ARMPD- Lecture No. 14 (FYP Project Requirement Part 2)

FYP Project Requirement Part 2

Today's lecture was a sub part of the main lecture conducted in the previous lecture. It was about FYP project requirements that should be considered before implementing the project. In other words the Foundation for the project was discussed by the lecturer.

According to what he explained In FYP the main important aspect is the problem. Without a problem there will not be a proper FYP. There are few steps you need to consider about this 

• First you need to identify the area of the re-search
• Find a problem in that area and give sufficient evidence to prove that there is a problem
• Specify the SMART objectives of the problem. (Refer lecture no.5 about SMART objectives)
• Decide the systematic approach your gonna make for your re-search(Primary research/Secondary)
• Select a proper Software Developments Methodology(agile/waterfall)
• Design a evolutionary prototype
• Explain the value of the positive outcomes(both tangible and intangible)

The above Facts should be clearly included in your FYP proposal. The next discussion was all about what makes a good proposal. Meaning the important things that you should consider in your proposal.

- accuracy of the title

- Aims should be clear and SMART

- Familiarity with the current relevant literature  are few of them.

The Content of the project should be as follows.

• Abstract
• Introduction
• Body
• Conclusion
• List of References quoted in the text
• Bibliography
• Appendices

The lecture was concluded by having a discussion about Critical evaluation which played a vital part in the lecture

Refection of the project

Today i learned about gathering information and selecting a appropriate topic for the FYP which i have to present in the final year. In the past couple of months i was clueless and i didn't have any idea what so ever how to select a topic for my FYP. After this lecture i have a basic idea of what i should be doing in order to find a proper problem for my project. That wasn't it, today i learned about Critical evaluation which is a main area when it comes to project. Most of the students including me didn't have a proper idea of what this critical evaluation is. However now i have a basic idea what it is and i am looking forward to implement the important things i learned about the project proposal and critical evaluation for my projects in the future.
