\section*{Instructions for Laboratory Rotation Proposal}
Submit a one-to-two-page written proposal on the rotation (Include any necessary figures and references. Making a succinct proposal for research is a part of the learning outcome of each rotation). The proposal should strictly follow the format of the template. All text must be 12 point single-spaced. Page limits should not be exceeded. Include your name at the bottom of each page of the proposal.
The student should submit the proposal to the graduate school via web form (\url{https://oist.service-now.com/gsplus?id=gsplus_service_catalog_homepage}) for the official record, and also provide a copy of the proposal to the Unit Professor for evaluation. The proposal due date is the end of the first month of the term.
