1. Select/suggest an appropriate topic of interest.
2. Prepare and submit a 3-5 page final report (double-column, by following the standard IEEE journal paper format). You can submit your report earlier, but there will be no extensions and late submissions will not be accepted.
3. Give an 8-minute presentation (6 minutes for presentation of the problem, the background, the approach, and the results; 2 minute for Q&A) in front of the class about your topic through slides and/or demo. (Detailed presentation schedule will be given before May.)
80% of the project grade is on the quality of your written report. And another 20% will be given based on your presentation.
