Proposal Approval Process
The project proposal must be written so that it provides a strong evidence of a student’s thorough understanding of the topic and the capabilities to carry out the work successfully. There are three levels of approvals and signatures required to ascertain that the student in fact has the understanding and capabilities to complete the project successfully. First, the proposal is reviewed, evaluated, and signed by the advisory committee. 接下来, signed Proposal Evaluation Form is attached to the proposal, along with the completed Proposal Cover Sheet and submitted to the ME office for approval and signatures of the 研究生 Advisor and the Department Chair. Refer to the 项目s and Thesis tab for proposal deadline.

Proposal Deadline
The proposal must be approved by the advisory committee, the 研究生 Advisor, and the Department Chair prior to the university deadline for adding a course, usually the second week of February for the Spring semester and the second week of September for the Fall semester. The add-code for the first term project is issued by the ME office only after the approved project proposal has been received. Failure to meet the deadlines can delay your graduation.
Sample Proposals
The following are some representative examples of project proposals. Your proposal may have additional requirements depending on your project committee chair.
