What is 'applied research' 🧑‍🔧

In this article I would like to talk about “What is 'applied research'”. Let’s understand what it is and answer a few common questions.

It is often referred to as a scientific method of inquiry or contractual research because it involves the practical application of scientific methods to everyday problems.

The key distinction is a preconceived “problem” that needs “solving.” Applied research includes designing, implementing, and testing systems.
