Year:        III	Lecture:  hours/week
Semester:  VI	Tutorial:  hours/week Practical:  6 hours/week

Course Description:

This course is to introduce to plan and complete project work related with Computer Engineering under the supervision of an instructor or a supervisor. 

Course Objectives:

     On completion of this course, the students will be able to: 

   1.  Develop the ability of a student to tackle, individually, a selected problem to a   reasonable depth of understanding

   2.  Develop the ability of a student to organize and produce a professional product using an engineering approach

   3.  Develop the ability of a student to produce technical documentation to a high standard

   4.  Develop the ability of a student to produce an analytical report which communicates the work carried out in the project and evaluates the final product and the student’s contribution

Description of the Project Work:

The work carried out must be a practical, problem-solving project. It should be a realistic project in the sense that the product should be useful practically as far as possible.

The project should:

•       be intended to develop an IT solution to a practical problem

•       be carried out using an engineering approach

•       emphasize design

•       be carried out individually 

•       Normally result in the production of a piece of software

•       include appropriate technical documentation

•       be fully described from inception to completion in a written report produced to a good    level of professional competence

Procedure:

1.     A detailed project proposal to be submitted to the supervisor or project supervisor for the approval of project work. (10 percent marks for the proposal.)

2.     A progress report to be submitted to the supervisor. An oral presentation of about 15 minutes must be given regarding the project work.( 35 percent mark)

3.     A final written report will be submitted at the end of project work. The report will be evaluated by the project coordinator, the supervisor and the external examiner nominated by the project coordinator. (10 percent project coordinator 20 percent supervisor and 25 percent external examiner.)
