About this Guide

Use this guide as a starting point for your Research Paper Mastery Project.

If you feel overwhelmed or don't see what you need, feel free to make an appointment. You can email me or click the blue button beneath my picture and schedule a consultation.

Your Assignment

Summarized from your assignment handout:

In teams, you will choose a topic, search the SAE database, and propose two or three papers in this topic area. With some exceptions, you are looking for more recent research efforts.

After working with Prof. Caton to pick a single paper for you to use, each team will procure that paper from the library.

Tips for Reading Papers

Each spring, I give a talk to the Design of Modern Weapons class, which includes discussion about how read a research paper strategically. You can check out slides from that talk here if you need some support.
