Field 2

Mechanical engineering  ( I need copies of articles or writing samples )

For this assignment you’ll need use the tools we overviewed in class to find two of the following: an academic article, a writing sample from someone in your field, a trade newsletter or magazine, or a website related to your field in some way. Carefully read through these writing samples or the content of the site. These will be among the sources you will need to use in your unit two essay, so be thinking about how these relate to you and how you can use them. These readings will take the place of readings from our textbook for this unit.

Respond to the writing you have collected. What do they say about your field? What can you learn about the type of writing done in your field from these pieces? How might these writings compare to the academic writing that professors or students do who are majoring in this field? Based on the academic article(s), what sorts of things are being talked about by scholars? How does what you have learned about your field fit in with what other researchers have said about it?
