Pass with at least a C grade for Academic Project I
The main objective of Academic Project I and II is to provide students with the skills in analyzing, designing and implementing computer solutions to a variety of problems.
The aim of the faculty to offer this course is to leverage students’ technical and soft skills.
Through this course, students should be able to demonstrate their technical knowledge, problem-solving, critical thinking and good decision-making.
Academic Project I
Introduction WXES3183 is conducted over a semester. Initial tasks to complete the project such as:
identifying project title, producing a proposaldemonstrating mastery of developments tools
Failure to complete the project in one semester will result in the students awarded with an F grade.
The course is conducted by the respective departments. Hence, supervision and assessments are done by members of the department concerned.
Learning OutcomesAt the end of the course, students will be able
to: i. Analyze problems and produce problem
statements. ii. Identify appropriate solution approach for the
problems. iii. Review literatures related to the problems. iv. Use appropriate programming languages
and/or tools for each solution proposed. v. Identify commercialization opportunity for
the product to be developed.
Synopsis of Course ContentThis course covers the following research
activities:Problem identificationLiterature reviewSolution identificationMastery of the proposed tools/programming
languagesWriting a research proposalResearch proposal presentation (viva) and
show the mastery of tools/programming languages
RolesStudents:
Register the course.Choose the project title and supervisor.Discuss the project title with the supervisor.Perform the academic project diligently. Attend the Research Methodology class (for
Academic Project I).Present the work via Viva/Project presentation.Submit the proposal/report to the office before
the deadline.
Supervisors:Propose project titles on the e-ilmiah faculty
system. Discuss the proposed titles with students and
choose student for each title. Supervise and coach students on the project.Monitor students progressEvaluate and mark students’ reports.
Supervision meetings:frequency of meetings:
by agreement with your supervisor, I would start with once a week and then only make
appointments Some supervisors set a regular slots during the
week for project supervisionsPreparations for meetings:
decide what you need advice and feedback on in some cases, it is better to send things to the
supervisor in advance, to give them time to read and comment
take notes during the meeting if don’t understand something, ask to repeat/explain
Panel Members:Attend students’ viva/presentations for
Academic Projects I and II. Evaluate student’s presentations and their
mastery of tools.
Coordinators:Manage the process of Academic Project of
each department

Evaluation MethodsContinuous evaluation: 100%.
Academic Project I:Supervisor – Proposal - 40%Panels - Mastery of Tools/Viva - 60%
2 panel members (lecturers from your department who are familiar with your topic) will be assigned to evaluate your work.
The schedule of the viva will be prepared by the Coordinator of each dept, usually on Week 13 and Week 14.
Viva will be conducted in the labs or BT/BK. Preparation for the viva:
Slides – to show your research proposal Introduction Problem Statement Objectives Literature Review Design/Model/Analysis/Algorithm
Mastery of the tools/programming languages
Viva
Proposal WritingAll students are required to prepare a proposal for
Academic Project I which contains at least the following information:
Introduction to relevant project/title.Problem statement and the proposed solutions.Project scope. Project objectivesLiterature reviews where the students should be able to
elaborate and make a comparison on the methods/solutions that have been implemented before.
Methodology and system design.Gantt chart. References.
Research Method classFor Academic Project I, all students are
required to attend Research Methodology class which is conducted 2 hours per week (please refer to the time table).
The aim of the class is to provide a set of guidelines to students on how to do research.
Objectives: At the end of the course, students should be
able to:understand some basic concepts of research
and its methodologiesanalyze and define appropriate research
problemprepare and a project proposal write a research report

Academic Project II
IntroductionIn this course, students are required to
design and develop a prototype based on the problem and tools that they have identified in AP 1, write a project report, present and defend their project.
Learning outcomesDepends on your department. For e.g. For AI
dept.....At the end of this course, students are able to :
Develop project using identified tools Demonstrate ethical and professional values in
project development and documentation Write report. Solve problems based on best practices Use knowledge from various sources for project
development
EVALUATION METHOD Continuous evaluation: 100%.
Academic Project II:Supervisor –Report - 40%Panels - System/Viva - 60%
VivaEach student must present their system during the viva/system demo.
ReportEach student must prepare a report for Academic Project II which contains at least the following information: Abstract Introduction to relevant project/title. Problem statement and the proposed solutions. Project scope. Project objectives. Literature reviews where the students should be able to elaborate and
make a comparison on the methods/solutions that have been implemented before.
