Project (for graduate students):

       

New  Project submission deadline: April 11, 2008

 

New  A group of maximum 3 students will participate in a project. Students will have to submit both the hard copy and soft copy (in word) of their project report. The students should also submit the reference papers with the report. The length of the report must not exceed 20 pages. There will be no project presentation.

 

          There are two types of projects: (1) Design project, and (2) Research project. Any group can choose either one.

 

          (1) Design project: Project specifications, and Project requirements

 

 

          (2) Research project. Project requirements

          

              No two group can do project on the same paper. Therefore, students need approval from the instructor before selecting a paper.

 

 

          Research papers: paper1, paper2, paper3, paper4, paper5,
