Master of Science Project 3

Master of Science Project is a three-part, three-semester course, which is aimed to prepare students to their professional work. The result of Master of Science Project is a capstone project and a M.Sc. diploma thesis.

During the third semester a student concentrates on completing the project and writing the M.Sc. thesis. The thesis should reflect results achieved in the project covering scientific research and engineering work. The thesis should enable evaluation of the professional skills of a prospective master of science in Computer Science. The major activity of the project is an individual, independent work of the student under the guidance of a supervisor.

Each student is expected to solve an engineering task with elements of scientific research. He/she is expected to use appropriate tools and methodology including a state-of-art approaches. The student should demonstrate engineering skills, knowledge and scientific research abilities acquired during the studies.

The Master of Science Project (1, 2 and 3) is intended to be the culmination of the graduate studies experience, where knowledge and skills gained during the studies are applied to a capstone project.

The student is obliged to submit a report from his/her work and the other results including the M.Sc. thesis by the end of semester. The project is evaluated by a supervisor, who takes into account:

• the quality and depth of understanding of the technical and scientific foundations of the project,
• the analysis and understanding of how the design evolved to satisfy the goals of the project,
• correctness of selection tools and engineering methodologies,
• progress in solving the problem,
• engagement of the student.

The final mark is one from the set 5.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0 (failure requiring repeating the course).
