CSCI 508 / EENG 508 - Final Projects 


Home Syllabus Grades Schedule Labs Homework Papers Final Projects

Semester:  Spring 2017

Final projects will be done in teams of one or two students.  The goal is to provide deeper understanding and hands-on experience with a specific topic related to our course material.  Another goal is to help improve project skills: project proposal, independent learning, project execution, and presentation (both oral and written).  I will ask for project proposals sometime around the first third of the semester.  I just want a short (one page) description of what you will do, your intended approach, data to be used, and a timeline.

Deliverables

Progress Presentation.  The team should give a short presentation to the class around the second third of the semester.  Everyone on the team should participate.  A schedule will be provided. 

Final Presentation.  The team should give a short presentation to the class at the end of the semester.  Everyone on the team should participate.  A schedule will be provided. 

Report.  Submit (via Blackboard) a final report on the first Monday of finals week.  Reports should be a minimum of 15 pages.  Scoring factors include: quantity, quality, and degree of difficulty of the work; analytical or experimental results; clarity of presentation; and depth of understanding displayed.  Reports should be written in such a manner that a person who is familiar with the class material, but not your specific topic (i.e., other students taking this class), could learn the topic from your report.  Reports should contain the following material, organized logically into sections:
