 Project Title

Introduction
This file contains formatting instructions to the written report for the CIC Project. The
written report deadline is June 2nd, 2015. In case you have any questions, please, contact Drs.
Patricia Sullivan at patsulli@nmsu.edu and Delia Valles at dvalles@nmsu.edu.

Text Format instructions

The text may have up to 25 pages written in 1.5 spacing with font size 12 times roman.
Appendix is not included in the 25 pages.
You need to use as much images as you want. The images must be centered on the page
as shown on figure 1.

Figure 1 Vehicle dimensions

You will certainly want to use tables to present your data. See table 1 as an example.

Table 1 Suspension deformation

Load Left wheel Right wheel
(N) displacement displacement

2500 42 43
3000 51 52
3300 57 58
4100 64 68
4700 70 72

You can use references such as Alves (2012). See the references topic for the complete
format of the references. Other examples of references are books such as the one by Lechner
& Naunheimer (1999) and journal papers such as Moon & Wickert (1996). The list must
contain the references in alphabetical order.
