Research Tips: ENGINEERING

Tip #1

  • Use Centennial Library's OneSearch, as well as AccessScience and Google Scholar to begin your research and to identify current background information, news, videos and and related links to scholarly journals. 

  • Likewise, take time to navigate the Engineering Village database for specific engineering research & utilize Knovel to help support your understanding and use of equations, material properties and engineering standards.

Tip #2

  • Sign up and begin using a Citation Manager to manage your citations to create a quick bibliography and even quick in-text citations using the ProQuest RefWorks and Zotero add-ons for Google Docs and Microsoft Word.

Tip #3

  • Sign up for a Research Appointment with your STEM/Business Faculty Librarian for extra support in navigating databases and the research process.
