Engineering Project Administration: Documents, Logs and Records Explained

Technical work produces a large volume of paperwork. Engineering project administration keeps it organised, traceable and ready when a client, auditor or colleague asks for it.

Core administrative records

  • Document register: every drawing and report with number, revision and date
  • RFI log: requests for information and their status
  • Submittal tracker: items sent for approval and the response
  • Action list: tasks, owners and due dates
  • Change log: approved changes to scope, cost or schedule
  • Meeting minutes: decisions and responsibilities

Why it matters

Clear records prevent disputes, support claims, simplify audits and let a new person understand the project history quickly.

File and folder structure

Use one agreed folder structure and naming convention, for example project code, document type, number and revision. Store superseded versions separately.

Keeping up

Update logs on the same day information arrives. Small, regular updates are far easier than a large clean-up at the end.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Updating logs only at project end
  • Using inconsistent file names
  • Overwriting old revisions
  • Leaving action items without an owner or date

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a document register?

A list of all project documents with number, title, revision, date and status.

What is an RFI log?

A record of requests for information, who raised them, who answers and their current status.

Why record changes formally?

So scope, cost and schedule changes are agreed, traceable and easy to explain later.

  VLSI design of median filter Filters are linear systems employed for removal of noise from useful signals. Conventional IIR filters and FIR filters are highly envolved. In general They are computional algorithms requiring definite delay between input and the outputs. However long tailed noise such as exponentional and laplasion distribution noise are difficult to remove using conventional linear filters. Median filters are a class of non linear filters having advantages 1.    Capability to remove long tailed noise 2.    Capability to preserve edge information   The most desirable property of median filters is that they are based on signal “sorting and selection operations”. No Computation is involved. Therefore, they are the most suitable for real time VLSI. Uses 1.    Image processing 2.    Communication networks
