Resumen

Reality is a complex realm that requires thorough analysis.In engineering research, the importance of qualitative analyses in identifying patterns essential for quantitative comprehension of reality must be emphasized.Many instruments necessitate prior analysis to adapt to new realities.By reviewing the state of the art, necessary patterns for grouping and structuring into reliable measurement instruments are identified.Hence, qualitative analyses complement data collection, enabling researchers to view reality differently to create quantifiable means.Moreover, qualitative processes are necessary for interpreting collected information; they can provide additional insights into data relevance and meaning in both reality and the scientific community.
