- Research problem: an issue or difficulty that will contribute to knowledge
- Types of research problems:
- Optimization: finding inputs that achieve a specified goal
- Modelling: creating a model that delivers correct outputs for known inputs
- Simulation: using a model to predict outputs under different input conditions
Research Lifecycle
- Pre-award: selecting a research area, developing a proposal, and conducting research
