ENGR 1201 Introduction to Engineering Writing Assignment #6 Due according to schedule OBJECTIVE: to identify and apply knowledge about learning and teaching styles to success in the study of Engineering. Now with your learning style discovered in class write a two-page paper on why it is beneficial for you to understand your preferred learning style(s), Include in your paper: Discuss changes in your plans for your engineering education as a result of this new knowledge. Using the list of characteristics of expert learners in your text (pg.96) identify those that describe you and the ones that do not describe you. Using the list that do not describe you rank them by importance and identify which of these you would work on to become a better learner. Include in your paper a plan (including steps to take) to move the chosen “does not describe you” item(s) to your “describes you” list. FORMAT Requirements- THIS PAPER MUST BE TYPE WRITTEN FOR SUBMISSION as a “HARD COPY” only. (No electronic submissions will be accepted. You must provide a cover sheet for your paper with the following information (TITLE, Student Name, date and course number) all centered in the page and double spaced Double spaced and 1 inch margins on all sides.3 Use a 12 point font, of your choice, but it must be clearly legible and appropriate for the nature of the paper (i.e. professional) Since the majority of the material you will reference is from your textbook there is no need for citations or references on this assignment.

ENGR 1201 Introduction to Engineering Technical/Research Paper Assignment DUE 3 December 2021 according to course schedule Each student will write a technical research paper in this course with the outline and both the draft and final (revised) versions reviewed/checked off by the University writing center by 29 October, 2021. You will submit with your final paper the sheet showing your visit and the suggested changes. The paper’s length is to be 8-10 pages, including references. In your paper you will research an engineer, inventor/invention and/or an engineering item that affected our world. You will address all engineering constraints as well as what contemporary issues were considered when addressing the problem at hand and what impact did their solution have especially in a global and societal context. Structure: The general structured components of your technical paper are outlined below. Abstract: a stand-alone paragraph that describes the thesis (central theme) of the paper. The abstract is generally completed after the paper has been written, but an initial abstract with outline sets the direction of the research and the paper. Introduction: a section to give background information on the topic. This section states why the topic is important and includes any relevant theory and results from the work of others. Main body: the section of the paper in which the topic of the paper is given its development. Conclusion: a brief summary of the information in the paper. Unlike the abstract, this section is not required to be self-contained and can therefore make references to material in the body of the paper. References: a listing of the published sources of background information for the paper that support the citations within your paper. At least six references are required in this paper. Only two references may be from an internet site. One reference must be from an appropriate professional journal. All sources listed in the References section must be cited in the text. Format: Formatting instructions are given below. Title (cover) Page Title: Limited to 10 words. The title is to be typed 2 lines below the top margin in 14-point UPPER-CASE BOLD type and centered on the page. Author: The author’s name is to be centered on the page on the 9th line from the top margin. The name is typed in 14-point bold type. A blank line follows the name. The name and address of the University of Texas at Tyler College of Engineering ence are typed below this in 10-point plain type. Body of Paper Text style: Single-spaced, in two-column format (after title and author) on standard 8.5  11 white paper. Margins are to be 0.75 in (left, right, and top) and 1.0 in (bottom). Each column is to have a width of 3.375 in with 0.25 in between the columns. Each section of the text will be titled with UPPER-CASE BOLD text with the section title separated from the text with one blank line above and one below. Two blank lines will be used between paragraphs. Page numbers are to be centered at the bottom of the page and will begin with 1. Times New Roman 10-point font is to be used for all text. Abstract: The one-paragraph abstract begins on line 18 of the first page. It is the first line of the two-column format. The keyword ABSTRACT will be used to introduce this section. Introduction: The keyword INTRODUCTION will be used to introduce this section. Main body: The main body of the report is divided into separate topics. Each topic becomes a keyword for the text that follows it. For example, a paper on alternative energy sources may contain sections on photovoltaic energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. Each section would be introduced with the appropriate heading as a keyword. “Main body” is not a keyword. Conclusion: This section is introduced by the keyword CONCLUSION. Other formatting considerations: Tables: Tables may utilize the full-width of the page if necessary. The source of data in tables must be acknowledged with a reference unless the data are the work of the author. A title is to be placed above each table. Tables will be referenced in the text as “Table 1,” etc. Figures: Drawings, graphs, and photographs may be introduced as figures. Each figure must have a caption placed below it. Each figure must have a reference if it is derived from a published source; no reference is necessary if the figure is the original work of the author. Figures will be referenced in the text as “Fig. 1,” “Fig. 2,” etc., unless the sentence begins with the word “Figure” (which is then spelled out in full). Equations: Equations are not required in this technical paper but may be used if appropriate. Equations are to be separated from the text with a blank line before and after the equation. Equations are to be numbered consecutively with equation numbers enclosed in parentheses at the right end of the equation line. An equation is referenced in the text in the form “Eq. (1).” A group of equations can be referenced in the form “Eqs. (3)–(5).” References: References in the paper will be numbered sequentially with numbers enclosed in square brackets [ ]. For example: “A number of modeling strategies have been developed for continuous systems [1].” Citations from printed sources will follow the forms below: [1] Craig, R. R. Structural dynamics. New York: John Wiley and Sons, 1981. (book) [2] H. R. Berenji, “Fuzzy logic controllers,” in An Introduction to Fuzzy Logic Applications in Intelligent Systems, R. R. Yager and L. A. Zadeh, Eds.

The citation will include the name(s) of the author(s); the title of the work in quotations; the title of the complete work (if applicable) in italics; the date of the document or latest revision (if known) in parentheses; the full URL; and the date of access.
