Materials Science & Engineering

NOTE

Beginning Spring 2023, electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) submitted for graduation requirements should meet the School of Graduate Studies’ Minimum Digital Accessibility Standards (MDAS). Established based on CWRU guidelines and the new OhioLINK recommendations on digital accessibility, the MDAS are as follows:

• PDF file includes full text
• PDF accessibility permission flag is checked
• Text language of the PDF is specified
• Figures and images require alternative text
• PDF includes a title and headings for major sections of the document

For more details see School of Graduate Studies website.

Currently, since it is very difficult to to produce an accessible document via LaTeX on the front end, documents written in LaTeX can be made accessible after conversion to PDF. Instructions on making PDF file accessible are available on the School of Graduate Studies website.

There is no general citation formatting style for engineering disciplines. Engineers utilize citation styles specific to their discipline as developed by their association (IEEE, ASCE, ASME, etc) or by journal publishers and editors. If there are no style requirements, use a citation style you are familiar with and be consistent.
