In Engineering, the most common referencing style is the author-date (Harvard) system.
Example of in-text citation and reference list entry using the Harvard referencing style:
In-text citation
In the traditional experiment with iron and sulphur relating to mixtures and compounds, Ralph
Zindel (Dennis & Clarke, 1902, p. 13) writes: When the mixture is heated the substances [iron
and sulphur] unite and form a metal. A chemical [change] takes place… (Ralph Zindel)

2.10. Appendices
These contain material that is too detailed to include in the main report, such as raw data or
detailed drawings.
The conventions for appendices are as follows:
each appendix must be given a number (or letter) and title;
each appendix must be referred to by number (or letter) at the relevant point in the text.
Example:
The data obtained are summarised below. The detailed data are given in Appendix 3.
Appendices are not dump places and they must be classified and organized. They are
though important, but may not be directly relevant to the main body. It is intended for
interested readers only
3. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Now that you have put your knowledge of writing technical report to the test, try your
hand at these learning activities.
A1 — Select a scientific paper and analyze its. For each sentence (or perhaps each clause within
a sentence), determine what it conveys: context, need, task, object of the document, findings,
conclusions, and/or perspectives. Check whether these components are presented in a logical
order, and note which components (if any) are missing.
A2Each time you read a scientific paper from your field, look for the verbs that express a
research action and create a list of them. Be critical, however: Only add specific verbs such as
measure, compare, or simulate, not generic verbs such as do, perform, or carry out.
A3 — Each time a scientific paper frustrates you by not including information you wish to have
(for example, by not explaining an abbreviation or by failing to clarify the motivation for the
work), ask yourself what, exactly, is missing and why it is important to you as a reader.
