IASB Final Project

7 junho 2021, 09:41 • Hugo Plácido da Silva

Dear students,

With this notice we would like to summarise some important details about the final project. The due date is 13/06 and the submission should be done through Fénix, in the evaluation entry entitled "Final Project". 

We incentivise the delivery of an organised project folder containing the Final Report, together with (when applicable) Schematics, Source Code, 3D Models, Technical Drawings, and other materials of recognised importance to the execution of the project. 

There is no fixed structure nor template for the Final Report. If you need inspiration, the project proposal template available on Fénix is a starting point. Nevertheless, the following aspects should be clear from your document:

- Problem Statement / Use Case

- Background / Physiological Basis

- Solution / Implementation Details

- Experimental Results

- References

Depending on the document structure, you should consider a tentative 10 page limit if you don't adopt a very formal structure (e.g. including index, figure list, table list, etc.), and a 20 page limit otherwise. Longer documents will be accepted, if/when necessary for a clear understanding of the work.

The projects will have a discussion with up to 1 hour duration, typically divided into 15 min. of presentation, 15 min. live demo of your prototype, and 30 min. of Q&A. Discussions will be held in person at IST, although Zoom or hybrid formats may also be scheduled when duly justified.

We have blocked 24/06 and 25/06 between 9.00AM and 2.00PM; the slots for each group should be arranged with the class delegate. The grading of the projects will be done based on the following criteria:

[Discussion - 30%]

10% - Presentation

20% - Discussion

[Report - 30%]

5% - Structure / Graphical Aspect

5% - Motivation / Physiological Basis

5% - Problem Statement

10% - Experimental Results

5% - References

[Prototype - 30%]

[Global Appraisal - 10%]

Even though the class period is officially over, we will be completely available to discuss any questions that you may have over e-mail or scheduled meetings. Wish you all the best for the final stretch of the project.

IASB laboratories after the entry into force of the third phase of the government's COVID-19 deconfinement plan

16 abril 2021, 18:41 • Hugo Plácido da Silva

Dear students,

With the entry into the third phase of the government's deconfinement plan, foreseeably on April 19, 2021, the overall plan at IST is to return to on-site laboratory classes.

Considering that there is only one graded laboratory left, and that the laboratory classes will proceed to individual project tutoring sessions for each group, the plan for IASB is to maintain the remote teaching format for the coming week. This will greatly allow us to minimize the entropy associated with mid-semester changes to the original planning.

Afterwards, we will define with each group a weekly schedule and format, which can be dynamically adapted between on-site or remote, according to your preferences.
