It is expected that this first section will largely build upon the student’s literature review report but will focus on a specific objective that they intend to pursue, i.e. the problem that the student plans to solve or question they plan to answer. The second part should focus on the proposed approach to the research problem or question, emphasizing how progress will be measured, and why the proposed methods are feasible. In addition to addressing technical merit, students are also expected to address the timeline aspect of their research. (Up to 2500 words.
