The basic characteristics of the IEEE citation and reference style are:
Citation numbers are enclosed within the text in square brackets [1]. The reference numbers stand for the name of the author whenever possible. For example:
"As Smith, Wesson, and Williams demonstrate, the natural course of microprocessor evolution will likely lead to computers with . . . . "
"As [1], [2], and [3] demonstrate, the natural course of microprocessor evolution will likely lead to computers with . . . "
However, this should not be done in the occasions in which the author's name is necessary, such as when citing a theory attributed to one person.
Note numbers are placed directly after the reference rather than at the end of a clause or sentence, unless the reference ends at the end of a clause or sentence.
"Current Internet technology is still years behind industry projections, one study suggested [2]."
In the case of multi-reference citations when more than one work is involved in the same citation, separate citation numbers with commas and without any spaces. If a sequence of three of more citation numbers occurs in the reference, use a single range separated by a hyphen.
"Though unlikely, the same effects were reported by [2,7,12].
"Though unlikely, the same effects were reported by [4-28].
A list of references includes all sources used by the writer. References should be listed by the order of citation, not by alphabetical order.
Book [Citation Numbers] Author's Name, Title of book, [edition, editors, translators]. Location: Publisher, Date.

The name of an article is in quotation marks, and than the name of the source is cited.

- p. stands for a single page on which the citation or reference is; pp. stands for a range of pages.
Bear in mind that most often you need to persuade so as to be granted funds. To achieve this your proposal report has to be clear, logical, and precise.
This is the reason these types or reports are often called feasibility reports.
What is meant by design is the proposed realisation of the idea for a new software, piece of equipment, procedure, etc.
