The document provides guidance to a student writing an inquiry paper for their major. It prompts the student to write 1-2 paragraphs answering questions about how they chose their topic and why it is important to their field. It suggests the student use their introduction and previous writing to answer. It then prompts the student to identify a gap in the research for their conclusion paragraph. The document offers examples of potential gaps, such as studying a different population or variable. It instructs the student to write one paragraph summarizing the conversation and identifying a gap for future research.

ProjectHouston’sFaults.Students willcarry out Internet res.docxbriancrawford30935
Project: Houston’s Faults.
Students will carry out Internet research on faults in and around Houston Texas. Your research should look at the following aspects related to faults.
· The origin of faults in the Houston area
· The distribution of faults in the area
· The type of faults (normal, reverse, strike slip etc.)
· How the faults impact city planning (location of airports, major highways, stadiums, city center, sewage lines etc. in relation to the major faults)
· Faults and earthquakes
· As a geoscience student, how can your knowledge of the origin, distribution and types of fault be useful to city planners?
Students will present this information in the form of a power point slide. Your power point should include all relevant information including sketches, photos, maps and should have a reference section.
EXAMPLE ON HOW YOU CAN FORMAT YOUR PRESENTATION: you will create a slide show then print it out and turn it in a black folder. You do not need to send it to me via email
1st slide Intro: What are faults? (types of faults; normal, reverse, strike slip etc)
*have figures but let them stand alone (meaning the should be on there on slide)
2nd slide Faults in Houston Texas
Origin of faults (what cause them)
Distribution (include a map of where faults are located) remember figures must stand alone)
3rd slide faults in city planning. (Stadiums, airports, major roads etc) how it affects it
Think: Hobby airport has a fault, roads have faults, city center, why are sewers where faults are, why do Houston Texas have faults but no earthquakes
POWER POINT SLIDE DUE APRIL 27TH THRUSDAY AS SOON AS YOU WALKING INTO CLASS.. Slides must be between 10 and 20 slides. *no less than 10 and nor more then 20

Abstract
An abstract is nothing more than a summary of the main ideas. In this course, the abstract is a summary of the basic building blocks used in the research proposal. It will be slightly different than an abstract for a paper or essay.
In a paper or essay, the abstract summarizes the main points of the document. In a research proposal, the abstract summarizes the main research components (to be used) as demonstrated with the topic.
In either case, an abstract is simple. It is just a summary of the main ideas, points, or methodologies. The difference is what the author is summarizing. In other words, the reader should be able to read the brief abstract and understand what the researcher is proposing..... In 2 or 3 paragraphs, you should be able to answer the following questions in narrative form: What is the topic? What are the variables? What is the hypothesis? What is the design? What is the population/sample? What is the Data Collection Method(s)?

Research Paper Guidelines
Understanding the process that undergirds principles of research is a primary objective for this course. This project includes a thorough review of literature related the Counseling field. This project should include (1) a title page; (2) an abstract; (3) an introduction to the paper; (4) the review of literature; (5) a methods section; (6) a complete list of references used.
The paper that you will submit should be organized to carefully review research done on a particular topic of your choosing. In the review of literature, you will find it easier and more consistent to use the past tense when describing studies because they have already been completed. Therefore, you should write in the past tense for a scholarly audience, and should use clear and short sentences that generally avoid the use of personal pronouns (e.g., “I”). APA guidelines specify that your manuscript should be double spaced throughout, left justified (with regular “ragged right” margins), and margins should be set to 1 inch on all sides. Please check the Publication Manual of the APA.
Structure of the Paper
Title Page
Title. The title should summarize the main idea of the paper and include the main topic and actual theoretical issue investigated. Good titles are short (< 20 words) and would serve as a type of index of the main issues covered, including the nature of the tasks, participants, or other important variables. Type the title centered, in upper and lower cases, double-spaced.
Running head. Each page of your manuscript has a brief “title” (running head) printed in the upper right hand corner of the manuscript. It should be a maximum of 50 characters, and be followed by the specific page number for that page. A notation as to the specific Running head should be located in all caps, flush left at the top of the title page. For example, on your title page you would show (in the upper left hand corner):
Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL - 1
RESEARCH PROPOSAL - 1
Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL
On every subsequent page the running head would be right-justified with the page number. [Note: your running head would specify the content of your selected review] For example:
Research Proposal: - 2
Abstract
(This is your section header; centered on the page)
Page two is the Abstract for the paper. It is a brief (150-200 words) comprehensive summary of the research proposal. The Running head and the number 2 are typed in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The word “Abstract” is centered as the first line of type on this page. Type the abstract as a single paragraph in block format (i.e., without paragraph indentation). You may also want to list keywords from your paper in your abstract. To do this, center the text and type Keywords: (it ...

2. JOURNAL
How did you decide on the topic that you’re exploring through your
inquiry paper? How did you know that this issue is important to
your field? What does exploring this issue help you learn about your
major?
Write 1-2 paragraphs in response to these questions. You don’t have
to answer all of them, and you don’t have to answer them in order.
3. Use the introduction from your bib and from
what you wrote
After exploring genres common to the field of Mechanical Engineering through a preliminary genre analysis, I
continued to analyze the language and genres of my field by tracing a mechanical concern relevant to engineers.
To do this, I have gathered articles relating to the connection between structural stress analysis and amusement
rides, such as roller coasters. I have found numerous of academic articles pertaining to this topic, and have traced
the consistencies and patterns that are common to these articles. Through my research, I have found sources that
discuss the research of peak stress analysis in structures (Atzoria et al.; Meneghettia et al.;Wang et al.), as well as
documentation of safety protocol (ASTM International; NSPE), which is applied in the industrial world through
amusement parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Alton Towers (Ogando; Professional
Engineering).
I decided to explore this topic because….The topic of analysis structures is important to my field because….
5. Inquiry paper conclusion
At the end of your paper, you’ll need to identify a “gap” in the
research you’ve conducted. If you were already in the field that you
are studying, how would you contribute to the conversation?
Think about:
--Studying a different population. High Schoolers/college students/ senior
citizens
--Studying a different aspect of what your sources say. Making just one
clarification
--Conducting a study that looks at different variables or a different
population.
8. WRITE
At the end of your last section, write one paragraph that summarizes
the conversation you have explored and identifies a gap in the
research:
My sources have covered….. However, they have not covered….If I
were to continue exploring this topic as an
engineer/psychologist/politician, I would look at…..because…..
9. CONFERENCES
Bring full draft of inquiry paper, including intro and
conclusion
Please be on time
