1. Project Summary:

The project summary (or abstract) should provide a clear, concise summary of the project for
a busy reader. It should briefly identify the reasons for undertaking the project. It should be
limited to less than 250 words, and should appear alone on the first page (after the prefatory
pages).

2. Introduction:

The purpose of the introduction is to set out the objectives of the project, describe the reasons
for pursuing those objectives in the context of the past history of the field and the current state
of the art.

The introduction should accordingly start by defining the nature of the issue being addressed
by the project. The importance of the issue, and the benefits of addressing the issue should be
described. The environment in which the issue exists should also be described; the issue may
affect a particular company, organisation, community, or section of the profession. In
describing the environment, the motivations for addressing the issue should be addressed, and
the benefits of resolving the issue to the affected entities should be identified.

The next element is a discussion of the background history and the current state of the art.
This would include the results of the literature review (to date), which will naturally vary in
emphasis depending on the nature of the project. For research investigations, this review may
deal almost entirely with the academic literature. For design projects, existing approaches or
designs for the issue of interest would be discussed, along with any relevant codes or
standards. For investigations of engineering practice, current operating practices and standard
would be discussed. Don’t forget to properly cite any references, using the format (Author1,
year).

3. Project Aim:

What you hope to do, your overall intention in the project. It is therefore generally broad. It is
ambitious, but not beyond possibility.
My aim in this project is … to map, to develop, to design, to track, to generate, to
theorise, to build..

"You aim to accomplish a goal in order to achieve your objective"

How they What they will What purpose

are set be used for they will serve

4. Project Objectives:

Usually more than one, are the specific steps you will take to achieve your aim. This is where
you make the project tangible by saying how you are going to go about it.

Use these S.M.A.R.T. guidelines to try and develop your objectives:

 Specific – avoid general statements, include detail about what you are going to do.
 Measureable – there should be a definable outcome.
 Achievable – be realistic in what you hope to cover, don’t attempt too much. A less
ambitious but completed objective is better than an over-ambitious one that you
cannot possible achieve.
 Realistic – think about logistics. Are you practically able to do what you wish to do?
Factors to consider include: time; expense; skills; access to sensitive information;
participant’s consent; etc.
 Time constrained – be aware of the time-frame of the project.

5. Project Scope:
How to achieve each objective or what need to be done to deliver desired objectives. We can
also add the work that should not be done.

6. Problem Statement:

What is the format (parts of a problem statement)?

A persuasive problem statement consists of three parts: 1) the ideal, 2) the reality, and 3) the
consequences.

1. Part A- the ideal: Describes a desired goal or ideal situation; explains how things
should be.

2. Part B - the reality: Describes a condition that prevents the goal, state, or value in
Part A from being achieved or realized at this time; explains how the current situation
falls short of the goal or ideal.

3. Part C- the consequences: Identifies the way you propose to improve the current
situation and move it closer to the goal or ideal.

Example:

Part A. According to the XY university mission statement, the university seeks to provide
students with a safe, healthy learning environment. Dormitories are one important aspect
of that learning environment, since 55% of XY students live in campus dorms and most of
these students spend a significant amount of time working in their dorm rooms.

However,

Part B. Students living in dorms A B C, and D currently do not have air conditioning units,
and during the hot seasons, it is common for room temperatures to exceed 80 degrees
F. Many students report that they are unable to do homework in their dorm rooms. Others
report problems sleeping because of the humidity and temperature. The rooms are not only
unhealthy, but they inhibit student productivity and academic achievement.

Part C. In response to this problem, our study proposes to investigate several options for
making the dorms more hospitable. We plan to carry out an all-inclusive participatory
investigation into options for purchasing air conditioners (university-funded; student-
subsidized) and different types of air conditioning systems. We will also consider less
expensive ways to mitigate some or all of the problems noted above (such as creating climate-
controlled dorm lounges and equipping them with better study areas and computing space).

7. Research/Design/Model Development/Investigation Plan/Proposed Solution:

This section describes the “process” by which the project objectives are being achieved. The
nature of this process will vary according to the type of project – select a title for this section
that is appropriate for the project. The nature of the plan will vary significantly from project
to project, but for all projects you should break down the project into specific tasks, and
describe the approach that will be taken to accomplishing each task.

6
 Final Year Project Proposal-2017, BSCS, Morning, Section A

For experimental tasks, describe the experimental equipment and specific techniques that will
be employed. For modelling tasks, identify the software packages and computing resources
that will be used, or the platform for the development of any new software. For theoretical
tasks, identify the approaches under consideration or that will be developed. For design tasks,
identify the tools or approaches to be used for each task. For literature review tasks, identify
the databases/indexes and bodies of literature that will drive the review. Obviously, a single
project will often include examples of each of these types of task.

In the research plan, it is important to identify equipment or approaches that are already in
place, and those that will be developed as part of the project. Be sure to discuss the plan with
your supervisor, to make sure there are no misunderstandings as to the availability of
equipment. Your supervisor will also be able to evaluate whether the proposed scope of the
project is realistic for the timeframe available.

8. Project Timeline:

The project timeline describes the sequence of tasks, and the expected initiation and
completion dates for each task. A graphical approach, in particular a Gantt chart, is usually
the best way to describe the project timeline, and as such is required in the proposal. It is
important to identify the tasks that form the critical path for the project, and to take particular
care in the scheduling and management of these tasks.
