What if I change my
mind later and want
to do something
else?

Advice
There are three main pieces of advice
when writing a proposal. What do you
think these are?
Be realistic
Follow directions
Reader to
understand
Where the
project will
be tested?
Who going

PREPARATION
Think about it
Generate ideas
Background reading
Ask yourself
Am I familiar with other project that has been conducted in areas related to my project?
Do I have a clear understanding of the steps that I will use in conducting my project?
Do I have the ability to go through each step?

Use keywords
as indexed
Example:
Weak (Too little information and Too lengthy)
Controller algorithm for an autonomous underwater glider (Too little)
Controller algorithm based on integration of artificial neural networks,
artificial endocrine systems, and artificial immune systems for a hybriddriven autonomous underwater glider (Too lengthy)

PROJECT BACKGROUND
General review of the area of project
Introduces broad to specific about the project
Use keywords in the title as a guideline
Should start on a broader scale and keep zeroing down to the
problem.
by the time one reads the last sentence of background, he/she should be
having a hint about the problem statement.

OBJECTIVES
15
Example:
The main objective of this project is to design a homeostatic
controller algorithm for a hybrid-driven autonomous
underwater glider. Thus, the sub-objectives are:
i.
ii.
SCOPES
Should show the boundaries, limitations and assumptions of your
project
17
Example:
In order to fulfil the stated objectives, the scope of
this project will be divided into three phases.
i)
Coverage:
Specification
Functionality
Coverage:
Technique
Assumption
18
Example:
ii) In the controller algorithm phase
a) Three artificial systems will be required to
design the homeostatic controller algorithm. These
three systems are an artificial neural network
(ANN), an artificial endocrine system (AES), and an
artificial immune system (AIS). The ANN is designed
as the controller backbone; the AES is designed as
the weight tuner; and the AIS is designed as the
optimiser. These three systems are combined into
a single system to control the glider's overall
motion.
b) The algorithm has been simulated by using
MATLABTM.
c) Only the Euler angles will be considered as the
desired outputs. The glider position will be
neglected as the parameter of interest.

Assumption
19
Example:
iii) In the prototype development phase
a) The glider 3D design will be drawn by using
SolidworksTM.
b) The glider structure will be fabricated, with an
aluminium alloy will be used as the material for
the glider structure.
c) Arduino Mega 2560 will be used as the
microcontroller, DS-Xtend as the communication
module, high flow thruster 400HFS-L as the
propeller, and 12V Li-po battery as the power
system. The sensor module for the glider consists
of an IMU sensor, compass, echo sounder and
GPS.
d) The experimental testing will be divided into
two types: sea test and diving pool test.

METHODOLOGY
Presents the steps you intend to follow to achieve the objectives
Highlight the breadth and depth of the project
Identify variables/parameters
Project design
would be good to put it into a flow chart
System design
would be good to put it into a block diagram

etc)
Provide reliability and validity information to show techniques are valid for
the study
22
METHODOLOGY: PROCEDURE
Describe how the study will be conducted
When, how, where and by whom the data will be collected

EXPECTED RESULTS
Describe your targeted results and it must be consistent with the
problem statements and objectives.
Example:
Expected results of this project can be described as follows:
(i) Prototype:
It is expected that at the end of this project, the prototype of a
hybrid-driven autonomous underwater glider will be developed.
(ii) Algorithm:
It is expected that the homeostatic-inspired controller
algorithm to control the glider motion will be successfully designed
and implemented.
Several analyses will also be produced at the end of this project.
The analyses are:
Hydrodynamics analysis
Controller performance analysis
Benchmarking analysis
