The major objective of any project/dissertation/thesis should be to make new discovery, to provide answers to unanswered questions, to proffer solution to problems, to evaluate or assess a project or programme. These are what inform the formulation of a project title (popularly referred to by students and some supervisors as project topic). In order for the project title to be complete and meaningful, it must have two important variables. These include the independent variable and the dependent variable. It has been observed that a lot of students cannot distinguish between these two variables in their research title or their project. This write up is therefore put together to assist students at the undergraduate and the post-graduate level to be able to write their project while minimizing methodological errors that characterizes research project as a result of lack of experience and expertise.

Writing a research article can be a daunting task, and often, writers are not certain what should be included and how the information should be conveyed. Fortunately, scientific and engineering journal articles follow an accepted format. They contain an introduction which includes a statement of the problem, a literature review, and a general outline of the paper, a methods section detailing the methods used, separate or combined results, discussion and application sections, and a final summary and conclusions section. Here, each of these elements is described in detail using examples from the published literature as illustration. Guidance is also provided with respect to style, getting started, and the revision/review process.

Description

Presents an Integrated Approach, Providing Clear and Practical Guidelines Are you a student facing your first serious research project? If you are, it is likely that you’ll be, firstly, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task, and secondly, lost as to how to go about it. What you really need is a guide to walk you through all aspects of the research project, from planning and conducting your research project to writing and presenting it. Guide to Research Projects for Engineering Students: Planning, Writing and Presenting is the guide you need to do the job efficiently. Specifically Designed with Engineering and Technical Science Students in Mind The book is organized into three sections, broken down into concise chapters that focus on a specific topic and the skills required. The section on planning shows you how to choose a project, research a topic, write a project proposal, plan the project, select methods and methodologies, and keep records. The section on writing provides help on writing the different sections of a research report as well as introduces you to the strategies and language conventions required for writing an effective research report. Finally, the section on presenting covers creating effective figures and layout, preparing for a project presentation, and the dos and don’ts in delivering a presentation. Advice on how to use IT tools effectively is given throughout the book. Contains highly practical content—includes tips on how to conduct research, write it up effectively, and avoid common errors and pitfalls in grammar and style Offers guidance on using IT tools (which are indispensable in research) Includes pertinent examples of best practices on conducting research and research writing The authors have drawn on their many years of experience teaching engineering students, either in supervising engineering students in their research projects or teaching technical communication skills.

Critics' Reviews

"Engineering students who have to complete research projects will find this book an immensely helpful reference to hone their skills throughout the whole project. Engineering project supervisors will also find it a great workload reducer if their students can use this volume to its full potential." — English for Specific Purposes, July 2016 "… comprehensive and covers every aspect of a research project. Students will also appreciate the concise chapters and easy-to-read text. And even if students do not use Microsoft Office, they will still benefit from the other well-written and informative content." — Technical Communication , February 2016 "… specifically caters to engineering students and provides a more than comprehensive coverage of not only the research process but provides tips on the writing process and also the presentation of the research conducted. The writers, having taught engineering students, are obviously aware of what these students require. However, although primarily aimed at engineering students, this volume will be of use to both undergraduate and postgraduate students working on research projects." —Maya Khemlani David, University of Malaya "… addresses the current need of a comprehensive guide for undergraduate students. … With its comprehensive approach and organizational clarity, the book should be able to come in handy for all students preparing a research report. Remarkably, the book includes specific advice on use of language and grammar that is bound to enhance the quality of student writing. A very welcome addition to books in this area!" —Dr Anil Pathak, Deputy Dean, Centre for Communication, Teaching and Learning, Institut Teknologi Brunei "This is a very useful and comprehensive book for undergraduate and postgraduate students facing the challenge of their first research project. Shaping an idea, make it happen, and being able to communicate achievements are difficult tasks. Even the most brilliant students tend to remain ‘trapped’ in one of the three stages identified by the authors, planning, writing, and presenting. This book is easy to read, has many practical examples, and is written in a straight-to-the-point style. It can be read from the start to the end or just consulted on any specific aspect where support is being sought." —Professor Alessandro Tarantino, University of Strathclyde "… this book is unique as it guides students from the initial stage of choosing a topic all the way to writing up the report to presenting it in front of an informed audience." —Dr Deng Xudong, Associate Professor, Centre for Communication Skills, Singapore Institute of Technology "…a useful research and writing companion handbook to help students cope with all the demands of completing a project of such a scale. … can be used as either a self-study guide or a textbook in final-year project writing courses." —Dr Becky Kwan, Associate Professor, Department of English, City University of Hong Kong "The authors deserve accolade for bringing to the fore key concepts essential to successful academic research and writing. It is an invaluable handbook that is written in accessible language with a clear purpose in mind: to guide students toward academic success. It is a must-have for supervisors who work with research students. It is also a reliable resource book for researchers, teachers, subject librarians, and those interested in engaging with academic research writing." —Professor Lawrence Jun Zhang, PhD, University of Auckland, New Zealand "…the approach and selection of the topics covered in the book are very comprehensive … from conception of ideas to final presentation of the research outcomes. This book should be a "must-have" for all beginners in research work. Veteran researchers will find this book a good and refreshing guide to produce more succinct research reports." —Associate Professor Woon Kwong Yip, Registrar, SIM University, Singapore "… comprehensive and covers every aspect of a research project. Students will also appreciate the concise chapters and easy-to-read text. And even if students do not use Microsoft Office, they will still benefit from the other well-written and informative content." — Technical Communication , February 2016
