Course Purpose

The purpose of this course is to equip learners with the knowledge and skills required to conceptualize, design, and develop a technology project proposal. The course guides learners through the process of identifying a technological or educational problem, formulating research objectives, reviewing relevant literature, and designing an appropriate methodology for investigating or developing a solution. Emphasis is placed on systematic project planning, research design, proposal writing, and effective presentation of project ideas in a professional and scholarly format suitable for technology-based research or innovation.

 

 

Course Learning Outcomes

Identify technological or educational problems suitable for a project.

Conduct systematic searches for scholarly literature and synthesize relevant studies to establish research gaps and justify a project.

Design an appropriate project methodology, including research design, data collection methods, materials, and technological development processes.

Critically evaluate and refine proposed technological solutions through reflective analysis, testing, validation strategies, and informed decision-making
