Knowledge Workflows for Engineering Research

This technical note sketches a workflow for using AI systems as research companions across engineering reading, modeling, documentation, and reflective writing.

Questions

• What should an AI assistant record during long-running research work?
• How can summaries stay connected to sources and uncertainty?
• Which parts of engineering research should remain intentionally slow and manual?

Status

Draft outline. The next step is to turn this into a concrete workflow with examples from real projects.
