Week 9 Research Project Proposal F23 Module 9: Project Proposal YOUR TASK : In this assessment, you will choose a topic to research, develop an effective research question related to that topic, and present possible sources you have found that will help you answer this question. Respond directly to each prompt below by writing your responses in the text boxes provided. Instructions: 1. Complete each step below by responding to the prompt. There are three steps in total. Read the instructions carefully. 2. When completed, check your work and the grading rubric to make sure you have completed all aspects of the assignment. 3. Upload to the submission folder. NOTE that all assignments will be submitted to Turnitin to check for academic integrity issues (which includes the use of AI writing tools). You can upload your assignment before the due date to check the full Turnitin report. If necessary, make changes and upload the assignment again. NOTE: The use of generative AI is prohibited for the writing of this assignment. You can use these tools for help in brainstorming topics and/or finding sources, but these tools should not be used to write your responses. Step 1: Choosing and Narrowing a Topic Before you decide on a research question, you need to pick a topic that is related to your program of study and that is neither too BROAD nor too SPECIFIC. Fill out each section below to show the development of your topic. What is the name of your program at Conestoga, and what field do you hope to work in after graduation? Electrical engineering technician – industry optional co-op 1a) Identify three relevant or contemporary issues/topics in your field? Write the topics here:  Renewable energy integration.  Cybersecurity for electrical systems.  Electric vehicle infrastructure for worldwide.

Week 9 Research Project Proposal F23 1b) What topic or area (from question 1a above) is most interesting/appealing to you and why? ( Write 1-2 sentences ): The significant increase of electric vehicles has led to an increase in the demand for charging infrastructure. Electrical engineering technicians are involved in the installation and maintenance of EV charging stations. They must stay updated on the latest EV charging technologies, standards, and regulations. Additionally, they must consider the impact of EVs on the electrical grid and how to optimize charging infrastructure for efficiency and sustainability. 1c) Narrow your topic: To help develop an open-ended research question, take the specific area of interest you stated above (in question 1b) and brainstorm specific ideas (or keywords) about that topic. What do you already know about the area of inquiry? Write at least 3 different ideas (keywords or phrases) here:  EV chargers  fast charging  wireless charging Step 2: Developing a Research Question Research Question: From the focused topic you chose in the previous section, create a single, focused open-ended research question related to your topic. 2a) In one sentence, phrased as a question, present the question you intend to answer in your project, e.g. What are some of the reasons Canadians choose to purchase electric cars? How the Electrical vehicle beneficial for future? 2b) Why is this a worthy topic of investigation? What do you expect to find as you explore this question? State in 1-2 sentences why this topic/question is relevant to your program of study/career goals and/or why it is worthwhile topic of investigation?

Week 9 Research Project Proposal F23 I believe that researching this topic will made me understand more about the electric industry, while also giving me the opportunity to learn about the electric vehicle, in both cases which will be extremely helpful to me once I become an electrician, both subjects relay on electric chargers wiring and troubleshooting to function. I also want to take part in electric vehicle charging installation industry. I expect to find help optimize the deployment, management, and sustainability of charging infrastructure, thereby facilitating the transition to electric vehicles can reducing the environmental impact of transportation. These insights are essential for informing policy decisions, industry advancements, and sustainable practices in the context of electric mobility and clean energy adoption. Step 3: Finding Appropriate Information In the space below, indicate 3 different sources of information you have found to answer your research question. You are not necessarily required to use these texts in your final project, but you need to demonstrate how and why they could be useful. Fill out each applicable element of the chart below. You will be graded, in part, on your ability to identify at least three different source types. ( NOTE: Depending on the source, some rows will be blank. For example, if you find an article from a website, there is no volume or issue number, so leave that row blank. ) Example Source Chart: Title of Source: How TikTok is Changing Pop Culture and the World Author(s) of source: DW Newsdesk Date of publication: April 28, 2021 Volume/issue # (Journal article only): none Type of Source (newspaper, magazine, website article, journal article, TED talk, video, etc.) Online magazine Source Publication: Digital Weekday Source Access: How did you access the source (Library, website, print)?
