Engineering lab report

Hedgecutter

I'm a mature student and I have to submit a lab report soon. Iv no idea what a lab report should contain.
It for engineering.

It's neither today nor yesterday that I was in college but from what I remember:
Executive Summary (key finding(s))
Introduction (brief outline of what you're doing/ why)
Objectives (what you want to test/ prove/ disprove)
Procedure (how you plan to carry out the work)
Results (the results you recorded)
Analysis (your calculations based on your results and how it compares to your objectives; sources/ explanations of error; deviations from stated procedure)
Conclusions (what inferences you can draw from your analysis)

It might only be a simple tensile test but the structure should be the same for a small or large body of work.

Thanks, never written one before. At least I can show my attempt to the lecturer before I submit it.
