Research project based on my area of study, Computer Software Engineer.

 This semester, you will research a topic related to your field of study. Choose an innovation or a problem to be solved in your field. Then begin to study the topic, doing both primary and secondary research. You must submit a business proposal requesting to research this topic to your instructor. Required Elements of the Report Your report should be modeled after the sample provided in your text and the sample provided at our Blackboard site. The report must contain: a title page, a memo of transmittal, a table of contents, an executive summary, five to seven pages of text, two graphics, and a works cited page. Your report must include a total of at least six sources cited on the Works Cited page and two graphics. There must be both primary and secondary sources listed. You must also include parenthetical references within your pages of text as appropriate. Format Within the text of your report, be sure to include ample “reader relief” through the generous use of white space, internal headings, and visual aids. Direct the reader’s attention by sparingly using mechanical means of emphasis (bolding, italics, font changes). Grading Your research paper will be graded on the quality of the elements noted above. In addition, your paper will be graded on quality of organization, mechanical accuracy, and correct formatting. F.
