1. Introduction – brief statement about
the topic and summary of what the paper covers. This should be a
paragraph.
2. Main body – the details of your
topic, including sufficient detail that “goes beyond” the related lectures and
is well referenced. Provide good details if a new technology is explored. Offer
a balance between cost, operations and environmental impact if applicable.
3. Conclusion – summarizing your work,
including any concluding arguments you have, if you have selected a topic that
involves a debate.
4. Reference page (not included in the
page count) – at least three references, preferably more.
• Professionally written,
logical presentation and structure

operations, if applicable
• Good grammar, spelling, and attention to detail
• Opinions are welcome, with good supporting arguments
