Notes about Final Projects:

This class is a project based class. 2 students are teamed to work on a project. Here is the procedure: After students (2 students) submit the initial final project proposal to the instructors, instructors will give feedback/comments to the proposals and help to finalize the project. There are a final project presentation and a written final project report (6-8 pages) for each final project.
