There are two rounds of project selection. All eligible students, regardless of GPA, will be able to participate in Round 1. Round 2 is for students who did not manage to secure a project from Round 1. Students may select 3 - 5 projects in each round. All students who want to be allocated a project must rank their preferences in the respective round. Allocation of project to students and staff will be done online via the Project Administration System. Students should check the allocation results online. If, for any reason, you decide to select a FYP after the above selection schedule, please liaise with the professors (potential supervisor) directly. Once the professor and you have reached a mutual agreement, please ask the professor to send the following details to Winnie, with a copy to the FYP Coordinators - Dr Boyd Anderson and A/Prof Hari K Garg: Student Name, Student ID, Project ID, Project Title and Supervisor's consent. The system will be updated accordingly.
Integrated Industrial FYP (a further 6-month extension) is only for those who have done a normal 6‐month industrial attachment and found a good project with the company. It is subjected to the approval of JAC. A proposal with the following contents should be submitted to JAC for their consideration: - Problem & Objectives - Status of work from the first 6-month - Proposed methodology - Proposed deliverables - Availability of resources for work
