Consult with off-campus sources as extensively as possible. Use the attached specifications to prepare your report. Your TA or I will assist with preliminary review or discussion of your ideas if you request it. Use at least 11 point type. The abstract should convey the essence of the entire report and should be meaningful to a client who might read only the abstract.

For example, drilling wastes are of variable composition, and create a disposal problem. This report describes a system that has been designed for land spreading of drilling wastes. Some points to consider in your report.
