PROJECT 1 (CGNB 413) BRIEFINGBy:COIT Undergraduate Project CommitteeDr. Asmidar Abu Bakar (Coordinator Project 1)Pn. Sera Syarmila SameonEn. Surizal NazeriDr. Wahidah Hashim

WHY DO YOU NEED TO DO PROJECT?

Apply knowledge that has been learned in class. Gain experience in developing a system. Learn something new. To create a sample of your work. Requirement to get a degree.

PROJECT 1 ACTIVITIES

• Find supervisor • Discuss a topic with your supervisor or choose from

system: http://sephiroth/spmsv2/index.cfm• Submit your initial report• Keep a logbook• Set a meeting with supervisor every week• Discuss with examiner at least once• Write the draft report• Perform presentation• Write the final report

PROJECT 1 VS. PROJECT 2• The actual scope for project 1 and project 2

depends on the methodology used.• Example 1: Waterfall Model

• Project 1: Literature review, user requirements, system design.

• Project 2: Implementation, testing.• Example 2: Prototyping Model

• Project 1: Literature review, system design (maybe partially), prototype 1, prototype testing.

• Project 2: More design, prototype 2 (or more), final product, testing.

• Discuss expected deliverables (for both Project 1 and 2) with your supervisor.

LOGBOOK• Each student is required to keep a logbook • can be obtained from

• Moodle-lms.uniten.edu.my• Project 1 – Sem 2 2015-2016

• All your progress must be written in the logbook.• Bring the logbook during your meeting with

supervisor.• Supervisor need to read and sign your logbook.

• At the end of the semester, if there are less than SIX signatures, your supervisor has the right to give you an E.

PROJECT CATEGORY 2 project categories:

Research based project Application development project

RESEARCH BASED PROJECT

A Research-based project is an initiative that provides students analyzing related topics in the scope of system and networking.

The selected research topic should be feasible and within the scope expected of an undergraduate.

The project may involve various types of research such collection and evaluation of data, simulation and evaluation of a specific technique, algorithm or protocol, or any other work that contributes to a larger research project as specified by the project supervisor

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

PROJECT • Mobile Application • System and Network Implementation• Embedded System• Computer & Network Application

PROJECT EXAMINER

• Each project will be assigned an examiner.• An examiner is another lecturer who will evaluate

your project together with your supervisor.• Examiners will choose the projects that

he/she wants to examine.• You have no control over who your examiner will

be.• It is COMPULSORY for you to discuss your

project with your examiner at least once during the semester.• Many students don’t do this. • It may cause problem later on.

PROJECT 1 EVALUATION• Marks will be given by your project supervisor and

your examiner.• Marks allocation:

chapters from the whole report.• Supervisor will check and give marks.

Introduction Literature Review

PROGRESS REPORT 2• Chapter 3 -Analysis• Chapter 4 – Design • Chapter 5 – Outcome

PRESENTATION• Will be done in supervisor’s room and evaluated by

supervisor and examiner.• Duration around 30 minutes.• Recommendation and suggestions should be taken

seriously.• Modify report if necessary.• **Conducted before M3 [ week 14-16]

FINAL REPORT

Read the COIT’s final year project guidelines to learn about the format.Should roughly follow our suggested report contents.Make sure grammar is correct.Write with intention that somebody else who read the report will be able to understand what are you supposed to do for the project.Make sure all contents cited from other sources are referenced properly.

SN RUBRIC ASSESSMENT

• Research Based• Application Development

TURNITIN REPORT Students need to submit the summary

page of Turnitin report The report should contain less than 40% similarity index during Milestone 2 and Milestone 3 deliverables.

[progress 1 & progress 2]

PROJECT GUIDELINES FOR SYSTEMS AND NETWORKING

• There are two guidelines that you need to obtain.• COIT Project Guidelines for Systems and Networking • Report Writing Guidelines

• Both documents can be obtained from Moodle /SPMS System

Moodle:• please register yourself • Project1-Sem 1 2015-2016• key : cgnb413sn• * all communication is via class notice /Moodle

FACILITIES

• Money allocation• Each of you are allocated RM 400.00 for buying

equipment. [project 2 only!!!!!]• Procedures:

• Get form from lab technician.• Fill in the required information.• Get your supervisor to verify.• Bring back the form to lab technician.• The technician will buy the items for you.

FACILITIES• You CANNOT buy:

• Pirated software• Books• Software that is already available in the lab.

• Remember that whatever you buy, they belong to the college.• Make sure you return them to the lab by the end

of your project.• Failure to do so may cause your grade to be

suspended.

FACILITIES• Final year project lab• There is a computer lab dedicated for

final year project students.• BW-4-R06.• You can use the lab for:

• Research (browsing the Web, etc).• Development.

• If you need to install any specific software, please contact the lab technicians.

FAQS

• I cannot finish my project 1 in this semester. Can I extend?•NO.. Definitely NO unless you have a

health problem (e.g. MC for 2 months• Can I change my project in the middle of project 1?

• Yes, with the permission of the supervisor.

FAQS

• What if I don’t like my examiner?• Live with it…

• What if my supervisor becomes unavailable?• If it can be planned (i.e. maternity leave), please

lecturer got fired), please see the project coordinator.

COMMON PROBLEMS• Fail to follow the deadline.• Poor attendance for meeting with supervisor.• Fail to meet the examiner at least once earlier during

the project.• Plagiarism / cheating.
