This is the first stage of preparing a Research Proposal that could  be used as part of an application to undertake a research degree or to apply for funding to conduct the research.   The purpose of writing the Research Proposal Brief early in the semester is to receive feedback about the suitability of the topic so that by  the time you complete the Research Proposal (due in week 10) the final submission is of a standard that could be used to support an  application for a research degree or for research funding.   The Research Proposal Brief early in the semester is to receive feedback about the suitability of the topic so that by the time is therefore very  important as it provides the basis for feedback that will assist you to prepare an excellent Research Proposal and should be taken very  seriously even though the weighting of the assignment is relatively low. The most important aspect of this assignment is to identify a solid  research question, which also means justifying the question from previous research. This will save you time in the long run. If the proposal  brief is well-designed it will be an outline of the full proposal for the thesis to follow.  You are required to submit a written Research Proposal Brief in academic format (800-1000 words) and give an oral presentation (5-10  minutes) about your research proposal.   This assessment is worth 10% of your marks for SBM1300 and forms the basis of the Research Proposal due in week 10 and worth 40% of  your marks for SBM1300 and your Research Proposal Presentation due week 12 and worth 20% of your marks for SBM1300. Students  develop the Research Proposal across the semester incorporating (a) feedback on the Research Proposal Brief; (b) feedback from the  Feasibility analysis (due week 5 and worth 10% of your marks for SBM1300); (c) learnings from your classes, discussions, feedback and  readings during the semester.  For the Research Proposal Brief you need to prepare an outline of your proposed research topic and  research plan for investigating the topic using the template for the structure below. The document  should be between 800 and 1000 words in length (excluding project title and references). The  recommended lengths of each section are approximate, and will vary depending on the research  question you are proposing to investigate and the methodology you are proposing to use in your  research proposal.  Contents Length (words)  1. Project Title: This is a brief descriptive summary of the proposed research  topic. For ideas on how a project title should look, look at articles in Project  Management journals such as the International Journal of Project Management

1. Project Title
“A feasibility study of using plastic waste in road construction systems”
2. Research Overview and Justification
Plastic waste is increasing day by day and that is one thing that is very difficult to decompose and remains on the surface of earth for centuries. These types of plastics are creating waste for the environment and that is a serious threat for the environment. However, different nations and construction companies are now adopting methods to use these waste materials in to use and they are using it for the road construction. The necessary for this research proposal was needed as to understand the methods and ways to control the increase in waste disposal. It is also very important to make sure to properly utilize the waste plastic and make it use for the road construction process. The article will review and analyse the previous research papers and analyse the effectiveness and flaws, if any that will be discussed. Further, solutions will be proposed.   
3. Condensed Literature Review
Taking responsibility to protect the environment by utilizing the waste particularly plastic waste in productive use is the current trend the companies are adopting. As mentioned by Desai and Attar (2019), the construction process along with the manufacturing process are contributing to a huge amount of wastage on daily basis. This wastage is currently being dumped into the outskirts land of the cities. However there is shortage of land is there which is compelling to think alternatives and hence the usage of plastic waste is being used in different construction process mainly the road constructions. Usman et al. (2018) have discussed that wooden and plastic waste are used and mixed with the mixture during production of cement. 
This is hardening the cement and it is proven very good for the roads sustainability. As supported by Nikolic, Mikic and Naunovic (2017), the usage of waste products in a productive way is solving many problems. At first,
