This course systematically prepares students for the subsequent Graduation Project by requiring them to identify a meaningful real-world or research problem in Artificial Intelligence or Computing and transform it into a clearly defined and feasible project. Students begin by selecting a problem domain, identifying relevant stakeholders or users, analyzing the problem, and defining project objectives and research or development questions where appropriate.
Students conduct a structured literature or technology review to understand existing approaches, available tools, data, and limitations and to establish the rationale for the proposed project. Software-oriented projects define functional and non-functional requirements, while research-oriented projects identify experimental and methodological requirements.
The course includes feasibility analysis and selection of suitable technologies, data sets, algorithms, platforms, and tools. Students prepare an initial system architecture or research methodology. AI projects are expected to identify data sources, data-preparation strategies, appropriate baselines, evaluation metrics, comparison procedures, privacy concerns, and relevant ethical considerations.
Project planning is addressed through task decomposition, schedules, deliverables, resource requirements, risks, and mitigation strategies. Students are also expected to define a testing or evaluation plan before implementation begins.
The principal output is a comprehensive project proposal including background, problem statement, objectives, related work, methodology, requirements, proposed design, evaluation plan, timeline, and references.
Upon completion, students should have a technically feasible and academically defensible proposal that can be presented to an academic committee and used as the direct foundation for implementation in the Graduation Project course.
