An independent or group investigation development of an information system to address a business problem under the supervision of a lecturer. Before registering, the student must submit a written proposal to the supervisor to 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 ICT 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.
