Emergency Safety Alert

Abstract

Our report is intended as a model for our teachers and engineering students when involve research is part of course-work requirements. Here we includes a description of a literature search. Using tools and software such as our report, students can become more pro-active about their research projects. Faculty members can use our report, with others tools, to begin dialog with their students about expectations for research assignments. Two key steps in a literature search are: (i) finding sources; and (ii) synthesizing information. Each of these is addressed in two of the major sections in this report, as well as how the literature search relates to the entire research process. Then pertinent information is repeated in the summary section for convenience.
