| − | '''Important Note on BOSS Bidding:''' after acceptance of the project proposal, you will need to bid for your faculty supervisor's IS483 or IS485 section during '''BOSS Round 2, Window 1'''. You should bid only '''e$10'''. Please note that if there is an insufficient e$ balance in your account, you will NOT be able to enrol for the project experience course, even if your team's proposal was accepted.

| − | | '''Objective and Scope'''
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * To design and implement a smart city application that incorporates a combination of technology enablers, and which addresses an urbanisation, sustainability, or societal challenge in domains such as housing, environment, etc.
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * '''(Analytical)''' To conduct an evidence-based analysis of smart city blueprint (locally or overseas) or analytical models addressing an urbanisation, sustainability, or societal challenge in different domains such as housing, environment, etc.
| |
| − | * '''(Research)''' To conduct research based on an identified problem related to addressing a smart city challenge. The scope may include a new algorithm / approach, simulation, and/or analysis for urbanisation, sustainability, or societal challenge in different domains such as housing, environment, etc.
| |

| |
| − | | '''Recommended Skill-sets / Pre-requisites'''
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * You should have passed: ''IS111 Introduction to Programming'', ''SMT203 Computational Social Science: Principles and Applications'', ''IS112 Data Management''
| |
| − | * For the '''AY2022 SMT intake''', ''IS212 Software Project Management'' is a co-requisite
| |
| − | * Other highly recommended courses: ''Interaction Design & Prototyping'', ''Web Application Development I & II'', ''Internet of Things''

| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * IS483 application projects require a sponsor. These can be self-sourced external sponsors from the private or public sector. The project can also be sponsored by a SCIS faculty.
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * A sponsor is optional for IS485 research projects. You can pose your own research problem, or choose to work on one suggested by an external party or SCIS faculty.

| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * You do '''NOT''' need to identify a faculty supervisor for an IS483 project. We will assign your team to one.
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | * You '''MUST''' identify a SCIS faculty who is willing to supervise the project. Please obtain their agreement and include their name in your proposal. Proposals without an agreed faculty supervisor will be rejected.

| − | =Multi-Track Application Projects=
| |
| − | From AY2022/23 Term 2 onwards, SMT major students may form IS483 (application project) teams with students from an IS major track. Please take note of the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The IS major students in your team must all be from the same IS major track. For example, you can have an SMT+BA, SMT+DCS, or SMT+FT team, but NOT an SMT+DCS+FT team.
| |
| − | * There must be at least two SMT major students in the team.
| |
| − | * You must have at least two students from the chosen IS major track.
| |
| − | * Your project must fulfil the requirements of SMT major projects '''AND''' those of the chosen IS major track. Please consult with the SMT Programme Director and relevant Track Coordinator early.

| − | There is no strict upper word limit, but concise technical writing is preferred. ''(FYI: academic publications that use this format rarely exceed 10 pages excluding references/appendices!)''
| |
| − | | |
| − | (*) The above template is only a recommendation, and you are free to use any other appropriate template if you prefer (see, for example, the reports of [[Project Groups|previous projects]]). Content is what counts!
