will do a final project of his/her or their choosing related to
the
material of the course.
Project requirements:
Proposal due 5:00pm Friday, Mar. 7, 2014:
Email a paragraph describing
your proposed project to Prof.
LaPaugh.
Include as much detail as possible.
Prof. LaPaugh will reply with any concerns about the content
or
scope of the project. If you are proposing a project
with a
partner, one partner should email the description and the other
partner
should email a confirmation of his/her involvement.
Progress
report
between April 14 and April 18, 2014:
Meet
with Professor LaPaugh to discuss your progress on your
project.
Expect to spend about 15 minutes discussing your
work to
date. You will not give a formal
presentation, but you should prepare slides
(about
8 to 12) that summarize any
algorithms,
system architecture, or experiments you are developing for the
project. Email these to Professor LaPaugh ahead of your
meeting
time.
After spring break, you will be able to sign up for your
appointment
using OIT's office hours scheduling system WASS. Wait
until the
availability of appointment blocks is announced. To use

Project Report due 5:00 pm Dean's Date, Tuesday May 13, 2014:
You are required to submit a final report that describes your project. This must include the statement of the topic and the goals of the project, your methodology and the results. If it is an experimental project, you need to describe what was implemented, the major implementation decisions, how you designed the experiments, and the experimental results. If you developed a system or tool, you may not have experiments per se, but you must describe how you are evaluating the project and the outcome. You should also relate your work to other work on the problem. Your code should be in an appendix or posted on a Web page with the URL provided (Web posting is preferred). If your project is a theoretical study, you need to describe the problem, review what was known about the problem before your analysis, and give the details and the results of your theoretical analysis. If your project is a literature-based project, you need to describe the major issues under study, summarize the major techniques and the theoretical and/or experimental results presented in the literature and critically analyze the results. For any type of project, be sure to include a bibliography of all the sources you used.These topics are fairly broad and
need
further refinement based on students' particular interests.
Students are encouraged to
suggest other
project topics based on their own interests. Check
back for
updates and additions.
