Abstract (200 words)

• A crisp, quantitative claim describing what you plan 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)

Retrospective (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 busy you are during the semester and how much effort you can put in. It is OK to attach a JPG or screenshot of your StudentLink calendar.
• Also attach a rough sketch of your proposed plan. Try to use a simple table 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 page)

• Talk to your advisor to get a reading list. By the end of the project, each suggested reference should have a short descriptive paragraph.
