Choose a Topic
EE - Choose a Topic
Once you've decided on a subject area, you will need to choose a topic. Your research question will be derived from this topic.
Conduct some preliminary research on topics you're interested in. You might use your textbooks, encyclopedias, Wikipedia, and/or article databases to get some background information. Some questions to consider:
- What has already been written about this topic?
- Is it easy to find sources?
- Is there a range of different sources? Is there a range of views and perspectives?
- If I need to collect my own data, is that feasible?
