Project materials

Overview

The purpose of the projects is to give students the freedom and responsibility to define their own project goals, document the project work, submit a deliverable at the end of the course, and to demonstrate the project deliverable. Brief slides about the project are available here.

Project themes

Project themes should relate to the course goals of the practical aspects of mathematical models,  numerical methods and algorithms for computer simulation. Modelling and simulation is increasingly important in science and technology, and is also used in entertainment such as physics engines for animation and computer games. In the projects software tools should be used to model a problem from reality, a scene, or to build a computer game.

Some inspiration for project themes are available here.

Time line

  1. Write a project specification. Submit to Bilda as soon as possible to get feedback. [Example of a project specification]
  2. Start a blog to document the project work. [Examples of project blogs]
  3. Present work in progress at one of the project seminars, to get feedback. 
  4. Write a report and submit in time for the deadline. 
  5. Make a final presentation at the project seminar March 4

Project group size

The suggested group size is 2-3 students, but projects may also be done individually. 

Project report

The number of pages in the report is really up to you, according to how well you feel that it adequately describes the project. 

General ideas/rules of thumb include (but are not limited to):

1. Present the report in a nice manner - table of contents if large, and appropriate sections and subsections to split text up and make it easier to comprehend and read.

2. Include the main details that you think are important. For example, if you are working as part of a group, a description of the contributions of each group member is a good idea.

3. Include some screenshots in the report. If you did some performance analyses or similar, include some graphs to complement the description.

4. Maybe reflect on the process you took in the project and consider what you could do better/differently if you were starting the project again. What went right? What went wrong?

5. Since you've (hopefully) created a project specification and had some feedback on it, it might be a nice idea to include that in the report and comment on it.

6. Anything else that you think we might be interested to know about the project.

Reports in the form of a .pdf file are appreciated.

Project submission

You should submit all of your project materials (e.g. source, report, blog link, presentation, web-player, etc) as an archive (.zip/.rar/.7z) to Bilda before the final project presentation session on Wednesday March 4. Remember to include the full details of all team members in the submission.
