Select a product or a process that is trending in your discipline. This can be a relatively new (last 5 years) process your chosen industry is adopting, or a relatively new technology your industry is adopting. Once you have selected a topic, do the following:
1. find at least three reliable, credible sources on that topic.
2. Write a brief paper (2 pages MAXIMUM) that describes your product or process (1-2 paragraphs), and then analyzes each of your sources individually and explains why it is a credible, reliable source based on our lecture (generally 1 paragraph per source.) Please do NOT use research papers written for another class. You may use a topic you chose in another class, but not the original paper.
3. Include in text citations in the body where necessary and create a works cited list at the end of the document, listing your sources in proper format. (you may use whichever citation format is most prevalent in your discipline).
PLEASE NOTE: This topic will be used later in the semester as the basis for your technical report, so choose a topic that both interests you and also one for which you can find enough research data and information. ALSO: Please note that the research process can take time – that is why you are being given extra time to complete this assignment.
Background of me to help: I am an architectural technology major and I’ve been researching 3d printing a lot this past year and I thought it would be an interesting topic to research.
Topic: The process of using Autocad to 3d print houses
