INTRODUCTION

It is apparent that for most electrical engineering faculty and academic administrators that possessing a Professional Electrical Engineer license is not an essential qualification for a position on the faculty of an electrical engineering department. In most cases, it is not a factor in achieving tenure, promotion, or higher salary. The real issue and question, then is this: Is the teaching of electrical engineering truly a professional practice in and of itself? If one considers only the mathematical or scientific elements associated with electrical engineering courses, the answer is probably “NO."

INTRODUCTION

However, if one considers the teaching of electrical engineering to include preparing the student to enter the marketplace with attitudes and ethical principles embodied by true professionals, and certain fundamental technical skills, I argue the answer would be "YES." It is in this context that I encourage fellow electrical engineering faculty members to attend and take the first step in becoming a Registered Professional Electrical Engineer.

Purely narrative report is not acceptable

Avoid plagiarism

If an author has written something particularly well,

on their own words are for some reason significant,

then put their words in quotes and give an

appropriate citation

Provide complete references to all works used, and

cite these in the document where you use this

information, use footnotes, if necessary


Make the number of pages of the technical report

the least possible (the board is not impressed with

a very thick report)

Avoid unnecessary and irrelevant data including

figures/charts/tables not referred to in the

discussions

Attach single line diagrams/graphs/charts only that will

be used in the discussions

Specify references/sources of tables/graphs/charts


The PEE affidavits shall specify expiry date of the

PRC license card of the affiant

Attach a copy of the PRC license card of the

affiant

Use the latest picture in the comprehensive

biodata (taken not more than six [6] months from

the date of filing of the application)

PEE applicant must be wearing COAT & TIE in

the passport picture


Proofread your work! Nothing looks less

professional than a document filled with spelling

errors, missing words, sentence fragments, missing

figures, wrong grammar, etc.

Make sure of the correct page layout/sequence

prior to bookbinding

REPORT FORMAT

AND STYLE

Paper

• Use white, substance 24, A4 paper. Erasable paper

tends to smudge and should be avoided for a final

document.

Type-Face and Size, Printing

otherwise.

• The technical report should be written in 12 pt.

Verdana font.

• Unless otherwise specified, use the same type-face

and size throughout the document; including

• Top margin – 1 inch above the first line of type

• Right and bottom margin – should be at least 1

inch

• Indentions – first line of paragraph (.7)

• You don't have to place the number i on the title

page. Just count it and put ii on the second page

of your report.

Pagination cont‟d…

• Beginning with the first page of the text and

continuing to the end of the manuscript

– number pages in sequence in Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3,

etc.);

– place at the top of the page, at the right margin (1”

down from the top edge and 1” from the right edge).

Spacing

• One and a half-space the main body of the report

• Single-space long quotations, tables, footnotes,

endnotes, figure labels and bibliography entries

• Three single spaces between entries (sub headings)

Main Headings

• Main headings of front matter (summary,

acknowledgement, tables of content, figures and

appendices) as well as the bibliography or

references must be positioned one inch from the

top margin.

• All main headings must be capitalized and

centered across the page.

Chapter Headings and Titles

• Each chapter of the technical report must begin on

a separate page.

• The chapter heading must be placed one inch from

the top margin, centered, capitalized followed by

Roman Numerical to indicate the chapter number.

• The chapter title must be placed three single

spaces below the chapter heading, centered, and

capitalized.

Section Headings and Titles

• Each section of the technical report, with the

exception of the first section for each chapter,

should begin ½ inch from the previous section.

• The very first section in a chapter should be

positioned after the three single spaces from the

chapter title.

• Section titles should be left aligned, italicized, and

lower-case capitalizing only the first letter of each

word.

Figures, Tables and Equations

• All figures, tables and equations must be scaled to

fit within the standard margins.

• Figure captions must appear at the bottom of the

figure, centered across the page

• Title of a table goes above the table.

• In the text of the technical report, figures should

be referred to as, for example, Fig. 1.

Figures, Tables and Equations cont’d…

• Figures, exclusive of those in the appendix, must

be numbered consecutively throughout the report

using Arabic numbers.

• Equations are presented at the center of the page.

• Equation number is placed inside round brackets

at the right-hand margin.

• In the text of the report, refer to the equations as

either Eq. (1) or equation (1). Use whichever format

you choose consistently throughout your report.

Numbers and Unit Conventions

• For numbers less than 10, spell it out and enclosed

the number in a bracket, unless they are

measurements (and units, if any, must be specified)

• Use a consistent format for units

– do not randomly use “V,” “Volts,” and “volts” in the

document

Numbers and Unit Conventions cont’d…

• Specify the units when necessary and be aware of

the correct abbreviation

– kW for kilowatt, not KW nor Kw

– kV for kilovolts, not KV nor Kv

– kVAr for kilovolt-ampere reactive, not KVAR nor kVAR

– MVA for megavolt-ampere, not Mva nor mVA nor mVa

– MWh for megawatthour, not MWH nor mWh

References

• The list of reference should be given at the end of

the text arranged according to citation.

• Direct citations of a reference in the text are

made by indicating first the author‟s surname

followed by the reference number enclosed in

square brackets (e.g. “The scheme was proposed

by Dela Cruz [9]”).

References cont’d…

• References may also be indirectly cited for cases

in which the author is not the subject of the

sentence by indicating only the reference number

enclosed in square brackets (e.g. “An iterative

scheme has been used to solve this type problem

[9].)

Notes on Voice and Tone

Good writing in engineering adheres to the following

principles:

• Stay objective. Eliminate opinions and (“I think” or

“I feel”) from your writing so that the emphasis

remains on the technical and scientific processes

and facts.

• Remain mostly in the third person, passive voice.

• Use past tense and present tense appropriately.

Notes on Voice and Tone cont’d…

• State clear facts precisely and avoid flowery

language.

• For the most part, eliminate adverbs and

adjectives, which can interfere with the precise,

clear, and straightforward writing needed to

communicate technical and scientific processes.
