'''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.

* '''SMT Major (AY2022 intake):''' IS212, SMT203 (co-requisites*)
 
* '''SMT Major (earlier intakes):''' IS111, IS112, SMT203 (pre-requisites*)
 
''(*) if the rescheduling of SMT203 from T1 to T2 has impacted your planning, please contact the SMT major Programme Director.''

|-
 
| '''Faculty 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 full-time 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.
 
|-
 
| '''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 (who will NOT be the supervisor).
 
||
 
* IS485 research projects can have an external sponsor, e.g., from the private or public sector. Alternatively, your identified faculty supervisor can simultaneously be your sponsor.
 
|-
 
| '''Expected Outcomes'''
 
||
 
* System prototype and documentation
 
* Midterm presentation
 
* Final presentation
 
* Final report
 
||
 
* Proposal of the problem
 
* Wireframe/Proof-of-concept/analytical model/city blueprint along with evidence-based analysis
 
* Midterm presentation with approaches and initial findings
 
* Final presentation
 
* Term paper
 
* Dashboard/analytical model, acceptance/review by sponsor

=Multi-Track Application Projects=
 
SMT major/track students may form project teams with students from another IS major track. Please take note of the following:
 
 
 
* Your team may consist of '''up to two tracks''' only. 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/track students in your team.
 
* There must be at least two students from the other IS major track.
 
* For the purpose of team formation, SMT major and SMT track students are treated as equivalent.
 
 
 
Acceptance of multi-track project proposals and project grading will be on the basis of required criteria being fulfilled for both the tracks.

==Project Proposal==
 
 
 
* IS483-SMT Application Project Proposal [[https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/ISProjectExperience/img_auth.php/c/cd/IS483-SMT-ProposalTemplate.docx docx]] ''(updated December 2022)''
 
* IS485-SMT Analytical/Research Project Proposal [[https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/ISProjectExperience/img_auth.php/9/92/IS485-SMT-ProposalTemplate.docx docx]] ''(updated August 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] ''(like Google Docs but for LaTeX!)''
 
 
 
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!
