Task description:

You are required to submit a coherent research proposal on a certain engineering topicchosen by you. The aim of this assignment is to assess your knowledge and understanding related to conducting a research project and skills in writing a research proposal. It includes the delivery of a structured research proposal, which contains the essential elements of a proposal, as discussed below.This assignment contributes in part to a total understanding of the scientific research process, from initial definition of the research problem, generation of research questions and recommendations for undertaking the research. The overall objective of this assignment is for you to give a comprehensive, well structured, and methodical approach, with adequate supporting literature references, on HOW the particular selected research topic needs to be researched. You are NOT expected to conduct actual research in the selected topic.

Research topic: You may select ANY research topic based on the following criteria:

1. The topic has relevance to the Engineering field;

2. The topic has been the focus of a journal publication;

3. The identified publication (refer to point 2, above) and the supporting literature are relatively recent (publication date is 2012 - Present).

PROJECT SUMMARY

These instructions have been prepared in the format that should be used for the Research Proposal, which are to be submitted as part of the assessment for 4000ENG - Research Methods and Statistics and 7001ENG - Research Methods for Engineers. The instructions are designed to help you provide a proposal that will comply with the recommended format. Proposals should be between 4000-5000 words (not including the reference list and any appendices).

A project summary between 200-300 words is mandatory. The main text of your proposal should be logically subdivided into sections, e.g. introduction, methodology, etc., and contain all the essential elements of a research proposal as described in the document "Research Proposal Instructions", available on Learning Griffith. Format using 2.5 cm margins, 12pt Times Roman typeface and 1.5 line spacing.
