Outline of MSAE Professional Project
The outline for Professional Project, once completed and signed by all parties, is an agreement among the student, the student's project director and the
Graduate School of Management for the student's planned research. The student's approved outline must be attached to this form. The form must be
signed by the student, the student's project director and the MSAE program director, and submitted to the Graduate School of Management by the
deadline set forth in the academic calendar in the Graduate Bulletin. If the student's research involves humans, the student is required to obtain
approval from the Office of Research Compliance. Attach a copy of the "Protocol Summary Form" and subsequent approval letter. If the form should be
submitted omitting any information or signatures, the Graduate School of Management will return the unapproved form. As soon as the Graduate
School of Management approves or denies the form, they will notify the student at the student's Marquette University email address.
