Author Description

This manuscript is a scientific, practical and efficient guide for students in engineering and architecture programs, focusing on research methods and scientific methodology. The book aims to bridge the gap between traditional descriptions of research practices and actual lived research application. It covers the concepts of science, scientific research, literature reviews, experimental and descriptive research approaches, and proposal writing. Written by an experienced instructor, the book takes a unique approach by using real examples from the Palestinian environment to demonstrate the application of research methodology. It will serve as a textbook for undergraduates and an indispensable reference book for postgraduates worldwide. It aims to motivate students to undertake research projects by providing them with a different, more pragmatic approach to research methodology, tailored specifically to the needs of engineering and architecture students.
