Project Implementation Procedures:
1. A detailed project proposal not exceeding 10 double-spaced pages
submitted to the department within two weeks of the start of the
project course. This proposal will be reviewed and evaluated by
the concern supervisor.
2. Frequently progress report not exceeding 20 double-spaced pages
shall be submitted at least three times per semester. An oral
presentation will take place for each report.
3. Four weeks after the end of the exam of the second semester will
be dictated for completing the project (practical implementation
and final report writing).
4. Final report will be submitted, reviewed and evaluated by the
project supervisor.
5. An oral presentation of the final report to be conducted and the
team should be ready to explain design detail and answer equations
raised by the judgment committee (at least one external examiner).

Project Description:
Various projects are offered by the department in the electronic and
communication engineering specialization areas. Students are
encouraged to team up and work on projects together. The projects that
are offered are selected to be realistic problems with reasonable
difficulty. Students are guided by their advisors to do literature
search in the area of the problem and to learn about different
approaches and solutions. The second semester is dedicated to
detailed design and implementation of the project. The design should
be test, debugged and documented. An oral presentation about the
project in given at the end of the second semester. In the presentation
all members of the team should be ready to explain design detail and
answer equations raised by the judgment committee.
