Innovation Technology Report Project Proposal

1. Complete thorough research that aligns with their approved project proposal
   to find/create an innovative solution to a traditional problem in the
   construction industry.
   Document Criteria (Modified From OACETT)
   The Technology Report must communicate information in a standard, comprehensible
   way following acceptable structure, style, formatting and language choices.
   The following components should be included in the Technology Report:
2. Title Page including the Title, the student’s names, course name and number,
   student number, and the date of submission.
3. Declaration of Group Authorship showing the breakdown by % of what each
   student completed for each section of the report.
4. Copy of the approved proposal and the approval email from your Professor.
5. Abstract (or Executive Summary, not both) which is a brief summary
   (approximately 75 to 100 words) of the report’s introduction, problem statement,
   methodology, hypothesis, results, conclusion(s), and if applicable,
   recommendation(s).
6. Table of Contents
7. List of Illustrations

8. Introduction which answers the following questions:
   a. What is the industry or organization or context?
   b. What is included and/or omitted? What is the scope of the report and
   what procedures are used?
   c. Why was the work described in the Technology Report undertaken?
   d. What is the problem?
9. Methodology which outlines the steps taken to solve the problem.
10. Results/Data/Analysis which includes diagrams, charts, tables and other
    visual information as appropriate.
    10.Conclusion(s) which interpret(s) the data found in the results section.
    Conclusions are reasoned judgment and fact, not opinion. Conclusions consider
    all of the variables and relate cause and effect. Conclusions analyze, evaluate,
    and make comparisons and contrasts.
    11.Recommendation(s) (if applicable) suggest a course of action and are
    provided when there are additional areas for study, or if the reason for the
    Technology Report was to determine the best action going forward.
    12.Bibliography (Technical References)
    13.Appendices can include detailed calculations, tables, drawings,
    specifications, and technical literature.
    In addition to a standard structure, each Technology Report should follow acceptable
    style and language usage including:
11. The document should be typed, double-spaced using Arial, Univers, or a
    similar Sans Serif 12-point font.
12. The lines should be justified left, with pages numbered and appropriate page
    breaks.
13. Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar should be used.
14. Consistent voice, subject-verb agreement, and verb tenses should be used.
15. Jargon should be avoided if possible.
16. Acronyms should be explained.
17. References, footnotes, quotations, and paraphrasing should be used correctly.

    The body of the Technology Report, from the Introduction to the
    Recommendation(s), must contain at least 3000 words not including the
    Abstract, Bibliography (References) and Appendices.
18. Technology Report Content Quality
    The Technology Report should be a logical, methodical investigation into an
    engineering technology or applied science problem. Candidates should provide
    details of what was done in the study including what materials, equipment and
    procedures were used and why they were selected over other alternatives. If
    relevant, candidates should provide drawings, photographs and diagrams to
    support their work visually. Calculations should also be included if relevant.
    Additional calculations and references can be included in the Appendices rather
    than the Body of the report.
    When writing the report, students should assume their readers are from the same
    engineering technology or applied science discipline but may not necessarily be from
    the same specific area within that discipline.
