+The Introduction brings readers from a general understanding of the topic 
+to a point where they can begin to understand what it is you are intending to do. 
+
+It starts with broad statements and ends with specific statements about your project. 
+Along the way it introduces readers to what has been done in the literature and 
+then tells them why your project results will be different.
+
+The Introduction provides a motivation for the work and tells readers what you will be telling them.
+The following sections may be written simply as paragraphs; 
+nothing more is really needed in the Introduction. 
+You do not have to separate out each section.
+The Funnel model is a good way to organise the Introduction.
+
+1) The funnel model begins with a general statement about the general topical area;
+ for example, “Antennas have been used for communications for at least 100 years”.
+ It then narrows the focus repeatedly with further sentences by introducing work that has been 
+ done in the literature with the appropriate citations.
+ Finally, it reaches your project. By that time the reader knows in general terms what your work
+ is about and understands your motivations. 
+ The number of cited works ranges from a few to very many. 
+ But whatever the number, they are the most significant in the field and have made the most impact on the historical development of the topic.
+
+2) Your specific Aims and Objectives follow. Use bullet points for each and spend a few sentences describing each.
+
+3) Follow your Aims and Objectives with a specific literature review. 
+ In section 1, the review was rather broad. Now is the time to focus in on several journal articles 
+ or products or activities that most closely match your own project work. 
+ Use a few sentences to describe each one and show specifically what was useful about them. 
+ Show how your work would improve on their work. You need only a few here. 
+ Use those that are most similar and most like your project.
+
+End the Introduction with a one-line description of the contents of each following Chapter.For example, “Chapter 2 focuses on.... Chapter 3 describes the work.... In Chapter 4, an outline of the measuring equipment ..., etc.”
