Syllabus

Calendar Entry:
In this final year capstone project, students are required to initiate project ideas, develop feasible and effective solutions, and produce a comprehensive final deliverable. Project topics may cover diverse areas, including applied software development, practical and innovative solutions to everyday challenges, and basic research. The deliverables must demonstrate a thorough integration of the students’ computing expertise and skills. Each project team member must make significant contributions, and individual assessments will be conducted for all students.
