- 2. 2 Introduction Research implies the study & exploring of knowledge to get new ideas. Rescarch methodology is a way of solving the research problem systematically. Research Method & Research Methodology. These are two different but related terms. Research Method is a part of Research methodology. The research design depends upon some common design questions like what to study, why to study. where to study & what type of data is required. The need is to
- 3. 3 follow the systematic step by- step approach to solve a research problem. Research Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. According to "Clifford Woody" research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested
- 4. 4 solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data: making deductions and reaching conclusions: and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. The term 'research' refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problem, formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain conclusions either in the form of solutions(s) towards the
- 5. 5 concerned problem or in certain generalizations for some theoretical formulation. Objectives Scope Of Research The scope of research contains a search for understanding the physical, and sometimes psychological universe. This advances into applying scientific methods to refine the basic understanding and evolving new techniques to apply the facts that have been revealed and to create different techniques and materials. Some research is directed to creating new useful stuff, and some is just to understand how things can be created or even deconstructed. Lots of research is beneficial, and much is meaningless except for the sheer pleasure of understanding how
- 6. 6 things work. Engineering is the application of science and much research is synonymous with engineering.
