QEP Research Paper:
Topic: Biomass: Harvesting Garbage to Power Modern World
The QEP Research Paper for this course will follow the model for making decisions based on identifying assumptions, weighing evidence, and applying a point of view. You will make a decision about the viability of an energy source as a component in the overall energy landscape.
The QEP Research Paper (5 – 10 pages) is to be generated by each student. Each paper is to include the following: an overview of the energy resource, the principles behind its energy generation and use, and the groundwork for the selected energy resource that will allow the US to one day achieve energy independence from fossil fuel imports.
QEP Research Paper Components:
Collect 10 resources (other than your textbook) from popular science magazines including Discover, Scientific American, New Scientist, or government websites by researching information about your energy source to identify the following:
a. How is the energy source currently used (production/extraction, percentage of overall energy sources, etc.)?
b. What are the advantages and disadvantages to using this energy source?
c. Based on the identification of the problem, what assumption will you be discussing in your QEP research paper?
• QEP Research Paper Annotated Bibliography:
Create an annotated bibliography in APA format. In this annotated bibliography, you will:
a. Provide the citation for each source found that addresses the questions listed above.
b. Write a brief summary (approximately 50 words) of the information learned from the citation.
c. Weed out any citations that contain no new information, meaning your bibliography should not just repeat information found in previous citations. If the citation does not add any new information, find another resource that will do so.
Type the annotated bibliography, containing 10 citations and annotations, using APA style guide.
