Progress Reports – no surprises at the end of the semesterTeam - cumulative effort to date, summarize individual contributions (please do not just cut and paste)Individual – Your time to tell

us

what you’ve done, private correspondence between only you and

the instructor

Submit via email (submit by

COB

on due date)

Appropriately label the subject line

At the beginning of the email, remind me of you, your team, and projectSlide14

Journal Article SummaryReview three peer-reviewed journal articles and/or

patents

http://www.uspto.gov/

No books allowed!

Deliverables

≤

2

pages

of

combined written analysis for all three articles

Photocopy of journal article or patent first page

Material should be incorporated into your PDR – it is inconceivable that you would not conduct a thorough literature review of your subject matter prior to completing design analysisSlide16

Comparing scholarly journals, popular and trade magazines

Peer Reviewed/Scholarly Publications

Non-Peer Reviewed Publications

Journal articles (research studies, lit review)

More “magazine” or newspaper format

Articles are reviewed by experts in the field

Articles are not subject to such in-depth review process

Geared toward the researcher

Trade: written by practitioners for practitioners

Articles typically include a reference list

Popular: written for the consumer – not the expertSlide17

Journal of Environmental EngineeringJournal of Environmental Engineering Submission Guidelines ASCE encourages the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journals. Before you submit an article, please review the scope statements for ASCE's journals on the

journals home pages

, to ensure that you are submitting your work to the journal that is best suited for it. Then, consult our

resources for authors

, especially the sections about

types of journal content

and

length of journal submissions

. Additional information for submitting to this journal appears below.Slide18

Examples of Non Peer Reviewed Publications

Engineering Trade Publications

Written by practitioners for practitioner

Focus is on the particular industry or profession

Popular Magazines

Typically written for the consumer/layperson

No panel/jury of experts to review submitted artilces

Newspapers

Most websitesSlide19

The Process1st semester – design and create a test plan 2nd semester – build and test Slide20

At this point - Everyone should be on a teamEach team should have an approved projectAre there exceptions??Slide21

Feasibility and Merit AnalysisMust have one formal MA in PDRAll design decisions must be justified with analysis! But, the formal MA process learned in EGR 107 is not the only method to communicate decision makingSlide25

Grade ConsiderationsEngineering:ComplexityDifficultyQuality

Content

What did your Engineering Education allow you to accomplish? What content delivered distinguishes your abilities from non engineers? Did you develop/design independent from faculty advice?Slide27

If I could give just one piece of advice to facilitate your success…Frequently meet withClientTechnical Advisor(s)Keep management informedCommunicate!Slide28
