Research Methods
Resources availableMost projects you work on—whether you are developing innovative new products, planning or implementing ideas, proposing ideas, or recommending solutions—will require research. Research can save you time by determining what other similar solutions have already been proposed, what has been tried and tested in the past and what the results were, what patents are already in place, and so forth. The module is designed to help develop your research skills for conducting and disseminating research.Research Methods - Learning Outcomes
