BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCE, PILANI HYDERABAD CAMPUS FIRST SEMESTER 2011-2012 Advanced Computational Techniques (CE

G513) COMPUTER PROJECTS (Weightage: 10 %)

GENERAL
The project in this course represents a chance for you to develop and demonstrate your ability to do independent work. This is an opportunity, but also a responsibility and to take seriously and involves a significant time commitment. Start your work early. Plan a schedule and stick to it. There are three major components to a project: Software Development, Debugging & Testing. To receive credit for the project, your program must compile. You will receive minimal credit if your program doesn't compile. The reason for this is that basic programming knowledge is a prerequisite for the course, and is not being covered in the course. The course is about Numerical Analysis, not computer programming. If you're having trouble with your code then I'm absolutely happy to help you, either briefly after class time or in office hours. You should not assume that user input will be reasonable; in particular you must avoid run-time errors by checking data. Some people think this is a waste of time, but in my opinion it is absolutely necessary and is a part of good programming. "Working together" doesn't mean letting someone else do all the work and then giving a seminar that you have done it. Each of your contribution towards the project should be clearly stated in final project report. Any code not written by you or someone you are working with (in particular code written by people not taking the course) is not eligible for inclusion in your program. Any instances of this will be considered cheating; you will receive no credit for the project and may face further penalties.

You should develop and compile your code in Visual Basic and MATLAB and make an executable file and submit it along with the zip file of the visual basic project.

Final project due November 26, 2011. Projects can be submitted in hardcopy & electronically via email to vasan@bits-hyderabad.ac.in. If the latter, PDF format is strongly preferred. Materials submitted should include a brief write up of the problem addressed and results for test problems, and should also include any code you developed.

I know from experience that getting a program to work can be extremely painful. I've spent many weary hours in front of a terminal trying to find pesky bugs that ended up being completely obvious. All the best.
