If you are researching ethics in engineering, consider what type of material you want to find and what approach will be the most effective.
Here's a reminder of some of the options available to you when you look for information and of how these can assist you in your work:
- Books -- print and electronic -- bring together information from the research literature and help with understanding the background of a field or subject.
- Research papers (usually journal articles and conference papers) report on the newest experimentation or thinking on a topic while --- through the historical literature --- also providing details of past work.
- News articles and updates -- think of a Wall Street Journal article explaining an industrial accident as an example. These help keep investors and the rest of us informed. We expect the reading level and content to be understandable to most adult readers.
- Websites -- the websites of engineering societies and other trusted sources can supply professional guidance and other helpful information.
