Engineering student writers must document their reference sources in their theses, papers, proposals, reports, and related documents that they prepare. This is generally done in Microsoft Word or in a LaTeX software package and typically done in the IEEE citation style which is widely used in engineering and technology. In this work, we identify 25 primary reference types and 21 secondary reference types that are used in present-day engineering writing. Because all 46 of these engineering reference types are typically not available in commercial reference management software, we have generated customization files for the widely used EndNote reference management software package that enable referencing to be done using either Cite-While-You-Write (CWYW) for Word users or using BibTeX for LaTeX users. These customization files and instructions on how to install and use them, herein called the Georgia Tech Engineering Reference Management System (GTERMS), are made available on an open-access free-to-use basis.
