Introduction
This section should begin with an explicit statement that tells the reader what type of document this is and what specifically is being reviewed. For example, your first sentence might be something like “This paper investigates some sources of movement error in the DE2Bot and how they affect straight-line movements and in-place turns” (be sure to change that reflect your actual assignment). The purpose of this first section is to introduce the reader to the concepts and theory that they need to understand before the specific technology is explained in subsequent sections of the document. You may need to define terms and summarize the technology in order to create a context for what is being reviewed and how it is used. However, keep in mind the purpose of the document, and put that information in the body, using the introduction only for additional background information. This section can be organized using descriptive subheadings if necessary, and information can be conveyed graphically (figures, tables, equations) and with use of bullets and enumerated lists, when appropriate. Cite all sources according to IEEE guidelines.
Body Heading
The body of the document starts here. Use descriptive headings and subheadings (not “Body Heading”). You should consider the overall scope of the document, and organize your information in a sensible way. Use headings for large, general areas of information, and subheadings for smaller-scale organization within headings. Check the assignment sheet for any required sections, but beyond that, you should use whatever headings you feel are important..
You can use text here, after a heading but before a subheading, to give technical information about the section as a whole, but most information should be organized within subheadings.
Descriptive Subheading
Be sure that your information is as easy to understand as possible. Cite sources! Include figures, tables, diagrams, etc., and be sure to cite them if you didn’t make them yourself.
Another Body Heading
For a document of this length, two to four major headings should be sufficient. If you find yourself using more than that, investigate how you can better group your information in to large categories.
Descriptive Subheading
Information.
Sub-Subheading, if needed
You should not need to go beyond this level of subheading. If you feel like you do, reorganize your information instead.

Appendices(You don’t need this page - see next page for an example coversheet)
If necessary, include material that is needed to understand your report but is too lengthy to incorporate into the body of the document. Include a separate cover page for each Appendix and group materials according to “like kind” within each Appendix. For example, Appendix A could contain oscilloscope screen captures, Appendix B could contain one set of VHDL code, Appendix C could contain data sheet printouts, and so forth.
You don’t need to paginate the Appendices since it may be difficult to add page numbers to printouts, worksheets, and other such materials. However, if an appendix contains more than one piece of information, do label the figures and tables using the usual format, starting back at ‘1’, such as “Figure 1.Simulation waveform of XYZ circuit.” This is important so that you can refer to (for example) Figure 3 in Appendix A and the reader will know exactly where to find it and what to look at.

Note: Appendix cover sheets and pages do not need to have page numbers.
