[SSUET]FYP Proposal format for Telecom engineering students.

TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Guidelines for Final Year Project (FYP) – 2011
1. Introduction

Final Year Project, a chance to enhance the technical capabilities of students by implementing their
theoretical & practical knowledge in the field of Research & Development. It is a 6 credit hour
compulsory part of the BS Telecommunication Engineering Program. It consist of the following
important parts
- Group formation: Students are advised to form a group of 4(strictly) students before start of
any FYP activity.
- Proposal writing: In this part a group will write a project proposal to submit their idea to FYP
committee for final approval. Before submission, it is very important here that all groups will
consult internal supervisors to discuss their project ideas, title & area for finalizing it. Most
importantly, discussions should be focused to find an application and problems/issues which
could be the motivation of the project. Groups can start working on their project after final
approval.
- Progress Report: All the groups must remain in contact with supervisor by meeting on weekly
basis. It is also mandatory for all groups to submit their progress report bimonthly duly signed
by supervisor to the FYP committee.
- Mid-Year presentation: A presentation, to portray progress of project, is to be given by all the
groups in the middle of the year in front of FYP committee.
- Report writing: It is compulsory for all the groups to write a detailed report and submit it to FYP.
Formatting of the report should be according to the prescribed format.
- Final Presentation: In this part, all the groups will defend their project in front of a committee
(Consists of FYP member, Internal & experts) & will demonstrate their project.
- Participation in Annual Open House & Job Fair: It is mandatory for all the groups to participate
in Open House & Job Fair held, normally, every year in the month of January.


2. Project Selection

All the students/groups are advised to follow the instructions, given in the following, while finalizing
the project.
- The project idea must address any telecommunication engineering application/Problem
- Physical implementation of project is mandatory
- Project could be software/simulation based but implementation on Hardware like DSP, FPGA is
compulsory
- Before finalizing any project, It is duty of each group to make sure that all resources would be
easily available for the smooth completion of project
- Common areas of project could be (but not limited to)
o Analog and Digital communications
o Signal Processing
o Optical Communication
o Network Security
o Computer Networking



3. Project Proposal

Students are advised to follow the submission deadline very strictly mentioned on the web site and
notice board. Students have to take following points into consideration while writing proposal.
- Proposal should be brief & precise.
- Keep supervisor name anonymous until project get approved by the FYP committee.
- After approval, group can discuss about supervisor with FYP committee to finalize internal
supervisor.
- Proposal should cover the following heading
o Summary
o Introduction & Motivation
o Problem Statement
o Methodology (possible solution with block diagram)
o Required Hardware/Software resources & its availability
o Time line
o Approximated Cost
o References
