Template for an initial project proposal (AIML489, CGRA489, COMP 489, ELCO 489, ENGR 489 and MAI/MCompSci)

This LaTeX file gives some ideas about how to write a project proposal, and also provides a template for your proposal. You should discuss your proposal with your supervisor before you submit it.

Download this file to somewhere sensible, type

pdflatex proj_proposal.tex or latexmk proj_proposal.tex

to make the PDF. (If you use pdflatex, you may need to re-run it several times!)

You'll notice the resultant PDF displays some information you will want to change

Edit the LaTeX file to your heart's content and regenerate the PDF.

• proj_proposal.tex

If you're working from home (or anywhere other than a Linux machine on the ECS network) you will also need the following:

• vuwproject.sty - this is the local (VUW) style file, to ensure our projects have a consistent look.
• VUW_Standard_Landscape_BLACK.eps: image of VUW logo, as .eps (if you use latex)
• VUW_Standard_Landscape_BLACK.pdf: image of VUW logo, as .pdf (if you use pdflatex)

proj_proposal.pdf shows you what it should look like, and is what you get from running latex or pdflatex on proj_proposal.tex

For students who are less familiar with LaTeX you can also use this Word template:

• proj_proposal.doc
