 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There are two main categories of acknowledgements: professional and personal. The students
are advised to write the professional acknowledgments in the first place. If they wish to include
the personal acknowledgments as well, they can do so at the end. It is normally recommended
that the acknowledgments be sequenced in the following order:
 Head/Supervisor/Project Committee
 Collaborating Organization/Industry
 Other academic help (People/Labs/Libraries, etc.)
 Editor or proofreader
 Inspiring and morally supportive family members, friends etc.

It is ethical to maintain an appropriate order for expressions of thankfulness to those who made
major contributions to your work and without whom it would have been impossible to carry out
the work successfully.

Few writing styles -

For major contributions:
 I am extremely grateful to …
 Words cannot express my gratitude to …
 I would like to express my deepest gratitude to …
 I am deeply indebted to …
 I would like to express my deepest appreciation to …
 This endeavor would not have been possible without …
 I could not have undertaken this journey without …

For moderate contributions:

 I am thankful to … for …
 I am grateful to … for …

 Many thanks to …
 Thanks should also go to …

For minor contributions:

 I would like to acknowledge …
 Lastly, I would like to mention …
 I would like to recognize …
 I had the pleasure of collaborating with …

Towards the end, you may express thankfulness to those who have assisted you but have not
been acknowledged by name. Refer to the URL https://esl.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/LI/li-

 ABSTRACT

An abstract is a short summary, written mostly in present tense, that concisely presents the aims,
introduction, methods, results, discussions, and conclusions of your work. Preferably, it should
be limited to 300 words and prepared only after the completion of the report's writing. The
abstract should briefly touch up the following:

 Purpose or objective of your work.

 The problem that has been attempted to be solved and its academic,
commercial, or social relevance.
 State the constraints affecting your work.
 Touch upon the methodology used in the work without claiming its strengths
or stating its limitations.
 Highlight the most important findings (use the present or simple past tense).
 Briefly discuss the main conclusions or accomplishments of your work
and conclude with your recommendations, if any.

The following points may be considered for writing style:

 Use the present tense, except for statements of your important findings, which can
be stated in the simple past tense.
 Use an active voice.
 Avoid references, symbols, diagrams, formulas, minor details, detailed discussion,
and repetition.

Place the keywords relevant to your work at the end of the abstract.
