An independent or group investigation to address a Software Engineering problem under the supervision of a lecturer. Before registering, the student must submit a written proposal to the supervisor for review. The proposal should give a brief outline of the project, estimated schedule of completion, and computer resources needed. A formal written report is essential and an oral presentation may also be required. At the end of the semester, the introduction, literature review and methodology employed should be submitted for grading.

This is a continuation of SEN 497. This contains the implementation and the evaluation of the project. A formal written report (chapters 4-5) has to be approved by the supervisor. A final report comprising chapters 1-5 will be submitted to the department for final grading. An oral presentation is required.

This introductory course emphasizes quantitative measurements, the treatment of measurement errors and graphical analysis. A variety of experimental techniques should be employed. The experiments include studies of meters, the oscilloscope, mechanical systems, electrical and mechanical resonant systems, light, heat, viscosity etc., covered in PHY 101 and PHY 102. However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction. PHY 108 - General Practical Physics II (1 Unit C: PH 45) Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. conduct measurements of some physical quantities; 2. make observations of events, collect and tabulate data; 3. identify and evaluate some common experimental errors; 4. plot and analyse graphs; 5. draw conclusions from numerical and graphical analysis of data; and 6. prepare and present practical reports. Course Contents This practical course is a continuation of PHY 107 and is intended to be taught during the second semester of the 100 level to cover the practical aspect of the theoretical courses that have been covered with emphasis on quantitative measurements, the treatment of measurement errors, and graphical analysis. However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction.
