Course Objectives This course aims to familiarize students to a concrete project either as a member of a team or individually. This may involve literature survey, problem formulation and a solution of a cryptography or coding theory related problem. Students are expected to present their progress in the form of reports and presentations during the semester, and present their complete project at the end of the semester.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Prepare a formal proposal for a project
  • Practice either independent study or teamwork
  • Gain experience in following a formal development process to complete a project
  • Prepare written reports about the project
  • Present the project at the end of the semester
Course Content Students will be given planned projects based on either Coding Theory or Cryptography courses taken in the program. Students will be working (either individually or in small teams) under close supervision of a faculty member as an advisor of the project. The projects will be reviewed by a committee of instructors in related disciplines.
