The Project…
… will be a task of reading, understanding and programming
… has to be implemented in MATLAB, JAVA or C++
… must be presented in class using Power Point Slides

33. CIS 601
Team Work is allowed (except in the final exam), giving you the opportunity to emphasize your strength in either reading  , programming or presenting inside a group of 2 or 3.
