Engineering Notebook 2023

The document provides instructions for keeping an engineering design notebook. It outlines 14 rules for proper notebook organization and documentation, including having a table of contents, making entries in ink with drawings in pencil, not erasing mistakes, signing and dating entries, and numbering pages to allow work to be reconstructed later. Maintaining a thorough notebook is important for patent ownership and recreating engineering work over time.

Rules for Keeping an Engineering Design Notebook
1. On the Cover Page enter your name, and other information
needed to return the notebook to you in case it is lost.
2. Keep a table of contents at the front of the notebook.

3. All entries must be done in ink. Drawings must be done in


pencil.
4. Design notebooks do not have to be neat, but they must be
legible.
5. Make your entries at the time you do that work (not after the
fact).
6. If you make errors, just cross them out with an X or a single line.

7. Do not erase anything.

8. Never tear a page out of the notebook.

9. Rough drawings should be done directly in the notebook. More


careful drawings such as technical drawings or computer-
generated should be made and entered in the book.
10. Sign and date the notebook page at the space provided at the
bottom.
11. Have your design entries witnessed and have the witness sign
and date at the space provided.
12. Every page of the notebook must be numbered.

13. Work in order. This is a chronological record of your work. Date


all entries.

A good engineering design notebook is one that can be used to


reconstruct your work even years after you have completed the
original project. Other engineers should be able to use the notebook
to reconstruct your work period the notebook will be used to
determine the rightful owner of patents and other proprietary ideas.
