    METHODOLOGY

    The How, What, and Why? Chapter

    METHOD
    Methods are practical

    hands-on steps for doing


    research.
    This usually includes:
    defining the scope of the

    research project
    coming up with a research
    question or hypothesis
    selecting and collecting
    data
    processing that data with
    certain tools to enable
    analysis

    METHODOLOGY
    Methodology is the

    discussionof methods.
    This includes the
    theoretical ideas and
    concerns that inform the
    use of differentmethods.
    Methodological
    discussions are both
    theoretical and practical
    in nature.

    METHODOLOGY
    It describes the rationale for the application of

    specific procedures or techniques used to identify,


    select, and analyze information applied to
    understanding the research problem, thereby,
    allowing the reader to critically evaluate a studys
    overall validity and reliability.

    METHODOLOGY
    This section answers the questions:
    What exactly are you going to do?
    How was the data collected or generated?
    And, how was it analyzed?

    IMPORTANCE OF METHODOLOGY
    It helps others know why you want to do your research in a

    particular way.
    It helps others know that you know what you are doing.
    Others can understand the significance of what you have
    done and make sense of how it all worked.
    It also enables you to write about what you did not do and
    why, and about the weaknesses or limitations of your project
    as well as its strengths.
    It permits others to replicate your study.

    THE STRUCTURE BEHIND


    Whilst there are slightly different variations according to the exact
    type of research, the methodology can be divided into a few sections.
    Describe the materials and equipment used in the research.
    Explain how the samples were gathered, any randomization
    techniques and how the samples were prepared.
    Explain how themeasurementswere made and what
    calculations were performed upon the raw data.
    Describe the statistical techniques used upon the data.

    WRITING METHODOLOGY
    General requirements in writing the Methodology:
    1. Order your procedures chronologically or by type of procedure and

    then chronologically within type of procedure using sub-headings,


    where appropriate, to clarify what you did.
    2. Use the past tense and the third person to describe what you did.
    For example: The sample was incubated at 37C for 3 days. - NOT:
    I incubate the sample at 37C for 3 days.
    3. Describe your experimental design clearly, including the
    hypotheses you tested, variables measured, how many replicates
    you had, controls, treatments, etc.

    WRITING METHODOLOGY
    4. Explain why each procedure was done. Reference may be

    made to a published paper as an alternative to describing


    a lengthy procedure.
    5. Identify the source of any specific type of equipment, a
    specific enzyme, organism, or a culture from a particular
    supplier, which is critical to the success of the experiment.
    6. Describe in detail any modifications to equipment or
    equipment constructed specifically for the study and, if
    pertinent, provide illustrations of the modifications.

    WRITING METHODOLOGY
    7. Precisely quantify measurements (all metric) and include

    errors of measurement.
    8. Describe the dates and the site where your field study was
    conducted including physical and biological characteristics
    of the site, if pertinent to the studys objectives.
    9. Show your Methodology section to a colleague and ask
    whether they would have difficulty in repeating your study.

    WRITING METHODOLOGY
    Other points to consider when writing the Methodology:
    1. Don't mix results with procedures.
    2. Omit all explanatory information and background - save it for the

    discussion.
    3. Dont include information that is irrelevant to the reader, such as
    what color ice bucket you used, or which individual logged in the
    data.

    GANTT CHART

    WHAT IS A GANTT CHART?

    A chart in which a series of horizontal lines shows

    the amount of work done or production


    completed in certain periods of time in relation to
    the amount planned for those periods.

    FUNCTIONS OF A GANTT CHART


    They outline all of the tasks involved in a project, and their

    order, shown against a timescale.


    Gives you an instant overview of a project, its associated
    tasks, and when these need to be finished.

    WHY USE A GANTT CHART?


    You can ensure that the schedule is workable and that the right people

    are assigned to each task


    You can ensure that you have workarounds for potential problems before
    you start
    They also help you work out practical aspects of a project, such as the
    minimum time it will take to deliver, and which tasks need to be
    completed before others can start.
    You can use them to identify the critical path the sequence of tasks that
    must individually be completed on time if the whole project is to deliver
    on time.
    You can use them to keep your team and your sponsors informed of
    progress or use it to communicate that key tasks have been completed.

    CREATING A GANTT CHART

    CREATING A GANTT CHART


    1.Identify Essential Tasks
    List all of these activities. Use awork breakdown structure if

    you need to establish what the tasks are. Then, for each task, note
    its earliest start date and itsestimated duration.

    2.Identify Task Relationships
    The chart show the relationship between the tasks in a

    project. Some tasks will need to be completed before you can


    start the next one, and others can't end until preceding ones
    have ended.
    These dependent activities are called "sequential" or
    "linear" tasks. Other tasks will be "parallel" i.e. they can
    be done at the same time as other tasks. Identify which of
    your project's tasks are parallel, and which are sequential.

    Into Software or
    a Template
    You can draw your

    charts by hand or use


    specialist software.
    Several Gantt
    templates have been
    created
    forMicrosoft Excel.

    BILL OF MATERIALS

    WHAT IS BILL OF MATERIALS?


    A bill of materials (BoM) is a list of the parts or

    components that are required to build a product.


    The importance of a BoM is that it provides a
    complete and accurate picture of what is required,
    and all processes associated with creating a single
    product.

    BILL OF MATERIALS
    The BoM is a multi-level document that provides build data

    for multiple sub-assemblies (products within products) and


    includes for each item:
    Part Name
    Part number
    Quantity needed
    Approved manufacturers list (AML)
    Cost
    Mechanical characteristics
    It may also include attached reference files, such as part

    specifications,CADfiles and schematics.
