Course Objective(s)

A Final Year Project is a two-semester course in which students usually a group of 3-4 members select a project
and are supervised by a faculty member. In this course, students choose a project and define the objectives of
the project under the supervision of a faculty member, and prepare the project proposal including defining the
statement of the problem, defining system requirements, defining different candidate solutions for the problem of
study, making feasibility study for different candidate solutions, defining the best candidate solution, defining time
table schedule. Students present the final project report at the end of the semester to an evaluation committee.

The final year project is assigned to solve a complex computing problem based on the knowledge and skills
achieved while studying the computing program

The aim of the FYP is to give each student the opportunity to experience the computing design and development
process in the context of a topic related to the Software Engineering curriculum/ Computer Science

Course Contents

This course requires implementing the software engineering knowledge learned in the theoretical and

practical classes. The final year projects involve planning, designing, experimental investigation, simulation,
computer-based study, literature review, and development where applicable in order to achieve the objectives. At
different stages of the Final Year Project, the students are to present their progress at a seminar.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

 FACULTY OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY

Including awareness of specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is essential in our course, cultivating
comprehension and dedication to tackling critical global issues like SDG 9, which focuses on Industry Innovation
and Infrastructure, SGD 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: quality education, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities
and Communities, SDG 16 :Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, and SGD 17 : Partnerships for the Goals.

1. No Poverty (SDG 1): By addressing real-world problems, the project may reduce poverty through
innovation and job creation.

2. Zero Hunger (SDG 2): The project's outcomes may contribute to advancements in food security or
agricultural efficiency.

3. Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3): It aims to ensure the functionality and effectiveness of solutions,
potentially benefiting healthcare systems.

4. Quality Education (SDG 4): It promotes experiential learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
development.

5. Gender Equality (SDG 5): The project may promote inclusivity and diversity within the field of study.

6. Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6): The project's outcomes may contribute to advancements in water
management or environmental sustainability.

7. Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7): The project may lead to technological advancements that
support energy efficiency or renewable energy solutions.

8. Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8): The project may contribute to economic growth by
fostering innovation and creating job opportunities in relevant industries.

9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9): It promotes innovation, infrastructure development,
and technological advancements.

10. Reduced Inequality (SDG 10): The project may reduce inequality by providing access to technology and
knowledge.

11. Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11): It aims to develop sustainable solutions to urban
challenges.

12. Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12): The project may promote responsible
consumption and production practices through sustainable innovation.

13. Climate Action (SDG 13): The project's outcomes may indirectly contribute to climate resilience or
mitigation efforts.

14. Life Below Water (SDG 14): The project may lead to technological advancements that support marine
conservation or ocean sustainability.

15. Life on Land (SDG 15): The project's outcomes may indirectly contribute to biodiversity conservation or
land management efforts.

16. Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions (SDG 16): Emphasizing ethical conduct and adherence to legal
 FACULTY OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY
and regulatory frameworks.

17. Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17): It promotes collaboration and partnerships for achieving common
development objectives.
