The goals of CSE497 and CSE498 courses are to bring students:
- Responsibility of a project,
- Management skills,
- Team-work habit
- Presentation skills
- Opportunity to meet with academics, industry leaders or workers.
To enroll CSE497 course, you must satisfy requirement of total 160 credits. Show your transcript to your project advisor
For CSE497 and CSE498 courses, firstly, the students are required to possess abilities to conduct an independent ICT project either alone or in a group of two or three. Secondly, they are required to be able to present their work to an audience. Additionally, the students have to attend the seminars that are organized in the context of the courses. In these seminars, selected industry leaders and academics are invited to talk about their experiences and advices to the students in the areas of their expertise. It is compulsory for students to attend these conferences. Failing to attend will result in lost of marks as follows:
* Seminar attendance: %15 of the whole grade
*One absence: nil
*For each absence after the first one: The attendance grade will be computed according to the number of seminars you attend during the semester.
Each group has an advisor who has the duty of overseeing the projects and recommending actions where necessary. Ideally, the groups should contact their advisor once a week, more frequent towards the end of each semester.
Group members normally get the same grade at the end of each semester. However, the advisor has the discretion to grade the members differently. Individual group members or the entire group may be graded "Incomplete" at the end of each semester.
The groups will prepare a 2-3 pages (single space) project proposal. It has to be signed by the advisor. It will contain the following information:
* Name of the project
*Group Members
*Advisor
*Problem Description
- Introduction & background
- General requirements
- Design architecture & h/w and s/w platforms intended to be used
- Time plan
*References
The groups will be notified about the outcome of their proposals by their advisors. The groups whose proposals are rejected must re-submit their proposals with the modifications required.
There will be one presentation for CSE497, and one poster session for CSE498 at the end of the semester.
After the presentation, "Progress Report" will be submitted by each group of CSE497. The report will be at least three pages, single spaced.
The CSE497 progress report must include:
* "MU Computer Eng. Dept. CSE497 Progress Report" (Title page)
* Name of the project (Title page)
* Group members (Title page)
* Advisor (Title page)
* Date (Title page)
* Contents:
- Definition of the problem and brief description of the project
- Software and hardware platforms used
- Tasks accomplished
- Difficulties encountered
- Tasks to be completed in the second semester
- References
The CSE498 thesis must include:
* "MU Computer Eng. Dept. CSE497 Progress Report" (Title page)
* Name of the project (Title page)
* Group members (Title page)
* Advisor (Title page)
* Date (Title page)
* Contents:
* Introduction
- Definition of the problem and brief description of the project
* Related work
- List similar projects that have been done until your project
- Compare your project with related projects (what are the differences between them)
* Details of the project
- Methods (explain the methods that you used in detail)
- Write what is new in your project, what you improved and what contribution you did.
- Software and hardware platforms
* Results
- Graphs or images can be used to analyze your results (explain the results in detail)
- Advantages of the project
- Difficulties encountered, limitations or problems of the project
* Conclusion
* Future work
* References
* Give your code and code documentation in a CD with your thesis. (Do not write your codes in your thesis.)
