Final Year Projects Dr. Jeyakesavan Veerasamy Director of CS Senior Design Program University of Texas at Dallas, USA

Agenda Final year projects – why? Industry projects Service projects Your own projects How to prepare for final projects?

Final year projects – why? Anna University requires it Prove that you – are ready to be a professional. – can apply what you have learned. – can learn more & apply as needed. Give you “industry-like” experience: tackling larger projects, team-work, communication skills, project management, latest tools/languages, etc.

Industry Projects – Why? Makes your resume look better & gets attention from Employers No need to prove the usefulness of your project during interviews! You can focus on what you did. You will learn how a company works internally & chance to get hired Company will provide you a reference Makes college  industry transition smoother – Manage expectations – Assessment of your skills & preferences – Project scoping & management – Team work

Industry projects – How? Our entrepreneurial city has a lot of companies in various industry segments that can use & benefit from your project. Give compelling reasons to trust you Use your contacts - family/friends Use your faculty – ask for active Alumni? Analyze “vague” project description with your friends and faculty and right-size it. NDA and IP concerns Request for industry mentor - Open & periodic communication

Service Projects to college & community Similar to industry projects Applications to improve efficiency of students, faculty, management, local charities, or even public offices. Sample application from UT Dallas Unlike industry project, there may not be one technical mentor to consult.

Your own projects Makes sense if you have a “business” mind-set and your project will contribute to it. Otherwise, you have to prove that you did it & it is of some value – during interviews.

How to prepare for final projects? Be passionate about programming. Have the right mind-set. Use the latest free tools: – TurboC++, NotePad  NetBeans/Visual Studio/… Try out latest technology stuff – do not let “fear of unknown” keep you away from trying! No one knows everything. Form a team with your friends, put your skills together and build something! It will be unforgettable experience.
