内容摘要：

  This seminar is about how to perform high-quality research (especially Master thesis and doctoral dissertation related one) and write high-quality (easily-accepted) technical papers in English. Many students are sometimes wondering how to conduct their research and write quality technical papers; while faculty members may have questions about how to supervise their students. By learning from many other professionals including students, professors, engineers, managers and business leaders, this lecture shares with the audience the speaker’s important lessons and useful experience through many real-life examples. Most of them are based on what the speaker has gained as a doctoral student, faculty member, listener of many talks, and reader/reviewer/editor of numerous papers, theses, books and proposals for three decades. This presentation will also summarize many common English errors and presentation problems we faculty and students tend to make. It will indicate some critical points regarding how to become a responsible, contributing and happy professional and how to make the scientific and technological contributions to benefit human beings.
