Introduction to Engineering Research [electronic resource] / by Wendy C. Crone. - 1st ed. 2020. - XXIV, 208 p. online resource. - Synthesis Lectures on Engineering, Science, and Technology, 2690-0327 . - Synthesis Lectures on Engineering, Science, and Technology, .
Foreword -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Credits -- Introduction to Engineering Research -- Finding the Right Research Position for You -- Becoming a Researcher -- Building on the Research of Others -- Conducting Research -- Documenting Your Research Findings -- Sharing Your Research via Oral Communication -- Sharing your Research via Written Communication -- Safeguarding Your Personal Health and Happiness -- Afterword -- Author's Biography -- Index.
Undergraduate and first-year graduate students engaging in engineering research need more than technical skills and tools to be successful. From finding a research position and funding, to getting the mentoring needed to be successful while conducting research responsibly, to learning how to do the other aspects of research associated with project management and communication, this book provides novice researchers with the guidance they need to begin developing mastery. Awareness and deeper understanding of the broader context of research reduces barriers to success, increases capacity to contribute to a research team, and enhances ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Being prepared for what's to come and knowing the questions to ask along the way allows those entering researcher to become more comfortable engaging with not only the research itself but also their colleagues and mentors.
