The secondlecture covers engineering methods for conducting research, detailing best practices, availableresources, and an overview of the research process. As a homework assignment, a Mentor-TeamCharter (Appendix B) is completed by the teams and submitted by the third lecture. This charteris to be completed by the student team, with feedback and input from their faculty and/or graduatestudent/post-doctoral mentor. For the third lecture, student teams provide an introduction to their research project for theclass, providing relevant background information. Each team is also asked to present their researchplan for the semester, milestones
