Summary of "Cómo Elaborar un Informe Técnico – Tutorial"

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to prepare a Technical Report, specifically for a laboratory context in the field of General Chemistry. It outlines the importance of technical reports for transmitting experimental data and facilitating decision-making in engineering and industry. The video emphasizes the structure, formatting, and content required for a successful report.

Main Ideas and Concepts:

• Purpose of a Technical Report:
  • To communicate experimental findings.
  • To assist in decision-making and improve efficiency in production.
  • To serve as a foundation for graduation work.
• Formatting Guidelines:
  • Use Arial font, size 12 for body text and size 14 for section titles.
  • Justified alignment, double-sided printing, and specific line spacing.
  • Titles should be in capital letters, bold, and centered.
• Content Structure:
  • The report should contain 11 sections:
    • Cover
    • Summary
    • Results
    • Interpretation of Results
    • Conclusions
    • Experimental Methodology
    • Original Data Sheet
    • Calculation Sample
    • Error Analysis
    • Calculated Data
    • Bibliography
• Writing Style:
  • Use past perfect tense and third person.
  • Avoid unnecessary ornaments and ensure coherent writing.
  • Sections must start on a new page, and tables/figures must be properly numbered and titled.
• Specific Instructions for Each Section:
  • Cover: Include institutional information, practice number, title, student data, and instructor details.
  • Summary: Briefly describe the purpose, methodology, and findings of the report.
  • Results: Present data in tables/graphs without commentary.
  • Interpretation of Results: Discuss findings in relation to theoretical expectations and literature.
  • Conclusions: Clearly state findings related to specific objectives.
  • Experimental Methodology: Describe the procedures followed during the experiment.
  • Original Data Sheet: Include actual data collected during the experiment.
  • Calculation Sample: Detail calculations performed, including equations and results.
  • Error Analysis: Analyze errors and present statistical calculations.
  • Calculated Data: Present intermediate and final data in tables.
  • Bibliography: List references in ISO 690 format.
• Statistical Analysis:
  • Discuss precision and accuracy, including calculations for mean, standard deviation, and percentage error.
• Final Review:
  • Ensure all sections are in the correct order and formatted according to guidelines before submission.

Methodology and Instructions:

Follow these steps when preparing your report:

• Read and analyze the practice instructions.
• Gather materials and equipment needed for the experiment.
• Conduct the experiment, collecting data as per the methodology.
• Write each section of the report according to the outlined structure.
• Review and edit the report for coherence, formatting, and adherence to guidelines.
• Submit the report in the required format.
