Applicability of Green Engineering Solutions

Questions: 1.Explain how this data analysis approach will help answer your research question? 2.Discuss how this data analysis approach is appropriate for the type of data you will be collecting and how it will ensure the validity and reliability of your results? 3.Identify strategies you might use to present the results of this type of data analysis? 4.Identify the challenges you foresee in interpreting and making inferences with this approach to data analysis? 5.Commenting on the relationship between data collection, data analysis and interpreting and presenting research findings? Answers: 1. Chosen Approach to Data Analysis The study for evaluating the Applicability of Green Engineering Solutions in Construction Management will be conducted using the qualitative and quantitative technique. Mackey and Gass (2015) have cited that evaluating the data sources are most helpful and essential for identifying the hidden information and underlying facts for analyzing the research study. Bauer (2014) argued that data source is essential for penetrating the Applicability of Green Engineering Solutions in Construction Management. In this study, both the secondary and primary sources of data are extracted for gaining the relevant and meaningful information related to the study. In this study, various journals, books, articles and website reviewed in the literature review chapter has been considered as a source of secondary data. Further, raw data will be collected in form of online survey, and open-ended interview will be used as the source of primary data. In this study, both the approaches of quantitative and qual itative data analysis will be applied for evaluating the research questions and objectives. The open-ended interviews will be conducted for obtaining the narrative and qualitative data. The obtained data will be analyses using grounded theory and content analysis. Conducting the low level content analysis will allow in providing the descriptive information from the analysis. In addition, conducting the higher level of content analysis will help in providing interpretive analysis of the obtained narrative information. Further, the application of the grounded theory will allow the analyst in determining the involvement of the social science and conceptualizing the information obtained from qualitative data. Apart from that, for analyzing the data obtained from the close-ended online survey will be conducted using quantitative data analysis technique. Linear and multiple regression data analysis models will be used for providing the statistical results obtained from the raw data. 2. Data Analysis Approach in Answering Your Research Question In order to answer to the developed research question, the secondary data sources help in widening the concept of green engineering solutions in different construction projects. The secondary data sources provided the theoretical concepts and analysis with the past theories for providing an answer to the research questions. On the other hand, raw data obtained from the primary sources helps in cratering the information in relevance to the developed question. 3. Data Analysis Approach Is Appropriate for The Type of Data and Ensure the Validity and Reliability The application of the grounded theory and content analysis for analysing the qualitative data is useful as it provides summarization, classification of the descriptive data obtained. In addition to that, the use of statistical tool provides visualization and conceptualizing a large amount of raw data obtained through the questionnaire. In order to ensur the validity and reliability of the collected data, the analyst has ensured that no mental and physical pressure were exerted on the respondents for participating in the questionnaire. In addition to that, the response of the participants with the sense of voluntary participation has been considered for data analysis. For ensuring the reliability and validity of the information obtained from the interview session, the analyst has considered the voluntary participation and conducted the interview session in preferable time provided by the managers for an interview. Apart from that, while conducting the literature review, the analyst has used only the peered reviewed journals dated within the last five years for ensuring validity and reliability. Strategies Used to Present the Results of This Type of Data Analysis Charts and Histograms with statistical results will be sued for presenting the data analysis of the quantitative data while descriptive methods will be used for presenting the qualitative data. 4. Challenges in Interpreting and Making Inferences with This Approach to Data Analysis During the interpretation of the data, various challenges may occur that could impact the analysis of the study. The significant challenge was analyzing the qualitative data obtained from the interview session. The respondents during the interview session can be biased towards their organization that may impact the analysis results. 5. Relationship Between Data Collection, Data Analysis and Interpreting and Presenting Research Findings The data collection process, analysis, interpretation and presentation of the results are inter-related with each other. The data collected from the different sources determines the analysis techniques and tools that will be used for interpretation. The data analysis helps in bringing the summarization and results obtained from the data collection. Furthermore, the procedure for data interpretation is dependent on the data analysis. The presentation of the data analysis helps the reader in gaining a detailed view of the tests and analysis in a detailed yet easy manner. Therefore, the data collection to the presentation of data is related for answering the r4esech questioning in the study. Bibliography Bauer, G.R., 2014.
