  8. CO600/CO620 Final Year ProjectsHani Ragab Hassenhr42@kent.ac.uk(convenor) Some details about the different types of projects Introduction to research methods

  9. Types of Project • CO600 – Group Project • Students can propose a project, but have to find a supervisor that is willing to supervise • Industrial placement students can suggest projects related to their working experience (One student group) • Involves industrial collaboration • Groups of 3+ (maximum 5) • There is no point of having groups of 2 • There are exceptions for groups of 1 • E.g., year in industry, project involving confidentiality

  10. Types of Project • CO620 – Research Project • For students who are considering postgraduate research • Achieving at 2(i) level or above (ie have an overall Stage 2 average of at least 60%) • Usually the topic is chosen by supervisor • Need to give a presentation to the research group • These are challenging projects • Aiming for submitting a paper to a conference, workshop, etc.

  11. Choosing the Project • Two ways for choosing the project • Propose a possible project yourself (Only for CO600) • You have to find a member of staff who is willing to supervise your project • Select it from a list of project proposals suggested by staff members • select a couple of proposals, contact the supervisor by e-mail • Use the forum to form your group • https://forum.cs.kent.ac.uk/forumdisplay.php?26-CO600-Forming-a-Group

  12. Forming Groups • Groups should be between 3 and 5 members • The larger the group, the more difficult it is to manage its members • Also, more members does not mean less work!! • Individuals are assessed, not the groups • Finding partners • Advertise and interview potential candidates • Use the wiki to advertise your project
