Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have been in high demand in recent years in response to an increasing number of research that indicates how undergraduate students benefit from research opportunities and experiences (Dolan, 2019; Auchincloss et al.,2014; Hensel, 2018; Reisel et al., 2015).
as a research field, engineering education is negotiating input from both qualitative and quantitative methods advocates, both with strong investment in the field.
research designs used in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods to help readers conceptualize, construct, test, and problem solve in their investigation. The Second Edition features revamped and expanded coverage of research designs, new real-world examples and references, a new chapter on action research, and updated ancillaries.
