Final Year Project

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. independently design and carry out experimental and correlational research that yields valid results; 2. analyze complex engineering problems, reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences; 3. practice engineering design cycle and apply knowledge to design solutions, systems, components and processes in order to meet specified requirements efficiently; 4. carry out experimental work effectively, as an individual or in a team on multifaceted and/or multidisciplinary settings; 5. communicate effectively, orally as well as in writing, on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations using PowerPoint; 6. demonstrate management skills and apply engineering principles to one’s work, as a member and/or leader in a team; 7. to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment; and 8. write and present the chapters 1-5 of their projects on PowerPoint in the second semester and defend it before an external examiner.

Individual research project to be supervised by academic staff. The project should focus on solving national and industrial problems. Topics should be given to the students in the first semester but the project when completed should be finally graded in the second semester to enable them to prepare their proposal (chapters 1-3) for technical writing in the first semester.
