  4. Project topics • You can take one of many different approaches towards your project: • Examples: • Creating a phone app • Analyzing the local benefits of alternative transportation • Collecting meteorological and pollution data • A more comprehensive list of possible projects can be found in the project’s Attachment A: • http://people.ucsc.edu/~gmoulds/CMPE185/AE_AttachmentA_CE185.pdf • As this is a technical course, you may not choose the suggested “Clean Air Video” nor the “Particulate Pollution” Informational Brochure • You do not need to carry out this project, but you will need to design it.

  5. Individual or group project? • You may design projects individually or in groups of two students working together. • Each of you will need to write and submit your own proposal. • Any group-designed project must list all students involved in the project design.

  6. Assignment requirements • Complete the Air Expressions Application form and submit a printout of the forms. • http://people.ucsc.edu/~gmoulds/CMPE185/AE_Grant_Application_CE185.doc • Complete the following sections: • Project title and abstract • Project work plan • Project timeline • Total requested budget • Conclusion/summary • Adhere to application format • You should insert your text into the required format

  7. Assignment requirements (cont.) • Submit information described in Attachment B • http://people.ucsc.edu/~gmoulds/CMPE185/AE_AttachmentB_CE185.pdf • Not all projects will need the draft illustration mentioned in Attachment B section 3, but for many projects this will be useful. • Each item listed in Section 3 of Attachment B should have its own dedicated section. • There may be some redundant information across sections, but you should not copy/paste language exactly.

  8. Special consideration: Your budget • The following budget items are not allowed: • Staff or student salaries • Contractor expenses • University overhead charges. • Any equipment purchased with the grant money will become property of UCSC. • Material costs and transportation expenses are appropriate, but your requests should be reasonable. • Specify these costs in your itemized budget.
