This research proposal need to include:
1. The machine of their selection with historical information (name of the machine,
name of the inventor, if known, date of invention, place of invention) and
significance for the design disciplines.
2. An annotated bibliography listing at least three primary and ten secondary
sources for their machine. Wikipedia and blogs do not count as sources. Each
entry must follow Chicago Manual of Style formatting, and be accompanied by
a single sentence description of how the source may be relevant. While it is not
expected that students will have read every source completely by this time,
they are expected to be familiar with the material and to have an idea of its
possible importance.
3. Five images with analytical captions. The images must be chosen with care and their relevance must be explained by the caption. Images may include drawings, photographs, and diagrams, including those produced by the student.

Some materials were uploaded for get the idea of “machine” we talked about here.
