EE(IM) 4080 Final Year Project

Associate Professor Goh Wang LingFYP Committee Chairman

March 04, 20191

Outline

• Final Year Project (FYP)

• How FYP is related to Final Year Option

• FYP Matters Before Project Allocation/Selection

• FYP Matters During Project Allocation/Selection

• FYP Requirements

• FYP Assessments

2

EE(IM) 4080 Final Year Project• Every final year student of EEE is required to undertake

a project supervised by one or two faculty members.

• You may start your FYP in the next semester and it will spread over one academic year (2 semesters).

• No extension is allowed except for approved semester leave.

• Add/drop during the first 2 weeks of semester is allowed.

3

Is FYP linked to Final Year Option?• FYPs are NOT classified according to options (Electrical &

Systems Eng., Electronic Eng., InfoCommunication Eng.).

• Should you choose an FYP from your final year option? Useful but not necessary or always possible!

• How to tell whether an FYP is in your chosen option?1. By the project title/summary2. By the main supervisor’s area affiliation and his/her

research interest

Try to choose an FYP close to your final-year option

4

Project Selection—Key Information • Each project must have a main/sole FT supervisor from

the School of EEE

• Project Types:• Type A – Projects proposed by EEE professors, URECA-FYP• Type B – Projects proposed by external partners such as

research institutes and industries, such as RI/SCP, ISP.Check with your potential EEE supervisors

RI : Research InstituteSCP : School Collaboration Project, ISP : Industrial Sponsored Project

5

Project Allocation/Selection• Two phases (see next slide)

• Do your homework before selecting project/supervisor

• RI-FYP projects may require interviews by RI supervisors. They may be more demanding and challenging.

• For RI-FYP, ISP-FYP, you may need to go to RI or company outside NTU regularly, say, once a week.

6

Allocation/Selection Phases

• Phase 1 – Selection by Supervisor (Early April)

• Discuss with your potential supervisor• You will receive a confirmation email if the project is

successfully allocated to you

• Phase 2 – Selection by Students and Allocation by Computer (After Exam, from mid to end May). Selection statistics will be provided (email notification will be sent).

Final announcement on allocation: Mid-June

7

FYP Requirements(PRE-REQUISITES after examination results are out for this semester)

• Year 4 standing or in the final study year, meeting all the AU requirements for the BEng degree upon completion of FYP.

• Have a balance of no more than 44 AUs (46 AUs for IEM students) inclusive of 8-AU FYP at point of registration of FYP.

• Completed Professional Internship (PI)*. * ABP students are allowed to register for FYP concurrently

with PI at any given time.* Double Degree/Major students are allowed to register

for FYP if taking up Professional Attachment (PA) during May to July period.

8

FYP Assessments• Interim Assessment

Project Plan/Strategy – Submit to Supervisor at ~week 6 Interim Report – submit to both Supervisor and Examiner near the end of the

first semester of FYP

• Main Assessment Project Final Report – Submit to both Supervisor and Examiner in early April Project Demonstration – To Examiner after report submission Oral Presentation – To both Supervisor and Examiner

• Evaluation Criteria Carry out preparatory work, such as literature search and review Evaluate materials of relevance and understand the background Focus on the main issues, formulate the problem, and identify key tasks Validate the problem statement through analytical studies, simulations,

experiments etc. Write a report and present the work 9

Project Assessment• All FYP reports (interim report, draft and final reports) must

be submitted to Turnitin service to check for plagiarism, where the service produces a similarity score and originality report.

• A master course site will be created for students to submit the FYP report for Turnitin checking.

• Supervisor’s and examiner’s personal course sites will be created for students to submit the FYP reports to the supervisor and examiner.

• A minimum CGPA of 4.50 plus at least an 'A-' grade for the FYP is required for the award of the Honours Degree with Highest Distinction. 10

Submission Details for Semester 1 FYP• Project Plan/Strategy submission: 16 September 2019• Interim report submission: 11 November 2019• Draft report submission: 27 March 2020• Final report submission: 8 April 2020• Demo: 13 – 17 April 2020• Oral presentation: 11-13 May 2020 (after the last exam

paper)

Note: For Semester 2 FYP, please refer to the FYP Website.

11

Useful Information and Guidelines• Check your emails regularly, particularly those starting

with FYP• Visit the EEE FYP website regularly. Guidelines,

schedules, key announcements, and all other important information about EEE FYP are provided.
