GUIDELINES FOR WRITING FYP TITLES
The following points should be considered when preparing and presenting the title of your FYP.
Keep
the title as short as possible
Delete unnecessary words,
e.g.
A Study of …, A Review of …, An Investigation into …,
Use a colon if it will help
to shorten the title
e.g.
The Integer Building: Chilled System Performance Evaluation
Do not use abbreviations in
the title
Check for grammatical accuracy
Check for correct spelling
Present the title in a clear
and attractive style*
* There is usually a recommended style given by departments for presenting the title page of the final year project and this should be followed exactly in terms of content, size, position, capitalization, etc.
Look at the following two titles that have been 'invented' to show the type of errors that should be avoided. Use the guidelines listed above to improve the titles and type an improved version in the boxes below.
| A study of and investigation into the potential application of the use of design theorey in some shopping mall in Hong Kong |
 |
| AN INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE SELL OF GM FOODS IN HK SUPERMARKETS |
|
The following are examples of a number of final year project titles. Review them critically and consider if there are any improvements that could be made.
