Course subject(s) Module 1. Introduction to Research

In this section we discussed both the science cycle and the engineering design cycle as processes in which research can take place:

Science Cycle and the Engineering Design Cycle side by side

From these cycles research is often carried out using the more linear derivatives, the scientific method and the engineering method respectively:

Finally, we discussed difference between deductive and inductive reasoning and the associated risks:
