3. INTRODUCTION

4. Why Final Year Project
Matters?
 It is one of the most important aspects
of your degree.
 It is the point where you can apply
knowledge or what you have been
learning in the past few years.
 It is the point that creates an ordinary
graduate vs. an entrepreneur.

5. Why Final Year Project
Matters? (Cont.)
 It is the point that creates meaning of
your degree and your existence as a
computer science graduate.
 It is the way of getting exposure and
experience of what real world
problems are, if done properly.
 It will inevitably be used as a gateway
to industry and to discriminate YOU
among your peers.

9. FYP Theme
 Nature of Projects
 Product Oriented Solution
 Research & Development
 Project Resources
 Own Idea !!!
 Search ideas that matches your idea, if you
already have one, and build your idea on
existing ideas
 Faculty
 Industry

15. PROJECT IDEAS

16. What You can Do in FYP?
 Your final year project spans across one
year.
 So, take it seriously and do something
innovative, Don’t just opt to develop a simple
websites or simple ABC management
system.
 Do something which you are passionate
about and that excite you, don’t get afraid,
and accept big challenges. As Shakespeare
said, "Our doubts are traitors, and make us

17. What You can Do in FYP?
(Cont.)
 Utilize technology and go beyond what
was not achievable before.
 Bring Some usefulness: Try to solve
real world issues, it might be big or
small, but at the end of the project it
must contribute in some manner to the
society.

18. Some Project Ideas
 An implementation of research paper (after
all you are a Computer Scientist !!!)
 A combination of hardware + software to
solve a real world problem
 Newest trend/buzz word/paradigm in the
industry
 Working with organization to solve a
problem, more than just an ordinary ABC
Management System (Make sure you
deliver them your project at the end)

19. Project Ideas (Cont.)
 Integrate with online platform such as
LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Code, Live etc
to solve a great problem (Social Networks)
 Unleash computing/storage power by
utilizing cloud platform and achieve
something that was not possible before
Cloud/Grid
 Project following Imagine cup theme and
level:
“Imagine a world where technology helps
solve the toughest problems.”

20. Important Tips
 Also make sure the material and guide
related to your project in available
online, you may also refer to IEEE or
ACM libraries and digital content.
 The relevant Resources (Hardware) to
implement your idea is easily available
and affordable

21. Which Technology/Platform
You should Use?
 The answer to this question is that it
depends on what you want to do in future.
 Perhaps, students are advised to taste
several platforms before graduation and let
final year project be on platform which you
like most.
 For example, Starting from a procedural
language in first semester such as C, move
to learn OOP in C++ & C# and then in final
year make a project such as networking and
database using .NET and Java.

22. Which Technology/Platform
You should Use? (Cont.)
 “It depends on what you want to do in
future” means
 you want to continue your career in
particular platform (probably because you
like it or there are more job opportunities
in it)
 Whatever your reason be for selecting
platform, it’s always better to have
your interest in it.
