Engineering research includes the aspect of pursuing a scientifictopic, a hypothesis or an idea in a systematic rigorous fashion. This requires critical thinking inorder to answer questions and to produce new and original knowledge. Another aspect ofresearch is describing the intellectual activity and communicating the new knowledge both orallyand in writing.

Peter Kilpatrick added a one unit fall course, Introduction to Research, aprofessional development course including research ethics, presentations, andpublications. While these two courses were satisfying as stand-alone efforts, recentfaculty and graduate student sentiment pushed for an earlier engagement of student withresearch advisor, PhD committee, and research itself
