Blog Entry #5 – Academic Research
Academic research is a very relevant aspect to our lives
today. Whether it is for an essay or just to talk about something, it is better
to have done research on what that subject is. Not only does it give you more
facts to bring forward on the issue, but you have more confidence about what it
is you are talking about.
In my field, there are a couple of ways that research will
help me. For mechanical Engineering I can do research to help understand why
certain things are built like they are, like how a car or truck is built. Also,
I can look into why certain builds a more power efficient than another style of
build.
I chose this image that best fits my attitude towards
academic research because I see research assignments being different paths. To
start off, you can take the path that starts you in the beginning looking the
same if you don’t look over your research, but then the path starts getting
tough and hard. The other path gets easier as you go if you go through your
research and understand it so that you can reference it more easily the further
down the path or writing of the paper you go. After seeing research like this,
I see it as a necessary step towards any paper, so I don’t love it, nor do I
hate it.
