CIS013-3 Research Methodologies and Emerging Technologies
Project proposal
Demonstrate the following knowledge and understanding
Critically investigate existing areas of research related to the course you are studying so as to provide you with a strategy for a major project.
The Task
You will develop a proposal for your final year project. In the proposal, you are requested to define the proposed artefact and identify a suitable research methodology. A member of staff who has agreed to supervise the project will formatively assess a draft version of the proposal and provide suggestions for improvement. A centrally managed process will be used to screen project proposals to ensure that they are suitable. This will help to ensure that your project is relevant to your degree pathway, builds upon material you have covered in other units, and is appropriately challenging for Level 6 studies. Your submission will then consist of the approved project proposal form, ethics form and a list of external resources (journal articles, white papers, web sites etc) that will inform your initial research.
Deliverables
There are two separate submissions;
• Project proposal (maximum 2 pages), submitted on BREO plus a list of external resources (journal articles, white papers, web sites etc).
• Ethics form both you and your supervisor have to sign the form; you submit a scan of the hard copy on BREO; you also must keep the hard copy with you and bring to the viva voce examination to evidence that there are no ethical issues with your project.
In order to pass this coursework assignment (Assessment 1), you will need to
• Answer the questions listed in the template. Use the suggestions in the template to elaborate your answers, including project idea, aims and objectives; features of the artefact; and identifying deliverables;
• Write a professionally presented proposal with regarding to the listed questions;
• Explain the relation between the proposed project and the course that you are studying;
• Explain the methodology that you will be using to develop your artefact;
• List the resources that will be using for developing artefact based on your research;
• List main resources that you have been used and will be used for literature review.
1. You must provide the evidences of the work being from your own, references and quotations being given in the standard manner, and clear discussion and documentation.
2. Your proposal should be logically well structured and clearly written/presented.
3. Clear demonstration of understanding of the technical materials presented in the proposal.

Contextual report
Demonstrate the following skills and abilities
Systematically research the context of a project and underpin the findings with primary data collected using an established research methodology.
The Task
You will write a contextual review summarizing relevant work done in your chosen area. This may refer to a mixture of sources including academic journals and may also survey the tools, approaches or products used in the chosen area. It will require that you identify and critically review the main ideas within your chosen area.
You will also provide a project plan that identifies the tasks necessary to complete your project and present a timeline for its completion. You will also identify, review and report on relevant techniques necessary to validate your design. This will include hardware, software or simulation tools that you will use for analysing your design.
The Contextual Review report should include the following contents:
• contextual review
• planning for artefact
• project plan, with GANTT chart
• references
In order to pass this coursework assignment (Assessment 1), you will need to
• Conduct a literature review on latest development in your project area, including supporting technologies and existing systems
• Conduct review on the tools/platforms/languages/equipment that are available for developing your artefact
• Draw a project plan, with detailed tasks and schedules;
• Plan the artefact, in terms tools/platform/languages/equipment used to develop it, and features that you will be providing;
• Conduct market research if advised by your supervisor.
