CS457/557 Computational Intelligence

Final Projects
Many of these projects have generated SOURCE presentations or other student research products. Students have
learned how to do research, many of them for the first time in their life, since they generally are undergraduates.
They learn not just to write a program, but how to search for references, how to be innovative, how to write a
technical report and how to make a scientific presentation.
