1. Proposal Document Before the end of the fourth week of fall term (September 15), prepare a satisfactory one page proposal document. This document must contain an overall description of the system/hardware you intend to design. It should describe the idea and motivation for the project and what advantages you believe it will possess over currently available systems. Use the title page format given on the attachment. Explain why you are competent to undertake this work by citing your knowledge and technical support resources in this area. You may cite courses taken, internships in industry, a previous job and so forth. Your objective is to show that the project is realistic in terms of your current knowledge and the technical advice you will receive during the project. In many instances, a student will expect to receive technical support, in a specialist area, from a superior at an intern position. In this case, give the name, position, and address of the advisor. The senior project is your major design exercise. The problem you address must be an open-ended design challenge. A senior project design does not have a single given solution at which any qualified engineer would arrive. There should be many approaches to the design problem. At the end of the design, you should be in a better position to compare one approach with another. What improvements could be made to your design if time and resources allowed? In the proposal document, you should identify any special aspects of the project. For example, do you foresee a requirement for special test equipment not currently available in the laboratory? Will the work have to be carried on outside of Tech (at an employer's location for example)?
