We strongly recommend that you download and use the MS Word template [here](https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). You should list your entire team by name in an acknowledgements section. +During analysis week, you will complete this [template](./final-report-template.qmd) to help you as you in the writing process. + There is no minimum page length for the report, but most reports will be at least 7-8 pages, with approximately one page per section (with each individual sensor getting a full page of text). Your report must not exceed ten pages, including all figures, references, and appendices. Fonts and heading sizes follow the sizes specified in the IEEE template. You may consider the following target lengths for the sections of your report: The purpose of your report is to convey your experiments, your apparatus, and your results such that a reader could replicate your experiment and compare their results to yours. You should assume your audience is made of technical professionals of diverse backgrounds (i.e., not all instructors of the course) who are unfamiliar with your specific project.
