Abstract (200 words)

• Crisp, quantitative Claim of what you're planning to show
  • e.g. We can make SPICE run 10 times faster using cheap off-the-shelf hardware (correct)
  • e.g. SPICE runs faster when using our ideas (wrong)

Retro-Perspective (1/2 page)

• What do you want to learn from this project? Where do you think you are now
• How do you expect your advisor to help you out? Describe your working relationship with your advisor
• What is the one thing you truly love about computer engineering? Feel free to describe a topic outside the scope of the FYP. What new concepts/ideas/skills did you learn. What do you still want to learn?

Planning (2 pages)

• Include your term calendar. The advisor should have an idea of how loaded you are during the semester and how much effort/work can you put in. It is ok to attach just a JPG or screenshot of your StudentLink calendar.
• Also attach a rough sketch of your proposed plan. Try to use a simple Table format organized by month.
• Attach the plan of actual execution. (COMPARE WITH ORIGINAL PLAN) and comment on the disparity. What did you learn?

Resources (1/2 page)

• What hardware/software infrastructure do you need for your project?
• Are you comfortable with these platforms? How will you learn about these new platforms? Any new requirements emerged over the year?

Reading List (1 pages)

• Talk to your advisor to get a reading list. By the end of the project, each of the suggested references should become short paragraphs of description.
