Project 2: Research-Based Technical Report, 30%
Write a 1500-2000-word research-based technical report relevant to your studies. It should consolidate and present information about your selected topic in a manner consistent with a technical report. It should clearly identify its purpose (e.g., reviewing a design, or investigating a topic) and demonstrate its meeting its stated purpose in a clear and straightforward manner (i.e., maintain a unity of thought). All sources in your paper must be quoted and cited. There must be at least 10 cited sources accessed through the library (e.g., databases, periodicals, books) and other resources (e.g., interviews).
For the document layout and design, we will follow David McMurrey’s Technical Report design: explanation and models.
The key difference is that instead of using IEEE numbered citations, we will use APA formatting for in-text citations and references list.
Revised due date: 5/1/2019.
After successfully submitting Project 2, we will discuss how to transform the technical report into a oral presentation supported by a PowerPoint slideshow, which will be delivered on the last day of class: 5/22/2019.
