This document provides information about engineering projects and research. It defines engineering projects as the development of software or hardware to solve engineering problems. It lists example projects for computer science and electrical engineering students. The objectives of projects are outlined as function, cost containment, and timeline. Research is defined as systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control observed phenomena using inductive and deductive methods. Pure and applied research are described, with pure research advancing knowledge without specific goals and applied research analyzing real-world problems. The goals of exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, and correlation research are summarized. Effective hypothesis formation and the importance of testable hypotheses are discussed. Steps for literature reviews are provided, including selecting topics, setting contexts, and
