Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng] [Mechanical Engineering] From University of Sussex

This course gives equal priority to quantitative and qualitative approaches, and begins with a comprehensive overview of the research essentials. This includes the formulation of research questions and the connections of theory and method, as well as the core data collection approaches and secondary data sources available to researchers, and the main analytic techniques.Once youÕve established the foundation skills for advanced social research, in the second semester youÕll select four modules from a suite of advanced methods courses taught intensively in week-long modules. We designed this innovative modular format to give you an in-depth understanding of particular research techniques, combining structured lectures with practical workshops in our in-house computer lab. It enables you to fully immerse yourself in particular research approaches, while also providing an effective structure for us to build advanced understanding. This also allows you to tailor you learning experience, focusing more closely on qualitative or quantitative options.
