2/31

The Graduation Project is an important milestone to every student. When a student starts to work

on his graduation project most likely he feels that he has proceed quit enough in his learning to thelevel that permits him to demonstrate his intellectual, technical, theoretical, analytical, problem

solving, communication, and teamwork skills to develop solution for real-life problem. A goal of

the Graduation Project is to challenge the student to go beyond those learning that occur as the

result of his prescribed educational program.

The experience that is gained from working on real-life problem and satisfaction are additional

goals associated with the Graduation Project. The student will derive a sense of

accomplishment through the completion of a piece of work that is a reflection of his interests

and abilities. Also, the graduation projects provides students with opportunities to expand

personal knowledge, explore career paths, and apply learnings to real-life situations. All those

opportunities will serve to benefit the student's experience and promote lifelong learning.

Additionally, the end product may be used to demonstrate the student's skills and abilities to

prospective employers or higher education admission officers.

To enhance the quality of student project work by ensuring that thestudents better manage their time on the project work through the entire

year, focus on project work from the onset of the academic year, better integrate project with all other courses and minimize last minute rush &stress and the resultant problems.

To enhance industry linkages with project work so that the projects arerelevant to the local industry and also to improve employment prospectsof the final year students.

To involve every faculty and staff member of each department in the

graduation project so that the students have the benefit of a wide-rangeof faculty specializations and expertise while they define their project topics.

To improve the links between the department and the industry throughthe project work.

To increase learning opportunities for students to achieve graduate

outcomes & provide a better platform for GO7 KCA (portfolio) assessment

& for PQA.

Technology This layer contains emerging hardware and software technology. The list under this layer isexpected to change every year. It needs to be reviewed yearly through research andconsultation with the IT industry. However, the list for subsequent year needs to beapproved in advance in order to put it on for next year budget.

DatabaseProjects are expected to use database systems to store, retrieve, and manage the data.Currently, there are two leading database systems that are Oracle and MS SQL server.However, student can use any relational database (but, no MS Access) including MySQL,DB2, etc.

Analysis and Design Tools The list in this layer may grow. It is expected that students at this level are familiar with oneor more of the list. It is recommended to complete the analysis and design phase duringsemester 5. Part of the analysis and design can be integrated into other assignments fromsemester 5 courses.

Development Tools The tools in this layer are not required until semester 6 when students start theimplementation. By completing semester 5, a student will be able to work with OracleDeveloper, Jbuilder, VB, and .Net (C# and ASP.NET). Other development tools includingC/C++ can be used, but they need to be approved by the faculty who is supervising theproject.

This project is intended to address the water industry to improve the usage of its water resourcesand control the flow of water in parks, roadsides, gardens, etc. all over the UAE.

Students will need first to familiarize themselves with fuzzy logic technique and my ownfreeware Fuzzy Logic Library and demos found at www.geocities.com/aliadams/fuzzylib.htm.

The FuzzyLib is a set of C++ classes which naturally models the way fuzzy systems are defined(rules) and constructed (fuzzification) and executed (defuzzifiation).

Students with Java background should be able to take on the project with minimal difficulties,they should however have a basic knowledge of, or keen interest in GUI development onWindows platform.

Students will be required to present a written report detailing the project plan, user requirements(from industry if possible), design a suitable solution, and use OOP to implement the solution.The report should also document what has been achieved and what remains to be done by futurework.

Learning Outcomes :Learn fuzzy logic as an Artificial Intelligence technique.Learn how to use class libraries (C++).Learn GUI development on Windows platform.Define parameters and rules for the control of automatic watering systems.Implement a fuzzy logic system to improve the efficiency of such systems.

Technologies :Artificial Intelligence, Fuzzy Logic,Object-Oriented Programming, GUI / Windows Programming.
