1 Organizing the Introduction

2 An Introduction Looks Like a Funnel
General knowledge Knowledge gap Current study: Equations Principles Constraints Hypothesis

3 General Knowledge is Broadcast
Start with what everyone already knows Real-life examples Historical development Biographical details Paint a picture of the current state of the topic General knowledge Knowledge gap Current study: Equations Principles Constraints Hypothesis

4 Addressing the Knowledge Gap
What is missing from the current understanding? What principles need to be investigated? What new procedures might solve old problems more efficiently? How could a scientific principle be applied to a practical project? General knowledge Knowledge gap Current study: Equations Principles Constraints Hypothesis

5 Current Report is the Most Narrow
Equations you use to evaluate data Fundamental scientific principles you use to draw conclusions Constraints or specifications that demonstrate the limits A hypothesis of how you expect your topic will improve the current situation General knowledge Knowledge gap Current study: Equations Principles Constraints Hypothesis

6 The Introduction Sets the Tone
Equations and scientific principles establish the professional vocabulary Procedures section describes how you tested the hypothesis Discussion/Conclusions describes the difference between what the theory expects and what you actually see General knowledge Knowledge gap Current study: Equations Principles Constraints Hypothesis

7 Tips for Success Anything in present tense belongs in the Introduction
Concepts, principles Specifications and constraints General conditions Equations and definitions Supplemental questions provide context – answers belong here Outside research can help, but cite all sources
