    Outline for Culminating Project Proposal

    For the Engineering Management Program


    St. Cloud State University

    Your culminating project proposal should include the following headings and should be
    in double line spacing. You can use 8 – 10 pages or so to describe your project
    proposal.

    Cover Page

    See format for cover page on the next page.

    1. Introduction

    Provide a brief description of the project and any other background information that is
    relevant.

    2. Problem Statement

    A problem statement identifies the root cause (why) for conducting the project and is
    stated very briefly - may be in a sentence or two. In other words, you need to state why
    you are undertaking this project.

    3. Nature and Significance of the Problem

    State the importance of the problem here and explain how the project will be useful.

    4. Objective of the Project

    List specific objective(s)/goal(s) of your project. The objective of the project can be
    described in a sentence or two.

    5. Project Questions

    State at least 3 questions based on the problem and linked to the objective of your study
    that you will answer when you actually execute the project. Avoid writing yes/no type
    of questions. These questions can be answered after you actually execute the
    project and should be measurable in some way. Stating your questions starting
    with “what” is a good example.

    Hypotheses are essential when working on experimental type of project, whereas


    research questions provide guidance for the kinds of data the researcher should collect,
    analyze, and interpret.

    Compiled by Dr. Hiral Shah – Revised September 2016


    6. Literature Review

    At this preliminary stage find at least 5-8 articles or published literature on the topic that
    you are looking into. The literature may be related to the problem and/or the
    methodology that you intend to use to solve the problem.

    7. Methodology

    Describe how you will conduct the project. Be as specific and detailed as possible. A
    brief review of literature related to your topic can be cited to support your rationale for
    choosing a particular methodology.

    8. Timeline

    Include a timeline that you anticipate to complete your project. You may use the project
    management Gantt chart format or list your activities with expected completion dates in
    a tabular format.

    9. References

    List any references that you have cited in your proposal in APA format.
