Guidelines for Seminar
MICROELECTRONICS AND PHYSICS DIVISION
GUIDELINES FOR SEMINAR 2013/2014
To all B.Sc Senior Year and Advanced Diploma Year 2 students:-
The senior year seminar is a requirement for all final year students. Through seminar, students not only will gain extra knowledge that is not taught in the classroom, but also trained in doing self-learning on new topics and learn how to explore deeper into the topic.
The objective of senior year seminar is to provide an opportunity to the students to gain experience in seminar presentation and conducting research on topics related to their area of study. Generally, students are expected to have performed a thorough literature research of a selected topic, critically evaluate and analyze the literature, organize the information, present a technical/ academic seminar lecture to lecturers and fellow students and to submit a type-written academic report on the area researched to his/her supervisor.
The seminar is an individual work, which means every student has to work out his/her own seminar presentation and documentation. No two students are allowed to choose the same seminar title. If such a case happens, the title will only be given to the student who submits the proposal first.
As shown in Attachment 1, students should begin searching on suitable topic areas for their seminar before the starting of semester 2. Students should do an extensive literature search from books, journals, magazines, and internet-on-line resources. Once a seminar title is found, students must discuss their titles with lecturers to see the feasibility of the ideas. Students have to show important reading materials that will help the lecturers in judging the suitability of their seminar topics. Besides, the seminar titles must be relevant to students’ course of study. Thus, their contents have to be related to one of the areas listed in Attachment 3.
The contents of all seminars must be academic or technical. As such, students should
