Timeline

Activities before the start of term:

  • AY2022/23 Term 2 students onwards should refer to this page.

Activities during the term:

Activities Timeline Tasks Action by
Start of Project Week 1
  • Bid e$10 for IS483
  • Supervisors Meet Teams
Students
Midterm Week 7 to 9
  • Presentation
Students, Supervisor, SMT Programme Director (Optional: Sponsor, CEC Consultant)
Finals Week 13 to 16
  • Presentation
  • Report
Students, Supervisor, SMT Programme Director, Sponsor

Additional note: after acceptance of the project proposal, Type 1 and Type 2 students will need to bid for IS483 (not SMT483) during BOSS2, and they should bid only e$10. If there is insufficient e$ balance in a student's account, they will not be able to enroll in IS483 even if their team's proposal is accepted.

SMT Project Types

AY2022/23 Term 2 students onwards should refer to this page.

Project Proposal

  • AY2022/23 Term 2 students onwards should refer to this page.

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: here
  • Collaborative Overleaf (LaTeX) Template: 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 previous projects). Content is what counts!
