Project Format.pptx
- 2. Title page. • This should contain the following information: • title of the work, full name of author, • standard wording as shown: THE PROJECT TOPIC YOUR NAME Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Lagos State Polytechnic for the degree of National Diploma School of Engineering April 2021 • month and year of submission
- 3. Authorship declaration • It is mandatory to include as the second page of every dissertation a statement confirming that the document and the work presented in it are your own effort • You must sign this page
- 4. Abstract. • The abstract should be not more than one page in length. • It should allow a reader who is unfamiliar with the work to gain a swift and accurate impression of what the project is about, how it arose and what has been achieved.
- 5. Contents list. • The contents list should give a complete list of what the report contains starting with the authorship declaration (the title page is not included in the contents list). • Tables and figures should have a separate content list
- 6. Acknowledgements. • It is normal to thank those who have given help and support (typically your supervisor should get a kind mention!). • Keep acknowledgements short and business-like, but do take care to remember all those who deserve credit. This is especially important where outside agencies are involved or where experimental work has been carried out.
- 7. Introduction/background. • This section introduces the reader to the subject area of the project. It may include such things as how the need for the system was identified, the nature of the application area, the relationship with any industrial partner and so on. • Where the project is interdisciplinary, this section should provide an introduction to contributing domains. • The aims should be clearly identified
- 8. Introduction Cont. This section should include; • Background of study • Statement of problems • Aim and objectives • Scope of study • Significant of study
- 9. Literature Review • What has been done in this area before • Similar work already done • Used to inform design • Used to support the need for your application • Need to be from quality sources not just a web based search from Google (normally hint that it is a poor project) • Plagiarism needs to be avoided
- 10. Structure (Dev) • Title page • Authorship declaration • Abstract • Contents list • List of tables • List of figures • Acknowledgements • Main body of project including Introduction and/or Background • Literature review • Life Cycle / Specification • Analysis • Design / modelling • Implementation • Evaluation (of deliverable) • Appraisal of achievement • Conclusions • Suggestions for future work • Appendices (including such things as) • User manual • Short examples of code • Documents used or created (e.g. questionnaire) • Relevant correspondence (e.g. appraisal by external client) • Data collected • Evidence of project management (diary, project work schedule (Gantt chart or similar)) • References
- 11. Life Cycle (Dev only) • Discussion about possible life cycles • Critique these within the context of your work • Make selection – justify this • Requirement gathering • Analysis of implementation tools and techniques
- 12. Design (Dev) • Based on literature, HCI theory etc.. • Screen shots – justified • Storyboards • UML or Class Diagrams • Database • Structure of application • Any evaluation of these should be evidenced
- 13. Implementation (Dev) • Code snippets • Key challenges – problems over come • Any changes to requirements • How created – e.g. audio recordings • Software used
- 14. Evaluation (dev) • Discuss methods • Justify your selection • Evaluate based on the method • Results • Discussion
- 15. Research Structure • Title page • Authorship declaration • Abstract • Contents list • List of tables • List of figures • Acknowledgements • Main body of project including Introduction and/or Background • Literature review • Method • Results • Discussion • Conclusions • Appendices (including such things as) • Documents used or created (e.g. questionnaire) • Relevant correspondence (e.g. appraisal by external client) • Data collected • Evidence of project management (diary, project work schedule (Gantt chart or similar)) • References
- 16. Method (Research) • Varies depending on research domain • Discuss possible methods • Decide most suitable method – justify decision • Research Design e.g. independant variables • Participants (if using them) • Apparatus – all equipment used • Procedure – how you did it • Analysis – coding of data
- 17. Results (res) • Normally start with descriptive stats e.g. means • Then have any inferential stats e.g. ANOVA • Make sure you report these correctly • Use Tables • Use Graphs
- 18. Discussion • State the aims of research again • Relate your findings to those of previous studies (Literature Review) • If different why do you think this was the case • Discuss limitations of your study • Suggestions for future research
- 19. Conclusions Critical review (Both Dev & Res) • What you did / found out • Link back to the aims of the project • Critical reflect on the project • What went well • What did not go well • What would you do differently
