FINAL INDEPENDENT PROJECT

Independent Research Project

In order to qualify for a merit certificate, you will have to work on an independent project. This cannot be a Simulation/Program/Design that was demonstrated by the instructors. There are 3 phases to this project.

Phase 1 - Provide the project title and objectives (Maximum of 2 slides) 10% of total score

Phase 2 - Complete the simulation and project presentation (Maximum of 20 slides) 30% of total score

Phase 3 - Project live presentation (40 minutes) 60% of total score

Phase 1

1. Pick up a physical system or setup which you want to analyze using simulation tools, design software or computer programs
2. Explain what you plan on calculating through this simulation/program/design
3. Explain the engineering significance of your project

Phase 2

1. Provide detailed objectives and motivation for the project
2. Provide geometry information, if applicable
3. Provide information on Physical model selection, Boundary and Initial condition selections, if applicable
4. Provide information on your code structure, module and libraries used, if applicable.
5. Provide information on how engineering outputs are calculated
6. Provide detailed post processing results
7. Validation with experimental data is preferred but not required

Phase 3

1. You will present your project before a technical panel via online conference
2. Your project score will be based on this presentation

Rules for working on the independent project

• You can get guidance on finalizing your topic and outputs that you wish to calculate
• You CANNOT get guidance from SKILL-LYNC or any other sources on finishing your project
• You need to create a detailed project report and presentation. Project report should be hosted on projects.skill-lync.com
• You SHOULD NOT Plagiarize. Copying work from others will result in 0 score. There will be no appeal process
• During support hours, you can discuss results from the projects. You SHOULD NOT ask for a walkthrough to help finish the project
• SKILL-LYNC will not provide the final topic. You will have to make the selection on your own.
• You need to finish this project within 4 months of your course enrollment. If you think this rule should not apply to you, get in touch with us.

NOTE:

The Project should be submitted according to the Phases mentioned above. ZERO marks will be provided if the above instructions are not followed.
