Important

Make sure that every team member reads the proposal before submitting it

Be smart and save time in the future, write in the convenient verb tenses Use: This project is aimed to the design

of an autonomous car. As opposed to: This project will be about an

autonomous car.

ABSTRACT

An ABSTRACT can be the most difficult part of the research report to write because in it you must: introduce your subject matter, tell what was done, and present selected results, all in one short (about 150 words) paragraph.

The most common type of ABSTRACT is the informative abstract. A good way to develop an informative abstract is to devote a sentence or two to each of the major parts of the report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An Executive Summary is an accurate representation of the contents of a document in an abbreviated form.

Executive Summaries are summaries provided for readers who do not have time to read the entire document.

The Executive Summary must be a self standing document, sufficient in content to ensure that the reader can completely understand the contents of the Project.

One to two pages Follow this link for Executive Summary Format

Results Evaluation

You need to explain how your results will be evaluated at the end of Senior Design II

This semester you are promising Objectives to be met Constraints to be satisfied Standards to comply with Patents not to infringe

Next semester you will compare your results to each of the individual promises but you need to tell now how you are planning to do it.

Life-Long Learning

This is a very important Section and of high interest for ABET

Write a ¾ page essay about what would be required to get your project into production and make it an activity to continue into the future. What would you require to do to keep yourself current in the

topics What actions should be taken in order to keep your project in

the market Indicate what Technical Societies, magazines or activities of

lifelong learning you are engaged If you are not members of IEEE it would be a great moment as

you are still students and it would be very inexpensive Being an IEEE member is something good to show in your

Resume as well
