Research Proposal

Research Proposal
Topic:
Describe and explore a recent and exciting development in your field. Explain the effect the development or technology has had and evaluate the usefulness of the development or technology. For example, last semester a student who was studying to be a firefighter researched and wrote about the newest developments in safety equipment for firefighters.
Thesis:
A Purdue University, engineering professor has patented a new helmet liner that reduces G-force to a player’s brain by 50 percent which very well could be used by professional football players really soon.
Outline: Some questions to research

 

Introduction

What program at Purdue University does research that involves studying brain damage and inventing ways to prevent it in sports?
Examples of brain injuries of NFL players and the risks involved in playing football
Why is it important to protect you brain?
What protection equipment do NFL players currently use and is it really effective?
Introduce the research of Purdue University concerning helmet lining

 

Funding of Research
Does the government or any organization in the community fund equipment research and development?
How does Purdue University conduct their research? (funding)
What have they found about the current safety equipment of NFL players? Is it reliable?

The Product
What does the helmet look like? Does it replicate that of the current helmet used by the NFL?
How is it different (safety) than the old helmets?
What evidence does Purdue have that their helmet is better?
Should the NFL use these helmets? And if they do, is it worth the mass manufacturing and possibly high price?
Evidence that the NFL needs better helmets
Examples of brain injuries in the past that this new helmet could have prevented
What other sports organizations could make use of this new technology?
