CS PROJECT WORK 2012-13

Department of CSE,NMAMIT, Nitte

ACTIVITIES FOR AUGUST 2012

Projects are team efforts, performed in groups of four people.

The deadline to form these groups is August 15, 2012.

Group Reporting: 'A‘ Section - M/s. Reeja 'B‘ Section - Mr. Hemanth Kumar G and 'C‘ Section - Mr. Vijay Murari .

Students not belonging to a group will be assigned one by alphabetical order.

From past experience, things seem to work out better when you form your own group, rather than being assigned to one.

ACTIVITIES FOR AUGUST 2012

The group is instructed to approach all the faculties to know their interests, expertize and to get some project ideas from them.

This means you have to take the initiative to introduce yourself to someone you don't know.

For some reason, working in assigned groups for the projects seems to be a considerable source at angst each semester.

Please heed our call, and make a serious effort to put your own teams together. So guide selection has to be done on or before August 20, 2012.

GUIDELINES

The names of the group members with USN, Guide name, Project Title, brief explanation of your intended work, has to be submitted on or before August 28, 2012.

Assign roles among yourselves, divide the work equally, be supportive to each other.

Use the open source tools, journals & books from NMAMIT library,

Google as much as you can to get a clear picture of existing work and the work you are going to carry out.
