CEE 3270 - RESEARCH METHODS IN SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN DESIGN

Minimum Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 2
The goal of this course is to provide students conducting thesis projects with an introduction to research development and many different types of qualitative and quantitative research methods. This course will be taught in collaboration with Clemson University and Virginia Tech in a distance learning setting. This is an active learning course, meaning that students will learn quantitative research methods by practicing the set of procedures. Students are expected to incorporate their research topics as examples throughout the class. Students should take this course twice during their graduate studies. Students in their second semester of research methods will take an active role in mentoring and teaching. Topics in research methods include: defining research problems, conducting a literature review, primary and secondary data analysis, developing experimental designs, survey design, visual presentation of results, research ethics, and the process of writing a peer-reviewed journal article.
