Maybe u could try this Jiou,

1)Intro - what is the thesis about? current issues? scope, limitations, thesis report overview
2)Review of the problem - your thesis hypothesis, summary/preview to Literature Review Chapter
3)Literature Review Chapter
4) Proposed Methodology - how are you conducting your thesis? is there a particular methodology or is it experimental or investigative?
5) Data Collection/Analysis - is there any data? describe data sources, preparation of input data (analysis)
6) Calibration and Validation - calibration is where you tried your method 1 and compared with method 2- explain in detail why did you choose method 2 ( your calibration process); Validation - two case studies- you tried your proposed method on two cases - explain your validation process - the results need to match the observed data
7) Applications - any other case studies of your proposed method (method 2)
8) Conclusions and Recommendations
9)Appendices
10)References
Hope this helps, gl (up)

I wouldn't do that Olivia, in my experience it p***es off the supervisor. I am sorry if I am offending you Olivia, I don't mean to, you are trying to help . I would just focus on finishing my thesis and then pursue my supervisor to review my thesis ( just focus in getting my PhD). At any cost I would not piss him off. But if the supervisor is totally unethical, that's a different story. Just my 2C, gl Smilodon

ZOMG I have to comment on this thread, this is so amusing lol
In USA memory stick or USB is a popular name although I find American English a bit weird. I have to speak twice to any American for them to understand my English accent(which is British, ofcourse).
You cannot say petrol in America, instead you use the word gas, hahaa

Oh Smil…I wish I can write rubbish things about my professor or write nothing about him, hehe
On a serious note I think I will write good things about him, how he inspired me to complete my thesis, only because I want him to sign my exam papers and then I never have to see his face again.

No you are not alone Smilodon, my professor is MIA since last year and my funds have ran out. He is supposedly working on a book, atleast that's the reason he gave me for not proofreading my chapters. I am in debt, somehow managing, working all alone form home. I just keep reminding myself that I have to finish the report and be ready from my side. Then when he is back I can force him to proofread and sign my exam papers.
I try not to think about my professor’s activities, whether he is ignoring me or he is not familiar with my subject that well, this makes me very tense and I cannot work on my report for days. So, just focus, focus, focus,…finish the report/thesis work. Think positive Smilodon, we all will definitely attain our goals just that the severity of hardship varies from individual to individual.

There are several websites for jobs related to engineering application. Try the following,
http://www.physicstoday.org/jobs/index.html

I am doing my Phd in engineering with emphasis on GIS, I live in US and there are many opportunities here ranging from teaching to private consultancy. Also there are many opportunities as a researcher in state and federal agencies. I think you will benefit more if you are into modeling/programming compared to other application areas, just my point of view. Hope this helps, gl

Hey tetrisfiend,
Don't feel disheartened, take a break when you feel this way and start working on the report next day. Just think why you are doing PhD? How good you will feel when you finish PhD, just a matter of time, gl

Current Supervisor is a understanding person but I have to still go through the ups and downs of PhD. I cannot forget my previous PhD bad experiences but I just say myself “I want to finish PhD and I will”. I blocked out myself from what people say about me. My only focus is complete my PhD. So, I wish you all the best in your next steps.
Furthermore, to all my PhD fellows just be focused, these feeling of depression, rejection, and hopelessness is just temporary, and we can beat it. “Focus” is the key word. Just wanted to share my thoughts, gl

No worries Angie, I wish you best of luck!
I had been in a similar situation before. I started my PhD in 2003 with a most cruel and malicious professor anyone can ever meet, I dropped out in 2005, I just couldn't take anymore insults, depression and horrible thoughts. I was devastated, PhD was and is my aim and did not know what to do, my supervisor spoiled my reputation in my department. However, then I believed, I will not give up, I wanted to fight everything that comes my way even my own discouraging thoughts and started my second PhD in 2005. I struggled quiet a bit, to build my reputation back in the same department, but I did it and still going through the tough/struggling process.

Hey Beverley,
I use to sleep over the day sometime back. I was slacking quiet a bit in my thesis work so I decided to change my sleeping habits and my daily routine itself. I use to think “let me sleep now, I can be more productive in the night” but this was not working out. If I feel sleepy during the day, I usually finish my household chores and then try to work on my report. If I still can’t then I change my working plans. If I had planned to write and can’t, I try to format document, read articles, format figures or do something related to thesis work. So, I would suggest slowly try to change your sleeping habits.

Hey, I don't have OCD but have known a few people having OCPD. There are several self-help techniques and online forums available to cope with OCD. Here are few of them,

I hope you can finish your PhD successfully. Best Wishes

Oh well, tori don't think about who is telling what...this will make your situation worse, just focus and complete your documentation and thesis related work. Remember to keep your supervisor updated about your progress. Ask lot of questions to your supervisor, even if you have nothing to ask, just to keep your supervisor involved in your research, ask questions with your progress reports.

This is a fresh start for you and you should takeover your supervisor’s offer and start your PhD. Take this PhD as a challenge, which you will succeed because of your confidence and don’t be scared. Think about present and future, think about yourself and not what people are thinking about you. You are extremely lucky to have an awesome supervisor. And if your supervisor is confident about you then you have already got your PhD just need to work a bit and write-up. You are ready for PhD, GL

Angie,
You are scared of starting all over again due to hurtful experiences in the past. You are scared of getting hurt, scared that the past will repeat combined with thoughts that everyone thinks you gave up easily. But also you want to excel in life, through your studies and job. Also you are very confident that you are the best researcher, good student and have the feeling of “I can do this”.
Ok Angie, your past is just an experience, yes it is bad but an experience and you have learned to deal with worst nightmares. You are not the same person you were in 2006. Do not think that this is starting all over, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I agree with Joyce and Smilodon. First step in this situation is to deliver the documentation you had initially promised your supervisor. And then follow-up with emails every week or month on your thesis progress (what are you currently working on? & so on…). Since your funded you need to report your thesis progress. When your supervisor gets a chance to look at your thesis progress all your reports, documents will count and he/she will be able to support you will appropriate response to the project team. Don’t worry your supervisor will respond, get used to PhD atmosphere, GL
