Foreword

You may be dipping your toe into engineering research as an undergraduate or you may have decided that a graduate degree in engineering is the right path to pursue. In either case, there are a number of things that you can learn up front that will make your research experience a positive one and will give you more time and capacity to be the most creative and innovative person that you can be. Engineering research is a very different endeavor than the traditional coursework that you have taken up to this point in your academic career. Students often learn about the broader context of engineering research and the ancillary skills needed to be a successful researcher as they stumble across the need for them. However, that unstructured process is wasteful and takes away from opportunities for discovery and innovation. This book provides guidance and resources on topics ranging from reading journal articles and responsible conduct of research to project management and technical communication. It will serve as a supplement to your interactions with research mentors, advisors, and peers as you engage in engineering research.

Student Perspective

Students who have recently begun engaging in research have fresh and insightful viewpoints on both the context and process of research that is best expressed through their own voices. Throughout this book you will find perspectives from students who are reflecting on their experiences conducting research projects. These insights and comments are intended to give you a review on research from a different lens.
