Guidelines to Seminar Report Writing
When in education, you need to convey your work in a succinct and structured manner to your assessors. This can make a difference to the outcome of your degree classification.
When at work, all engineers need to communicate with others in an unambiguous manner. This can have a profound effect upon successful completion of many projects, where teams of engineers are involved.
Good report writing can make a difference in your career progression.

The contents should be subjected to both spell and grammar checks.
In a technical report, the text should be written in impersonal third party format.
You should ensure that this does not cause confusion between what is your achievements and those of others that you have referred to in the text.
