Dear RG scholars,
As a Ph.D holder in Mechanical Engineering, one of the challenges I experienced was choosing a topic. Whether you are an undergrad., Masters, Ph.D student or doctoral graduate conducting research, many of the research challenges you will face in developing and conducting quality research—from choosing a topic, to building up your work and every step in between—comes with challenges and lessons.
Briefly share your insights on your challenges and lessons learned during the process.
Very important lesson one must learn is to be prepared to hear "you are a fool" from friends, family and others until you prove otherwise.
R.C.Mittal,
Thank you very much for your contribution. On a very sincere note, family and friends will not understand the rigorous process involved in conducting research. What they often see is the gain not the pain.
Regards
Modestus
Hello Okwu,
I am pursuing my PhD degree now in Mechanical Engineering. I give you some challenges, what I faced in my careers.
1. Pressure from Peers.
2. Pressure from Research.
3. Pressure from Social life.
4. Pressure from Supervisor.
5. Moreover the time, the money, the hard work, giving up other activities.
Good luck.
Once comfronted with a task or problem, there is no need running away from such problem rather it is better to develop a model around the existing problem and find solution procedures to tackle such problems. Thank you.
