Science and Culture

Science and Culture: You are to submit the 2nd draft of the paper entitled “The ASCE Code of Ethics and Student Implementation” by noon, Monday, October 29. Guidelines for the 2nd Draft of the Technical Writing Paper are given below.

Organizational Requirements

Cover Page: The Cover page should include a) title of the report, b) Course Number and Title, c) professor’s name, d) student’s name, e) submission date and f) number of words (not including tables/figures and references). Ideally the description on the Cover Page should be properly centered.

Problem Statement: Write 1 or 2 sentences about the purpose of the paper

Introduction: The Introduction should have a brief description of a) the history of the ASCE Code of Ethics, b) the purpose of the ASCE Code of Ethics, c) Principles and Cannons.

ASCE Code of Ethics: State and briefly describe the Principles and Cannons stated in the ASCE Code of Ethics. Ideally, use a Table(s) to state the Principles and Cannons, and then briefly describe the Table(s).

Student implementation of the ASCE Code of Ethics: Describe what principles/cannons can be implemented by a student and explain how. Ideally present this information in a Table Form and then briefly describe the Table. Be sure to tie in what you think a student should do with a corresponding principle/cannon. Maybe not all principles/cannons can be implemented by students.

Reference Section

Tables and Figures

Tables and Figures must be a) on one page, and b) be readable.

If a figure or table from another source is being used then you must a) identify the Source on the figure/table caption and provide a complete reference of the source in the Reference Section.

Figure numbers and captions should be below the figure; table numbers and captions should be above the figure.

Citation and Reference Style

Use the Numbered citation system; you can get more information at http://www.citationonline.net/CitationHelp/idh_referencenumber.htm.

 

Examples for using Numbered references (examples from above mentioned site):
For numbered references, the reference list is ordered in the order of their appearance in the paper:

 

Nothing seemed so certain as the results of the early studies (1). It was precisely this level of apparent certainty, however, which led to a number of subsequent challenges to the techniques used to process the data (2). There were a number of fairly obvious flaws in the data’s aspect: consistencies and regularities that seemed most irregular, upon close scrutiny (1,2).

Note 1: The grading sheet will be altered slightly since I am giving you the Organizational Structure. More weightage may be given to a) the thought given to the construction of the tables/figures and the manner in which the tables/figures are described; b) Student Implementation.

Note 2: Unstapled reports will not be graded; and late reports will not be accepted.

Note 3: Page limit is 500 words NOT including tables/figures/references.

Note 4: You can have others read the paper for general comments (for example, they can say that the tables are poor; or the Introduction is poor). But under no circumstances should they “correct”  (improve the tables, or rewrite the Introduction for you) the paper. The language, grammar etc. should be yours.
