Research in computing requires more than just understanding methodology, it demands practical skills in formulating questions, designing studies, analyzing data, and communicating findings. This book guides you through the complete research process using scaffolded, AI-assisted activities that have been classroom-tested with over 100 research students. Each chapter addresses a core competency: discovering your research interests, developing rigorous research questions, designing robust studies, conducting data analysis, practicing peer review, and mastering technical communication. You will learn to leverage AI as a tool throughout the research process while developing the critical thinking essential to quality scholarship. The pedagogical approach emphasizes active learning through structured activities with step-by-step guidance, making the book an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate research methods courses, as well as for independent study by computing professionals entering research.
