Defining an FYP
The

200-marks final year project (FYP) involves the following:

Research Learning Designing Planning Implementing Documenting Presentation

FYPC time line

The

yearly FYPC session starts from the beginning of the month of March and ends in the month of December There can be a minimum of 3 (three) and a maximum of 5 (five) members in a group The students are expected to complete their project within a period of less then one year The FYPC divides the whole session in two different phases each of them ending in some form of evaluation

FYPC time line Phase #1

Phase

number 1 is Design phase Ranges from March till July In this phase students are expected to:
Perform a thorough research Generate a feasible plan to get

implementable design Define project workload of each member Work out all the resources (including hardware and software) Evaluate near accurate cost required to complete the FYP Learn tools and techniques to complete the FYP

an optimal,

FYPC time line Poster Exhibition

FYPC

arranges Poster Exhibition in the month of July Students will have to present their projects on the poster(s) in a laymans language but maintaining the standards of project presentation / documentation It is expected this year that FYPC may arrange people from outside as well as media sources for appealing projects

FYPC time line Phase #2

Phase

number 2 is Implementation phase Ranges from August till December Following tasks need to be performed in this phase:
Designing hardware Software coding System testing Preparing report

FYPC time line Project Submission

Projects

are submitted in the month of January (next year) FYPC will announce dates / deadlines After the report submission, a schedule will be displayed according to which the students have to:
Present Demonstrate Give Viva, and to an allocated panel

Additionally,

they have to submit their code and soft copy of FYP report with user manual, project setup, and demo video on a CD-ROM

Available Project categories

Hardware

/ Interfacing Web applications 3D graphics applications Communications and Networking Mobile computing Distributed computing Artificial Intelligence

Hardware / Interfacing
This

category deals with any project related to modifying and/or integrating extra hardware to enhance the functionality of a Personal Computer Related areas include:
Innovative

PC peripherals HCI (Human Computer Interaction) Integrating Embedded systems with PC (like Industrial control)

Web applications
This

category covers any kind of application running in a web browser on a Personal Computer Applications are portals, kiosks, web monitoring / simulation etc with a programmed hardware interface available as data source / sink Application must be easily interfaced with social websites and other social services Some of the available technologies include:

Shockwave Flash AJAX PHP ASP.Net Silverlight

3D Applications
Several

options available:

Full-blown

3D games with multiple levels and a level editor 3D on the web (may be using VRML) Interactive web based simulation of existing data with results in 3D Complete 3D movies (this University is the first institution to make the longest 3D movie in the world!)

Communications / Networking
A

wide variety exist:

Innovative

Network simulators Dedicated hardware (or a complete embedded system) for fault finding in existing networks Protocol analyzers / filters / converters Any optimal routing algorithm Extension / availability of enhanced network services using cheap and readily available solutions

Mobile computing
The

technology of today Choices include integrating cellular technology with PCs Making a network of mobile to share the services of a single PC Running transparently PC-hosted applications on cell phones Available technologies are:
Android iOS

Additionally

designing software tools and utilities for transparent execution of interplatform applications

Distributed computing
This

involves projects communicating or utilizing different types of resources between a complete network, different types of networks or two or more PCs located at a considerable distance Most common examples are clusters, grids and cloud computing Extensive support already available on the Internet and mostly free

Artificial Intelligence
An

umbrella term used to represent multiple emerging technologies most common being:
Image / scene recognition Speech recognition Object detection / localization Mimicking human behavior Path finding

The

project related to implement above applications may purely be software without any need of hardware interface Use technology to help the disabled persons

Key words for selection of project

Creativity

and novelty Industrial Interaction Enhancement of good previous projects Implementation of research projects Market awareness and recent technology trends

FYP sources and resources

Students

are advised to consult teachers of their university for working on their ideas this helps in selection of Internal advisor They may search renowned international universities web sites (under Bachelors section Final Year Projects) They may visit well known organizations for getting projects (in this case they have to submit a letter from the organization) They may consult passing out students to continue working on their ideas They may even come up with their own ideas and must visit most appropriate teachers to shape it as Final Year Project

FYP Advisors
Students

can mention probable Internal advisor but the FYPC will be the final authority In addition, there should be an External advisor to be arranged by the students who should be a professional graduate from a well known Engineering Institution and must not have any blood relation with any of the students of a group All the demos of FYP will be arranged in the University campus (exceptions

FYP Evaluation / Grading

A

final year project is a (0+3) (two semesters) grade course! University favors final year students by giving them an extra off day apart from Sundays Students are expected to utilize 3 (three) hours per week (from their additional off day) Students have to prepare a bi-weekly report and have to submit it to their Internal advisor, who after completing one month will submit it to FYPC

Rules and regulations 1

The

purpose of advisors is to guide the students or to set their direction after considering their situation In no way any advisor is responsible for any incompletion of any project whatsoever Group leader will be (mostly) representing his/her projects under different scenarios Once finalized, no student is allowed to change / modify their project group Same rule applies to the project itself changing or modifying a project or a group after its finalization means 25% deduction in total grades!

Rules and regulations 2

Be

careful in submitting proposal report whatever you are presenting in the report should have to be completed otherwise project may be considered incomplete and might be suspended Last year some illegal sources of FYP investors were detected and some projects were identified designed by them please be careful or you will lose your complete year without any excuse!

Conclusion

FYP needs continuous hard work, research and development with sincerity to achieve completion of proposed project
