NOTE:

FYP can only be presented during the regular semesters; there is no provision to make a FYP presentation in Special Terms Part I or II.

The overall structure of the integrated industrial FYP follows that of the normal FYP, except that the timeline will be halved. There should be (at least) two supervisors – a CS/ECE academic staff member and an industrial supervisor.

Assessment Criteria

Please refer to the rubrics via "Forms & Guidelines".

Continual Assessment (30%)

Guidelines for CA Presentation:

i.      It could be an informal presentation held in the staff office (supervisor or main evaluator), or in discussion/meeting rooms. If the latter is necessary, for CDE venues, please drop by Technical Services @ E1-04-01, while for SoC venues, the respective CS supervisors could help to book. Alternatively, if student wants to conduct CA presentation virtually via Zoom or Teams, it is the student's responsibility to host and share the (video conferencing) link with his/her respective Supervisor(s) and Main Evaluator.

ii.     Based on the report submitted by students, the supervisors and main evaluators can have informal discussion about the student’s understanding of the project, progress, what s/he would be doing in the next semester, and expected outcome at the end of the project.

iii.    Students may use their laptop to show a few slides.

iv.    Students are allowed to do separate presentations, provided both supervisor and main evaluator are agreeable with the arrangement.

Final Assessment (70%)

Notes for FA Presentation:

i.     The presentation is a compulsory component of the FYP; the main evaluator and moderator will not allocate any mark for a project unless there had been a formal presentation.

ii.     Project presentations are held in a seminar style and a number of parallel sessions would be held. As far as possible, projects in similar areas would be grouped. Each presentation will be scheduled for around 40 minutes, including Q&A. Please refer to the Project Administration System for the presentation schedule of your project (when available, will be informed via email).

iii.    Once a seminar presentation date for a project has been fixed, any request for changes in the schedule will not be considered, as it would affect all other schedules. The only exception is when the request is due to medical reasons.

iv.    The seminar is opened to all staff and students. Academic staff may invite industry partners to attend. For external projects, staff of the external organisation may also attend the presentations.

v.     The presenter should be prepared to answer questions related to the project from the main evaluator, moderator and visitors. Each parallel session is about 3 hours. Presenter must be present at all times during the assigned time-slot.

For the final assessment, the supervisor shall evaluate only the student’s report. He/She may attend the presentation but is not to speak for the student or the project, as it is the student who will be under scrutiny.

The moderator shall be present throughout (the respective session) as he/she would moderate across all projects in the particular session. His/Her evaluation would be mainly based on the presentation and how the student answers to questions fielded.
