . .”

2
Similarly, it is not necessary to mention the authors of a reference unless the mention is
relevant to the text. It is almost never useful to give dates of references in text. These will
usually be deleted by Staff Editors if included.

Footnotes or other words and phrases that are not part of the reference format do not
belong on the reference list. Phrases such as “For example,” should not introduce
references in the list, but should instead be given in parentheses in text, followed by the
reference number, i.e., “For example, see [5].”
