'''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.

| '''Team Size''' || 4-6 || 2-3
 
|-
 
| '''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''
 
||
 
* ''Empirical Studies'', ''Research Methods'', ''Analytics Foundation'', ''Geographic Information Systems'', ''Sustainable (Digital) Cities'', ''Introduction to Public Policy''.
 
|-
 
| '''Project Sponsor'''
 
||
 
* 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.
 
|-
 
| '''Project Supervisor'''
 
||
 
* 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.

Please discuss with your faculty supervisor.

==Project Proposal==
 
 
 
* IS483-SMT Application Project Proposal [[https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/ISProjectExperience/img_auth.php/c/cd/IS483-SMT-ProposalTemplate.docx docx]] ''(updated July 2022)''
 
* IS485-SMT Analytical/Research Project Proposal [[https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/ISProjectExperience/img_auth.php/9/92/IS485-SMT-ProposalTemplate.docx docx]] ''(updated July 2022)''
 
 
 
==Final Report==
 
 
 
We recommend* that you write your final report using the '''IEEE double-column conference paper template'''. This is available from either of the following links:
 
 
 
* Official Microsoft Word Template: [https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html here]
 
* Collaborative Overleaf (LaTeX) Template: [https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/ieee-conference-template/grfzhhncsfqn here]
 
 
 
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!
