Project Proposal
The project proposal should provide a basic description of what your project
is, why it is interesting, and why you have chosen to
implement it in a particular way. Below is a basic outline for the proposal to
be used as a guideline. Please cover all the points listed.
- Project
abstract
A one paragraph description of the project and why it is should be useful
to someone.
- Project scenario
A scenario that highlights how the product will
actually be used by and end-user. Approximately 1 page.
- Design strategy
Provide a description of the overall design, it's
major components, and their purpose. Describe any special constraints
(e.g., cost, speed, size, storage, power) your design needs to satisfy.
State clearly the tradeoffs that will need to be evaluated. Approximately
2 pages.
- Design unknowns
Describe the features of your design that your
group is least familiar with and with which there is no prior experience.
For example, an input sensor for which you may have to deal with
sensitivity and signal noise issues or a development environment with
unfamiliar APIs. Approximately 1 page.
- Implementation plan and
schedule
Outline a plan for implementing your project
describing the pieces to be implemented and tested and how they will be
integrated. Try to come up with a rough timeline for your work and a rough
division of labor between group members. Approximately 1 page.
- Resource requirements
Specify the resources you'll require for your
project. These should focus on the needs you expect to have that are not met
by the standard equipment available in the lab. For example, any special
programming environments, components, evaluation boards, computing
platforms, signals sources (e.g., video or audio), etc. Think of
this as a parts and software list. Approximately 1 page.
- Related work
Search for related research papers, articles, project URLs that are
relevant to your project.
Write one or two sentences summarizing the similarity and/or
difference with what you are proposing. Approximately 1 page.
