Writing an Exposé
Your thesis begins by writing a detailed project proposal. The more detailed and thorough your proposal, the better your final thesis.
The structure of the proposal is very similar to that of your final thesis or a scientific paper:
- Abstract (~ 200 word summary)
- Research challenge or question
- Literature review
- Proposed approach/methods
- Implementation plan and schedule
- Hardware and software requirements (e.g. head-mounted display, workstation, tracking system)
Examples of thesis proposals:
-
Honors Thesis Proposal For Design and Investigation of Vitiated-Air Heater for Scramjet Engine
-
Masters thesis: Implementation and Evaluation of the TPC-DI Benchmark...
There is no fixed length for an exposé. Much of the material in your exposé will become part of your final thesis. Here is a rough guide:
