As most of the participants in the engineering education research community in the region are trained in the engineering background, VCR relates the cycle of research using the similar steps in most of the scientific research, which are (Phang and Mohd-Yusof 2013) ... 

Following the initial idea given by Phang and Mohd-Yusof (2013), the VCR can be simplified as shown in Fig. 3.1. The research problems must come from the current practice such as problems in learning certain engineering topics and innovative teaching and learning approaches. Some examples are ... 

First-year experience (Abdnl Aziz et al. 2013c Mohd-Yusof et al. 2014)... 

After the problem is identified, it needs to be clearly formulated into a researchable framework. This has been explained by Phang and Mohd-Yusof (2013). The next step is to review the literature of the existing theories from the past and current research or practice reports. This is to ensure that the research is well grounded in strong educational principles or theories (Streveler and Smith 2006). 

The steps of research methodology and data analysis must draw from sound research methodology. This has been explained in Phang and Mohd-Yusof (2013)... 

Despite the debate and competition between the two major paradigms, the selection of a soimd research methodology also depends on the research questions and the nature of the research problems. As the research questions stem from the research problems (Phang and Mohd-Yusof 2013), a researcher should not plan how to do the research (and select the research methodology) prior to the formulation of research problems and research questions. Research questions that require answers... 

UTM is the first imiversity in Asia that offered a doctoral study in engineering education in the year 2008 (Mohd-Yusof et al. 2012). Some of the other universities that offer a PhD in the engineering education program in the world are Purdue University (USA), Virginia Tech University (USA), Utah State Uiuversity (USA), and Aalborg University (AAU Denmark). Later, UKM joined the bandwagon to offer a full research doctoral program in the year 2013.
