Peace be upon you friends!
I applied for a scholarship to Japan called MEXT scholarship last year, but didn’t manage to succeed for some reasons. I am going to re-apply this year too (for 2017). The scholarship is 2 years research only (no degree), in the meantime, I can take the entrance exam to master degree, and then if I succeed, the scholarship will cover for the master degree (which is my goal).
My problem is the research proposal, as it is the most important paper in the scholarship. My previous one was “in general” as they said i.e. not specialized, perhaps I didn’t write it well… That is why I seek your guidance as all of you are more experienced than me.
What I really want to learn from that scholarship (or journey) is the following:
1- Abilities to work as an electronics designer who works on designing electronics products.
2- Master ARM-based MCUs and their development, which is the basis of today’s embedded systems (I think).
3- Using RTOS like FreeRTOS or others in embedded systems, to be able to use that skill in real world projects and companies.
4- Deal with HMI designs like TFT screen interfaces and stuff. Plus, other new technologies implemented in new products.
5- Robotics design. Meaning the study of robots and how to design them (various types)… not necessary to be that much advanced though (as one can learn the basics, then sharpen his skills by time).
This is to have the ability (and the proper education and degree) to work as R&D electronics / embedded systems design engineer. This field out of all got my interest back in time, and thus I became a Mechatronics engineer… I had self-learnt many stuff that was not in the curriculum and practical work field that I currently work in.
So, what type of research proposal should I write? And most importantly, does it necessary to be a project? Like designing some robot or device? Because I don’t have a certain thing in mind, just want to study and master all that I mentioned above. Especially that the curriculum of the universities that I intend to apply for really suites all that (like literally!).
Can you suggest something? This is the main part of the previous proposal:

Thank you all in advance!
