What is Ethnography? Something related to engineering?

Answer 1

Ethnography (from the Greek ethnos = nation and graphein = writing) refers to the qualitative description of human social phenomena, based on fieldwork. Ethnography is a holistic research method founded in the idea that a system's properties cannot necessarily be accurately understood independently of each other. The genre has both formal and historical connections to travel writing and colonial office reports. Several academic traditions, in particular the constructivist and relativist paradigms, claim ethnography as a valid research method.

Answer 3

Ethnography is the study of living cultures. It is a discipline that requires extensive fieldwork to actually observe the target culture interacting within its environment. In its truest form, the researcher must eliminate the impact of his/her presence as completely as possible - always observing, but never participating.

Answer 4

I think it's the study of different ethnic groups. Not related to engineering.

Answer 5

enthnography deals more with anthropology. it is a detailed account about a specific culture.
