Term Project Guidelines


The term project in Intro Mod/Sim is typically an individual study carried out by a student on a topic related to the class lectures. This topic could be the simulation of a particular physical phenomenon, or an investigation of a particular aspect of a simulation method discussed in class. Selection of the topic is made by the student in consultation with a member of the teaching faculty, who then becomes the supervisor of the project.

The intent is to allow the student to expand on what is taught in class in a direction of his/her interest. Beyond some very general guidelines, any reasonable proposal that is endorsed by the Supervisor will be acceptable.

Each term project will be presented orally at the end of the semester, and also in the form of a written report due on Friday 5 PM the last week of classes.
