Course ContentsWith the Integrating Project (AQSP400) course, students must consult with the faculty advisor in order to specify the objectives, decide on the methodology to be followed and a tentative time plan for the successful completion of the project. The supervising committee participates in the assessment of the project.
The student, in consultation with his advisor/committee, should conduct the necessary background reading so as to obtain a deep understanding of the problem area and better appreciate the problems faced and goals set. Students should also investigate appropriate research methods where applicable.
By the end of the course, the student must submit to the Department a project report that includes description of their work and findings.
Recommended and/or required reading:
Textbooks
  • “The Elements of Technical Writing (Elements of Series)”, Gary Blake and Robert W. Bly, Longman; 1 Edition.
References
  • Students are expected to reference a number of books, periodicals and other referenced material relevant to their work.
Planned learning activities and teaching methodsThe course will be presented through theoretical lectures in class. The lectures will present to the student the course content and allow for questions. Part of the material will be presented using visual aids. The aim is to familiarize the student with the different and faster pace of presentation and also allow the instructor to present related material (photographs etc.) that would otherwise be very difficult to do. The learning process will be enhanced with the requirement from the student to solve exercises. These include self evaluation exercises which will be solved in class. These exercises will not be graded. Exercises will also be given as homework (final project) which will be part of their assessment. Besides from the notes taken by students in class, all of the course material will be made available through the class website and also through the eLearning platform. Finally the instructor will be available to students during office hours or by appointment in order to provide any necessary tutoring.
