Research Reports - ? for Engineers
Hi,

I'm currently writing a research paper on rapid prototyping. Unfortunately, with my original background in English, I have a tendency to want to define words as an opening paragraph. Therefore, my question is:

Is it inappropriate to quote the dictionary definitions of "rapid" and "prototype" in the opening paragraph of the introduction of a research paper?

Thanks,
indieFan
