The Research Paper is to be on a subject of interest to you in Transportation / Distribution.
The paper is to be at least 5 pages (double spaced) not including the title page and references page. It should include a clear thesis statement providing an objective for the paper serving as a basis for the direction of your research. The points and direction of your paper should support your thesis. The paper should also include a conclusion based on your research.
At least 7 sources should be used. Just a few sources is not really a good basis for a research paper. Multiple sources enrich the value of your research. Please keep in mind that, should you find it useful, you can also draw upon your own professional experiences. You can also even interview a subject matter expert and use that input as part of your paper, citing the source.
