Greeting All,  It’s that time of the year again when the ENGR 101 Students get their very first assignment.  Currently there are 898 students in the course.

Engineering Process for Aircraft Overweight Issues.

There is no one solution to this question! Their assignment requires them to write a technical report that contains, a figure, excel chart and bibliography in APA format.  They are required to cite material in APA style.

In first instant please send them to our subject guide help.

We have added some interesting Journal articles, Ebooks, Links to Reports, Aircraft design companies and Aircraft seat standards all already cited in APA format.

The second journal article (Kokorikou, et al)  has been posted up on learn as access problems and copyright means that this is only available to students inside the course.  The students themselves will have to log in.

Multi search is a very good database to start with, depending on their keywords.

As an engineering solution they might need to consult the SAE Aircraft Seat Standards ARP5526D and AS8049C.  These are ONLY available in the EPS library as they cannot be scanned or available electronically.

Students should not cite wikipedia, but can use it as a starting point.

If more help is needed please sent the students to the subject librarians based in EPS…

Dave.
