# | Component of a thesis proposal | % of experts agreement of | Experts additional remarks | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Proposed definition | % | |||
1 | Research title | The first item that appears to the reader. It invites the reader to proceed to other contents | 73 | It should be reflective of research topic, questions, objectives, content and approach and convey the aim, the purpose, the scope and the outcome |
2 | The abstract | The first item that appears in the TP after the title and of the same significance. It calls the reader in or alienates him out | 79 | Although some experts commented that in several schools an abstract is not a compulsory component of TP, 79% of the experts agreed that the abstract is needed |
3 | Keywords | A set of words or terms used for archiving, tabulation and electronic search on databases | 75 | Keywords are better written by splitting the title into its separate single words or terms. They should include essential terms describing the research topic, the unique sub-specializations and focus of the research (what is researched), the contextual scope of the research (where and when) and the used research methodology (how to conduct the research) |
4 | Background | A gradual preparation from the larger scientific field to the specific field, from wider geographic area to the immediate area, and from the strategic level to the level closer to the examined problem | 74 | The background should place the study within the larger context of the research, create interest to the reader and catch his attention, help him understand why the study is significant, include limitation and arguments of pervious research, and include quotations and statistics leading the reader to go to the next component of the TP |
5 | Statement of the problem | |||
5–1 | Statement of the general research problem | A narrative describing a negative situation prevailing in the investigated urban environment/ecosystem or architectural setting | 92 | A statement which stimulates interest in the study; scientifically explained to convey a simple, clear and specific issue to which a reader can relate”; “equivalent to the negative wording of the research aim”; and “in the humanities and social sciences many dissertations endeavour to establish the conditions of the problem, not to solve it |
5–2 | Statement of the research sub-problems | A narrative that describes the general problem in detail; sub-problems are simply the various causes of the general problem | 84 | One expert commented that “the above definition is valid and useful in causal research types only; other research types might consider different approaches” |
5–3 | Consequences of the problem | A narrative that describes the effects of sub-problems on the investigated environment | 83 | None |
6 | Research questions | A set of questions the research tries to answer. Each question usually covers one of the research sub-problems | 96 | None |
7 | Research aim/goal/objectives | The goal should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely | 96 | None |
7–1 | General aim of the research | A specific and clear statement presenting the overall purpose of the study | 96 | None |
7–2 | Procedural objectives of the research | The sub-goals emanating from the main aim of the study. They provide a roadmap and illustrate important stages leading to sequential targets towards achieving the general aim | 79 | They are articulated sub-goals that in their totality compose the main research aim |
7–3 | Development objectives of the research | The objectives which focus on solving the research sub-problems and eventually solving the main problem of the investigated situation | 74 | None |
8 | Research scope | A statement which defines the thematic, geographical/spatial and temporal limits of research | None | |
9 | Research significance and contributions | Highlight potential positive impacts of the study on the life and environmental qualities | 87 | Expected contributions can only be tentative in the early research proposal stage, the researcher must remain open to unexpected findings upon the finishing stage of his/her study |
10 | Preliminary review of literature | Builds an initial understanding of the problem, identify the most important variables considered, cite methodologies used; make use of the latest findings and record the various recommendations/solutions suggested | 91 | Related directly to the stated research questions; identify areas of controversy in the literature; describe the relationship of each work to others; point the way forward for further research; and be organized into categories or themes |
11 | Research methodology | Contains explanation of the appropriate methods to be used in data collection, analysis, synthesis and presentation; for the extraction of results; and for the development of appropriate approaches or solutions to deal with the research problem | 82 | None |
12 | Research structure and timeline | A brief statement of the main sections of the master's/doctoral thesis arranged on the tentative dates for completing the various stages of the research | 95 | None |
13 | List of references | A list which contains a reasonable number of relevant references on the topic | 82 | None |

by Adam Mekies (MLAUD ’21) — Recipient of the Urban Design Thesis Prize
Within the architectural engineering and construction industry, we have developed diagrammatic representations and software translations of cultural patterns, extruded 2D cities, and built architecture of processed materials palettes. We are not yet able to diagrammatically compute the translation (intent to manifestation) of wild contexts and materials systems. This thesis seeks a hybrid software approach to the bulk manipulations of aggregate, somewhere between that of a wild randomization and a highly refined aesthetic.
By developing new software tools toward the aggregation of “wild” (e.g., rock, soils, and organic matter) rather than “cultured” (cast-in-place concrete, steel beams, and prefabricated urbanism), we may not only achieve new opportunities in the ecological landscape definition of the terms, but also provide tooling for new forms of urban aggregate across more dynamic and less predictable cultural conditions, so called geotechnical urbanism(s). This experimentation is applied conceptually to sea level rise and coastal urbanism surrounding the Boston Harbor.
