Additional Guidance
In preparing your writings you are at liberty to include any pictures, schematics and your drawings to enhance your essay. These should be sized so that any one picture, schematic, etc. does not fill more than one-third to one-half of a page.
The smallest font you should be using is 12-point for the text-body writing. ‘Times New Roman’ font is normal for this type of report writing, using single line spacing. Headings are to be in 14 or 16 point. Use ‘black’ bolding or italics, appropriately for headings and text. Use page margin sizing of 25 mm for top, bottom and right margins and 31mm for the left margin (with a 6mm allowance for the binding your thesis document).
For your planning purposes at this time you are advised that Assessment Task 4 will be in the order of 25-30 pages in length plus Appendix(s). You are also advised if you are undertaking significant amounts of design calculations these should be included as Appendix detail and not form. the body (the 25-30 pages) of the Thesis. All Appendix content will not be counted in document page count.
It is highly recommended that you use a reference managing software such as Zotero or EndNote to ensure you reference correctly (the “ Elsevier – Harvard (with titles)” is recommended)
