Research Methods in Engineering

Research in Engineering is concerned with producing results that can be applied to various disciplines and industries and providing solutions to practical problems. Researchers also often combine engineering with computational science and use tools such as Matlab for simulations, modelling, computing, and data processing. Research in engineering can employ various methods such as empirical methods in conducting experiments, theoretical methods which often use deductive methods to provide proofs, as well as semi-empirical methods such as the method of parameter variation.
