Review and consider the existing means that we can use to detect the presence of advanced civilizations in the general (within 100 ly) stellar neighborhood.

This could be by electromagnetic or chemical means.

First figure out what to look for and then figure out how to look for it.

Did he give you any reading material? If not, why not ask him for a few suggestions?

He just mentions the area.
I'm to find the reading material and topic.
He then approves or disapproves my topic.

try http://arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new every day the newest papers are on there. Is this just for a course? How much 'work' are you supposed to do? It's pretty hard to find something really small that 'needs to be done' (for the main reason that somebody would have don it by now).
