Engineering (i.e. mechanical, electrical and civil or bridge engineering) unlike science, is concerned not only with knowledge of natural phenomena but also with how knowledge serves the needs and desires of humanity. Variables such as cost, user compatibility, deliverability, safety, and adaptability to different external operating conditions and environments must be taken into account when designing, developing, operationally supporting, and maintaining engineer-created products and services. Therefore, engineering requires the combination of experience, procedures, processes and know-how from multiple fields. In addition, almost all undergraduate research in science and engineering is conducted as part of students’ advanced training. The aim of working in industry motivates them to pursue advanced studies, and this will increasingly be the case in the future. For this reason, engineering students’ perspectives on research tend to be applied in engineering practice. The main goals of research work are to inform work, gather evidence for theories, and add to the development of expertise in the field of study.
