I downloaded it for my library. It is a good resource. It is especially good for reference to good models for grant proposals.

Free book on capstone projects and undergraduate research and inquiry published
Colleagues interested in capstone projects and engaging undergraduates in research and inquiry projects may be interested in this book which has just been published. Mick Healey, Laura Lannin, Arran Stibbe and James Derounian (2013) Developing and enhancing undergraduate final-year projects and dissertations<http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/projects/detail/ntfs/ntfsproject_Gloucestershire10> 93pp York: Higher Education Academy.
 We argue that there should be choices in the kind of final-year projects students undertake and how they are assessed.  We suggest that diversifying the form of assessment can increase interest and ownership of students in their final-year project. Other methods of assessment investigated include undergraduate conferences, end-of-year shows, presentations to colleagues, academics and professionals, and preparation of consultancy reports, as well as, or in some cases instead of, a written thesis. The book, which was undertaken through a UK Higher Education Academy National Teaching Fellowship Scheme project, draws on over 70 exemplars from across the world; they provide valuable insights into the successes and challenges experienced by others who have adapted their practice over recent years.
The book may be downloaded from: http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/projects/detail/ntfs/ntfsproject_Gloucestershire10.
