I love that https://www.phdresearchproposal.org/engineering-research-proposal-topics/ ties directly into the quantitative proposal list. Engineering research needs measurable results, and topics like renewable energy or market effects fit right in. Having both resources together gives students a huge pool of ideas, from technical to social. It’s rare to find such targeted support that’s also free. I felt like I had a ready-made foundation to build my own dissertation idea.
