SGO		 Submission of Report 1: Project Specification

This is a very important document. It contains the project 'external' specifications, i.e. what the project will accomplish. This is in a way a contract between your project supervisor (who will evaluate your work) and you. It should contain clearly stated:

  • minimum specifications which, if well met, should obtain grade B.
  • extensions which, if well met, should obtain grade A.
  • proposed division of work among group members, and a proposed schedule for design, implementation, integration and testing.

SGO		 Submission of Report-2: Project Design/Implementation
Report-2 is an in-progress report which should contain the already established internal design features of the project. By this time an early integration of the different contributions should have been attempted. Without early integration attempts it will be difficult to complete the project, prepare the presentation, finish the documentation, etc. in the remaining weeks.
06-12-02 10-01-03

Completion of project implementation/integration/testing.

By this date the project should be virtually completed and working properly. Final tuning and minor modifications could occur later but these may jeopardise the integrity of the product demonstration which follow.
N/A 06-01-03 to 15-01-03 MEng Only: Rehearsal of project 15 minute oral (Schedule to be added to the Project List). Note this is just a rehearsal; it will not be used to assess the project, and will not be attended by the project supervisor
09-12-02 to 13-12-02 13-01-03 to 24-01-03 30 minute examination of the project, which should include about 15 minutes of presentation (with OHP/projector) plus 15 minutes demonstration of software working. You are free to mix the presentation and demonstration in any manner which makes the material interesting.

SGO		 Submission of Final Report

Report-1 and Report-2 are normally integrated into the first two thirds of the Final Report. In the rest of this report the final product is described, along with an evaluation of the problems and triumphs the group have experienced. In an Appendix there must be

  • table showing the dates of the group meetings, including which member attended each meeting
  • a table of the hours per week spent by each member on the project
  • the Log-Book

All the material must be placed in a single binder/folder, and the code produced by the project placed on a CDROM inside the binder/folder. The CDROM should include any (non-proprietary) third party software essential to the project that is not found on the standard Linux or Windows insallations within DoC.

MEng Only: A one page loose leafExecutive Summary must be included in the binder/folder
