This page provides useful links to Templates for Articles, Dissertations and Reports (which we're calling the TADR repository). This is aimed to be a collection of useful contributes that may be useful to students in the UCT Electrical Engineering department and are used for some course project reports (these may be suitable for use in other areas, see licensing policies related to the contributions, all emphasise the 'use at own risk' policy and are generally provided under an OpenCommons license allowing adaption and redistribution as needed without the need to request permission from the original authors). Note: in the case of a thesis or dissertation please ensure that you view the guidelines and templates provided by your department and/or faculty and adhere to those guidelines (we do not guarantee the conformance of our templates to those that you may be required to use for your particular work).

  • LaTeX_UCT_Report: https://github.com/jpt13653903/LaTeX_UCT_Report
    • This contribution provides Latext templates usable for either: PhD theses, MSc dissertations, BSc final year project reports, academic articles or project reports.
    • The README.md in the GitHub site for this project provides information about how to select which style of output you want (i.e. report/dissertation/article) together with the Creative Commons License permitting use and adaptation of these templates.
    • This project was planned around allowing authors to have a consistent approach and file structure for all their reports and articles. We welcome any suggestions you may have or difficulties you might experience and have suggestions for how to improve the usability. We hope these resources will help boost your productivity and perhaps encourage wider use of Latex.
  • Microsoft Word Templates
    • The below provides a UCT dissertation Word template relevant to engineering:
    • MSc/MEng dissertation template: Media:MSc YourLastName ver.docx.zip
    • Note regards suggested file naming convention: MSc indicates degree. Replacing YourLastName with your last name will help your supervisor keep track of files downloaded. The ver is useful to indicate the version number of the file (e.g. the number increases with later revisions) or a date of the file (to help you and your supervisor know they are using the latest version).
