1. OVERVIEW
PLEASE READ THE EXPLANATIONS GIVEN IN THE MCH4999 LECTURE TITLED "Preparing theProject Proposal".
Note that this templete presents you with all the heading and sections that represent a minimum requirement for the project proposal. Your adviser may require additional sections.
Also note that the headings and capstions are all styled such that they are automatically included in the TABLE OF CONTENTS on page ii and is the LIST OF TABLES/FIGURES on page iii. If you break the formatting then you will create a lot of formatting work for your self :-(
1.1. Description of the Project
Describe the project as originally defined by the adviser (the brief project description is on the course website). Include the extra details you obtained from discussions with your adviser.If you need, include figure like this. Figure 1 illustrates the steps electric energy takes between the point of generation an dthe point of use.
Figure 1. Path of electricity from the power plant to the home.
1.2. Literature Review
You should have by now performed a literature review. Explain in this section what similar products are in the public domain and how your product will differ from them and why. Described relevant technologies and methods. Finally briefly describe in what way your product could benefit society.
Include references to other work and data like this. Reference [1] states that a base station’s power consumption can be divided into four main parts: power amplifier (including feeder) consumption, air conditioning consumption, signal processing (analogue + digital) and power supply.Beesare flyinginsectsclosely related towaspsandants, known for their role inpollinationand, in the case of the best-known bee species, theEuropean honey bee, for producinghoneyandbeeswax [2].
1.3. Goals
It is important to be realistic in your project goals. For example you may want to have a fully functional robot, but realistically you may expect only to have an arm with two degrees of freedom of movement. Describe what you expect your final product will be in terms of form and function. This should be in agreement with the project description. At the end of the course the assessors will be comparing your product with this statement!.
2. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
2.1. Technical Limitations
Describe limitiations that affect the goals of your project. This can include limitations in know-how, time and budget. Suggest additional attainable resources that could improve your product.
2.2. Facilities and Components
Describe the facilities that you intend to use (lab equipment, manufacturing platforms etc) and main components (microcontrollers, motors, etc) that you intend to use. Compare the relative benefits of alternative solutions.
2.3. Product Design and Safety
Briefly describe the overall design of your product. Also explain any safety issues and how you will design the product with safety in mind.
Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death and injury in the workplace and the cost of a single accident could easily exceed $1.4 million [3]. Figure 2 provides an overview of the design of the communication system; all transmitters are adhere to safetly regulations.
Figure 2. Overall design of the communication system.
2.4. Technical Problems
Explain what special technical difficulties are you facing in this project. It is important to identify such problems early on so that your adviser can help you.
2.5 Product Specification and Verification
Describe the specifications of your product and how you will verify that they have been met.
Figure 3. Proposed experimental setup to verify specifications.
3. WORK PLAN
3.1 Deliverables and Division of Tasks
Describe broadly the deliverables (outcomes) required to acheive each stage of the project. For example, deliverables will be divided into three main stages: 1. Research and Design; 2. Construction; 3. Testing and Documentation. Give some details under each title.
If the project is a team effort then each team member will naturally be given tasks that are suitable according to their expertise. Describe, broadly, the division of tasks amongts the team members.
3.2 Tasks and Time Line
Using the above deliverables as main headings, write a detailed list of tasks include how, where and by whom the tasks will be carrried out. This list should also be illustrated in the form of a Gantt chart, Table 2. You need to add more details to this table. I’ve added a page break to the beginning and end so that the whole chart has its own page. This is just a crude table; if you can find a better tool for preparing and presenting a Gantt chart them please use that.The duration of the project is 17 weeks; the project title is assigned in the first week, and the final presentation is given in the seventeenth week.
3.3 Cost Proposal
List the cost of each component and any other costs. This can be a tabulated list as shown in Table 1 below. Add some explanations here if necessary.
Table 1. Components and their estimated costs.
Component / Cost (TL)Arduino Uno / 60
SRC-04 sensor / 20
SG90-RC serve-motor / 20
Breadboard, cables and other materials / 30
TOTAL / 130
