A project
proposal may include all of the following sections:
Title of project
The title should be concise, as long titles
are cumbersome to accommodate in information retrieval systems. Select
appropriate key words or phrases, and avoid rambling and meaningless statements
such as: An investigation into the possibility of
conducting research in . . . Do not start a title with a
present participle, such as Investigating, or Analysing. The
title should rather read: An analysis of…This
should provide a snap shot of your proposed project.
See Annex – I
for title page format.
Background of the project
Make sure the proposal starts on a general
level with some type of introductory remarks before going into the details of
the specific research question you are proposing. This
can be accomplished by providing a frame of reference, a definition, or a
discussion of the significance of the topic in the field.
This section should explain the background of
the project, what motivated you to take up the project and the contribution to
knowledge which you wish to make. Indicate why this area you have
chosen for the project is important? Keep in mind SPQR technique
for this section (Situation, Problem,
Question and your Response).
Objectives
Clarify the objectives of the research show what you want
to achieve. Where feasible, objectives should be divided
into general and specific objectives, and should be numbered. In
writing the proposal, it is important to remain focused on the objectives.
Literature review
The literature review is written to place your study
within the context of existing knowledge and other studies in your discipline. It
gives recognition to other scholars and it also allows you to point out what is
new about your research. Be sure to indicate if you
are building on a previous study or a well-established
theory; addressing certain gaps in knowledge that exist; or adding to existing
knowledge by doing a study with a different or more complete methodology.
This section is a review of the literature which should
outline the important studies that has been carried out related to your project. This
would provide you assessing the state of knowledge and the knowledge gap and
therefore help you putting your project in a perspective. An
adequate literature review is required in all research proposals, especially if
funding is required. The purpose of the
literature review should:
§ Provide
evidence to the faculty research committee that you are well acquainted with
past and current research in the field of study.
§ Prove
that the thesis/dissertation will not duplicate past or
current research.
§ Indicate
how the intended research relates to similar and past research; in other words,
the literature review positions your research within the existing body of
knowledge.
Methodology
Provide a full description of your general
research design, as well as the specific methods and procedures used in your
research project. The methodology should be sufficiently
detailed so that it can be replicated. If you are following a
methodological approach developed by others, cite the relevant studies. Provide
diagrams, charts, and illustrations as appropriate for your discipline. List
the instrumentation you used and provide a diagram of the experimental setup.This
section should outline the methodology that you plan to follow
in the course of undertaking of the project:
·
The framework of your study.
·
How data/information
will be generated and the flow chart showing the steps /stages
gathered and how you expect to analyze the data.
·
Indication of the theoretical concept you may
be using
·
Special consideration where the project
involves interaction with the people and their environment where applicable,
and how would you deal with risks and uncertainties in the course of the
project undertaking.
·
Brief of description of software/models
you purpose to use.
Expected Result
Describe the project’s
expected result, which may include impacts on the engineering field, societal and
economic benefits, etc.
Time schedule
This section should summarize the schedule of
undertaking of the project activities and the approximate timing within
available time frame.
Estimated Budget
This section should include the details of
estimated budget.
References
