Graduation Project (GP) Procedures

1. Introduction

1.1 Terminology Used:

a) Project Team (PT)

A group of 2 to 4 students working together on the graduation project is called Project Team
or PT.
b) Capstone Project Committee (CPC)
A committee (Capstone Project Committee) formed by the chairman of the department, which
is in charge of all Graduation Projects (GPs) and ensures that the prescribed procedures are
properly implemented for all projects. CPC’s main duty is to ensure that the following
requirements in each GP proposal are satisfied:
 It is a Design problem that has several possible solutions and realistic constraints.
 Project objectives are well defined and clearly stated without ambiguity.
 The project objectives are achievable within two semesters.
 The project can give the students opportunity to demonstrate the required student
outcomes (SOs).
 The project is based on the courses and is not a research project.
 The project selected should not have been done in past years.
c) Main Project Advisor (MPA)
A faculty member, who coordinates a Graduation Project (GP), advises the project team and
is responsible for reporting the assessment data.
d) Supporting Advisor (SA)
A Supporting advisor is optional. The supporting advisor may be a person from within the
faculty or outside, and is assigned the job of advising the students on specialized aspects of
the project.

1.2 GP Duration:
The duration of the graduation project is three semesters.
 Orientation Semester (Sem-0)
 First Semester (Sem-1)
 Second Semester (Sem-2)
The detailed description of the tasks for each semester are given later in this document.

1.3 Objectives of GP
The GP provides an opportunity for students to apply concepts, rules, methods and techniques
learned in their undergraduate education toward a realistic computer engineering project. The
main objectives of the graduation project are:

guidelines for each section.
Title: The title of the poster should include the title of the student’s GP as well as his name and
the name of the department.
Abstract: The abstract is a short informative and descriptive summary of your GP. The abstract
should be descriptive and as such should identify the statement of purpose and scope of the GP. In
addition, the abstract should also be informative and summarize the entire GP, giving the reader
an overview of the methods, findings, and conclusions of your study. The abstract must, however,
be short in length and should not exceed 1 to 2 paragraphs. In total, the abstract should not exceed
400 words. The abstract should be followed by a list of 3 to 5 key words that would be used to
describe and index the GP.
Introduction:
1. Introduction should include clear statements about the question or problem which to be
tackled in the GP.
2. Provide theoretical grounding for the GP.
3. Introduction must end with a clear purpose of the GP.
Method:
1. This section should explain procedures and methods that you completed within your study.
2. Be sure to describe your processes, procedures and, any method, protocols that were followed
within the scope of your GP.
3. Students are encouraged to use block diagrams, algorithms, flow charts or any other visual
aids to express their GP.
Results (if any): The results section is where you will describe the main findings from your
GP. You are encouraged to use tables, charts, and figures to illustrate your results. Be sure to

Design Tips for Poster Presentation:

1. Most students use Microsoft PowerPoint to design posters. Be sure to begin by setting the
page size to your final poster size. More sophisticated programs such as Adobe InDesign,
Illustrator, or Photoshop are other design options that can be used.
2. Use large text (text should be at least 18-24 pt; headings 30-60 pt; title > 72 pt)
3. Do not use more than 2-3 font styles in total
4. Use fonts that are easy to read (such as Time New Roman, Garamond, and Arial)
5. Avoid jagged edges: left-justify text within text boxes or fully justify blocks of text
6. Avoid too much text
7. Choose colors carefully and pay attention to contrast. If in doubt, dark print on light
background is best. Remember - some colorblind people cannot distinguish between red and
green
8. Organize and align your content with columns, sections, headings, and blocks of text
9. White space is important to increase visual appeal and readability (this is the "empty" space
between sections, columns, headings, blocks of text, and graphics)
10. Selectively incorporate charts, graphs, photographs, key quotations from primary sources,
maps and other graphics that support the theme of your poster
11. Avoid fuzzy images; make sure all graphics are high-resolution (at least 300ppi) and easily
visible
12. Include the University logo in your poster
13. Edit the poster carefully for typographic or grammatical mistakes and image quality before
the final print-out (use the print-preview function)
