The
title of your research should explain in sufficient detail what you are
doing. Therefore the project title should be well-defined and concise that
describes the chosen project.

abstract is supposed to be a quick summary of your project and it is
generally a paragraph or two in length. A good abstract will provide the
reader with enough information to understand the basic point of your
project. In short, abstract should introduce the project topic,
significance, procedures employed to carry out the project and the
anticipated conclusions (or results, application, or real world use of the
project)
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

organization / client chosen for the project (if any) can be included.
Details of specific department or functions, if required, can be provided.
Also this includes the rationale for the project (why).

Research Questions
Prepare the
research questions that sets out to answer the research problem specific to
the project chosen.Well-thought-out and focused questions that identifies the
phenomenon to be studied.
Project Objectives
Steps
you are going to take to answer your research questions or a specific list of
tasks needed to accomplish the aim of the project.Prepare objectives that
follows SMART system.

Proposed Methodology
|
|
Prepare the research methods you intend to go about
investigating the research questions. Also provide justification of your
choice.Select methodologies to answer the research questions. The reason
for choosing the particular methodology must be justified properly.

Bibliography
All citations in the literature review section should
be mentioned in bibliography, but not all in the bibliography is important
enough to be mentioned in the literature review. In other words, this

which you will need to assimilate to do your project.
Timeline and Budget
The realistic timeline (plan)
of the project helps to minimize any interruption to the project
activities. Timeline is a step by step guide to the stages of the research
over the time period. Develop a Gantt chart to achieve this. Budget is the
