Comparing Qualitative Analysis Techniques for Construction Engineering
Over the past three decades, qualitative methods have been increasingly applied in construction engineering and management (CEM) research to understand challenges within this industry. However, there remains a lack of resources in the CEM literature on qualitative method selection and implementation specifically applicable to this domain.
PDF Qualitative Methods for Engineering Systems: why we need them and how
the process of doing good qualitative research. As engineering research increasingly focuses on socio-technical systems, in which human behavior and organizational context play important roles in system behavior, there is an increasing need for the insights qualitative research can provide.
Qualitative methods for engineering systems: Why we need them and how
This paper discusses the role that qualitative methods can and should play in engineering systems research and lays out the process of doing good qualitative research. As engineering research increasingly focuses on sociotechnical systems, in which human behavior and organizational context play important roles in system behavior, there is an ...
Guidelines for Using a Case Study Approach in Construction Culture
AbstractThis article seeks to improve the understanding of applying case studies in qualitative research in construction culture. Being a soft and method-complex research strategy, the case study approach is challenging to implement in practice. This ...
PDF Qualitative Research Methods in Engineering
qualitative research methods used by our colleagues in the humanities. Indeed B erliner [3] wonders if the use of qualitative methods, such as those used in educational research, is the hardest science of all. He argues that qualitative research is ofte n considered soft, age 22.1207.2

In the first exploratory talks to choose a suitable research method, the Qualitative Method—here, the qualitative content analysis according to Mayring Footnote 1 —with the help of interview surveys, ... (BIM) clusters, and institutes for business ethics and academic representatives of Civil Engineering.
Using qualitative research methods in engineering design research
Traditionally, research in engineering design has focused on quantitative methodologies whose constructs are familiar to engineers. Our assertion here that qualitative research methodologies that are less familiar to engineers can provide unique scientific insights into the study of engineering design, enabling new findings not obtainable via ...
(PDF) Background and design of a qualitative study on globally
In an effort led by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE, 2007, 2009), a global vision for civil engineering was identified. Within the UK, the Institution ...
Qualitative methods for engineering systems: Why we need them and how
Qualitative research originates from the social sciences, 31 yet it is beneficial for research in engineering, 13 especially in exploratory contexts. Using the standards outlined by Szajnfarber ...
Building Information Modelling in Structural Engineering: A Qualitative
Over the past decade, the fields of civil engineering, i.e., structural engineering, have increasingly used the building information modelling (BIM) approach in both professional practice and as the focus of research. However, the field of structural engineering, which can be seen as a sub-discipline of civil engineering, misses, as far as the authors are aware, a real state-of-the-art on the ...
PDF Background and Design of a Qualitative Study on Globally Responsible
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) led development of the vision statement that is most prominent across civil engineering world-wide. In June 2006, sixty thought leaders from around the globe—representing all career levels and having highly varied backgrounds—convened to define a global vision for civil engineering (ASCE, 2007).
A Qualitative Study on the Impact of Digital Technologies on Building
The purpose of this research is to identify the effect that digital technologies is having on operations of design offices. A series of semi-structured interviews were carried out with experienced practitioners (Consulting engineers and a steelwork sub-contractor) all of whom have witnessed the evolution of the industry to a digital environment.
