⦁ Level-1 Heading: A level-1 heading must be in Small Caps, centred and numbered using uppercase Roman numerals. For example, see heading “III. Page Style” of this document. The two level-1 headings that must not be numbered are “Acknowledgment” and “References”.
⦁ Level-2 Heading: A level-2 heading must be in Italic, left justified and numbered using an uppercase alphabetic letter followed by a period. For example, see heading “C. Section Headings”.
⦁ Level-3 Heading: A level-3 heading must be indented, in Italic and numbered with an Arabic numeral followed by a right parenthesis. The level-3 heading must end with a colon. The body of the level-3 section immediately follows the level-3 heading in the same paragraph. For example, this paragraph begins with a level-3 heading.
⦁ Figures and Tables
Figures and tables must be centred in the column. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Any table or figure that takes up more than 1 column width must be positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the page.
Graphics may be full colour. Graphics must not use stipple fill patterns because they may not be reproduced properly. Please use only SOLID FILL colours which contrast well both on screen and on a black-and-white hardcopy, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 2 shows an example of a low-resolution image that would not be acceptable, whereas Figure 3 shows an example of an image with adequate resolution. Check that the resolution is adequate to reveal the important detail in the figure.
⦁ Figure Captions
Figures must be numbered using Arabic numerals. Figure captions must be in 8 pt Regular font. Captions of a single line (e.g. Figure 2) must be centred whereas multi-line captions must be justified (e.g. Figure 1).

⦁ Table Captions
Tables must be numbered using uppercase Roman numerals. Table captions must be centred and in 8 pt Regular font with Small Caps.
⦁ References
The heading of the References section must not be numbered as shown. All reference items must be in 8 pt font. Please use Regular and Italic styles to distinguish different fields as shown in the References section. Number the reference items consecutively in square brackets [1].
When referring to a reference item, please simply use the reference number, as in [2]. Do not use “Ref. [3]”.
Examples of reference items of different categories shown in the References section include:

example of a website in [6]
example of a web page in [7]
example of a databook as a manual in [8]
example of a datasheet in [9]
example of a master’s thesis in [10]
example of a technical report in [11]
example of a standard in [12]

⦁ Conclusions and Recommendation
Your assignment should have a strong conclusions and recommendation. PDF copies of all your references must be submitted in a folder on the presentation day. The reference files shall to be labeled sequentially as per the example (eg 01_Metey_Laser Assisted Microtechnology.pdf).
