FINAL YEAR PROJECT

Prepared By
Final Year Project Coordinator for BSE
 Introduction

 The final year project is the culmination of the degree

that allow students to demonstrate all they have
learned.

 Students carry out a substantial individual project in

 FYP Definition

 An FYP is defined as a work resulting from original research

and development (on a smaller scale) and submitted for
obtaining a degree in a university.

 It should be dissertation and seminar presentation

supported by a prototype/product whose sole purpose is
to prove that a significant contribution has been made.
