CV 800 - Research and Writing

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
This course is designed to equip students with the research and writing skills necessary to successfully complete the CVE capstone design project. After selecting a capstone topic, the student will learn how to use the MSOE library’s online databases and print/electronic resources to locate relevant and credible literature, as well as other sources of information. In conjunction with an ongoing critical assessment of their proposed capstone topics, students will evaluate the source material to refine their topics, and to articulate questions and issues for further investigation. After an introduction to the purposes and methods of literature reviews in technical writing, students will be required to write a review of the literature read during the term. Weekly referencing exercises and writing discussions will help the student master the MSOE Style Guide. The course will culminate in a written capstone project proposal that is required prior to commencing CV 890 . (prereq: graduate standing, consent of program director)
