Project for students registered for 4 hours
Only graduate students may register this class for 4 hours.
Students registered for 4 hours (ECE/CS 498 NV4)
will need to perform a project that is worth 25% of their final grade.
The project will consist of primarily two components:
1. A survey, and
2. A short research project.
Ideally, the research project will be related to the survey you perform.
The project may be analytical, simulation-based, or
experimental.
GUIDELINES for final report
The report format should be similar to a typical paper,
containing introduction, background and related work
overview or survey (you may use material from the survey
submitted previously), problem description, your solution,
results, and a discussion of the results, and a list of references. There is no specific length
requirement for the final report. Please submit a printout of
the report to Nitin Vaidya by May 1, 2007.
