Write a brief summary of what was done in a particular engineering or science activity. It is typically one
paragraph, and is often subject to strict word limits (for example, each EGR 1010 laboratory abstract must be exactly 250
words). The abstract should avoid the use of first person or personal pronouns of any type. It can be written in either past
or present tense, but should be consistent. An effective abstract will contain all of the following information1:
* Problem statement: What problem are you trying to solve? * Motivation: Why do we care about the problem and the results? *
Approach: How did you go about solving or making progress on the problem? * Results: What’s the answer? * Conclusions: What
are the implications of your answer?
