PROPOSAL
TERM PAPER
Term Paper
The term paper is an individual requirement where you will propose
your own biomimetic technology or concept.
These are the characteristics of the biomimetics proposal:
The technology or concept must not yet be existing.
However, you will still need a basis of the concept. This
includes existing products or research. Your concept may be
an improvement or enhancement of current research,
inventions, or products.
The project will be passed on the date of the FINALS
This is an individual project
This will compose 10% of your grade

Term paper
The term paper is different from the Oral Group Reporting since
the reporting is about topics and concepts that are already
existing, while the Special Project is about proposing your own
biomimetic concept that is still nonexistent or futuristic.
Your proposal should follow the following formats:
Calibri/Tahoma/TNR/Arial/Verdana/Garamond font size
10 for body text.
Short bond paper
1 inch margin on all sides.
Minimum of three pages.

1. Introduction
2. Proposal Statement
3. Principle of the Concept
a. Why is it biomimetic?
b. Research
4. Potential Applications
5. Conclusion
