Each student will develop a research paper pertaining to the construction materials and methods used in the engineering or construction industry. This paper should be in an area of special interest to the student. You should use this opportunity to gain more knowledge and information about a subject that you are interested in. You need to list all used references, including AI sources. This program, like most of the programs at National University, has been developed to be as applied and practical as possible. You should use the research papers to further this applied knowledge so that it will help you in your current job, or the job you hope to get.
