A Template for EE 233 Report

Usage

The document class ee233report is provided to typeset the report. It should be included as document class in the report.

Unimplemented Features

These features are diffifcult to implement in the class but easy for users to set up.

Two-Column Layout

The LaTex built-in \twocolumn is known to create a page break after the redefined \maketitle, while the two-column layout in the multicol package (included in the class) isn't. So the later is recommended:

% place multicols environment below \maketitle
\begin{multicols}{2}

% Your document body here

\end{multicols}

Boxes around Figures

To add boxes to figures, the figure environment may be redefined, but it is impossible to make the redefined version identical to the original. It is recommended to use the mdframed package (also included in the class) to add the boxes:

\begin{figure}
    \begin{mdframed}
        % Your figure here
    \end{mdframed}
\end{figure}

Table Styles

Again, redefinition of built-in environment is undesirable. There are many LaTex table generators out there in the wilds. To generate thicker horizontal lines, the included package makecell provides \Xhline:

\begin{tabular}{l|l}
    \Xhline{1.5pt}
    Activity & Student Name \\ \hline
    Prelab/Circuit Analysis &  \\ \hline
    Prelab/Simulations &  \\ \hline
    Prelab/answer questions &  \\ \hline
    Circuit construction &  \\ \hline
    Data collection &  \\ \hline
    Data analysis &  \\ \hline
    Lab report writing &  \\ \Xhline{1.5pt}
\end{tabular}
