1.0 Introduction
It is well recognized that final year project paper is an important component of the firstdegree curriculum. Accordingly, first-degree students are required to take the paper toward or at the end of their studies. Basically first-degree project paper aims to train students to carry out small-scale research activities, namely to train them to carry out literature survey for the problems definition and also solutions to the problems (i.e. system development in the context of IT). The project paper also provided an avenue for the students to develop experience to present their research in written reports. The previous practice at OUM is to divide the project into two parts: Project 1 (3 credits) and Project 2 (3 credits). Effective May 2009, the two Projects have been combine into one subject known as Project (6 credits) and must completed within one semester. The deliverables for the Project are: Project Report (written according to OUM format as elaborated in Part II) System/Software (to be burnt in the CD and attached together with the report) Students intend to take Final Year Project must satisfy the following requirements: Students with CGPA less than 3.00: At the time they register for Project, they must have at most one elective subjects excluding project paper at the last semesters. Students with CGPA more or equal to 3.00: At the time they register for Project, they must have at most two elective subjects excluding project paper at the last semesters.
