Final Report:
The final report should be typed on A4 sheets using 12 pt Times New Roman font with 1.5 line
spacing. Margins of 1 on all sides are to be maintained. The total length of the report should not exceed
20 pages (except in groups with four students for whom the limit is 25 pages, and with two students, the
limit is 15 pages) including references and appendices but excluding the cover (with project title) page,
table of contents page and honour pledge.
A copy of the report should be submitted directly to your tutor by 5 pm on 28.10.15. Please check
with your tutor whether he/she prefers a hard or soft copy. A soft copy in the form of a Word document
must also be submitted by uploading the file into a specially provided IVLE workbin. This must be done
by 8 pm on 28.10.15. There will be a penalty for late submission of the hardcopy as well as late or nonsubmission of the softcopy of the final report on IVLE. Students are advised to check their tutorial group
number and upload their reports into the correct folder since reports uploaded into the wrong folder will
not be visible to their tutors, and will be considered a non-submission.
Presentation:
The group project presentations will be held on weeks starting 02.11.15 and 09.11.15 (Weeks 12 and
13), with the exception of Tuesday classes since Nov 10 (Tue) is Deepavali. For Tuesday classes, the
group project presentations will be held during Weeks 11 and 12 unless the tutors make alternative
arrangements. Each week, two project-groups make the presentations. The order of presentation by the
different project-groups will be decided by your tutor in the tutorial class a few weeks earlier. All the
members in a group must take part in the presentation and in the discussions following it.
The total marks for the project including the project execution, the report and the presentation will be
equal to 30 % of the final marks.
Note: When one group makes a presentation, other students are encouraged to take active part by raising
issues and questions at the end of the presentation. This will count towards the tutorial participation
marks (20 %) of the student.
Honour System:
You will be doing this project under an Honour system. As a group, you are required to carry out
the work and write the report without any unauthorized help from others including students in other
groups. You are also required not to give help to other groups. Where material from other sources such as
books, notes and websites are used in your analysis and report, they must be clearly referenced. This is
important. Please refer to the Faculty of Engineering warning on plagiarism:
http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/ugrad/SI_plagiarism.html. Software check will also be carried out on the
reports to detect instances of copying and plagiarism.
An Honour Pledge has to be taken by all students doing the project. This is done by signing the
Honour Pledge sheet and enclosing it with your final report. Please note that the pledge also binds you
not to pass on your work to fellow students who may take the module in later semesters. Your cooperation in this regard is essential and very much appreciated. The inclusion of duly signed honour
pledge in the report is a requirement for the project to be graded.
