Project Report and ePoster

Project report should include, an introduction and motivation section, that explains why are you doing this project. You should include circuit diagrams, list of parts, total cost and explanation of the working of the project (flow charts are handy for this). You should also include, at least, one photo of the finished form of your project. Finally add a brief conclusion section, summing everything up. Please include all of your codes (Android/Raspberry Pi/apps) as an appendix, at the end of the report. If you are super excited about your project and want to share it with the world, you can make a video and upload on Youtube/Facebook; if so please send your TA and me (rhabash@site.uottawa.ca) the link of the video, in the same email as the report/eposter. 

 

ePoster
It is recommended to create the poster in PowerPoint (in .ppt or .pptx format).
To send the poster, you must first convert it into JPEG (.jpg) format.

Please try to limit the size of the JPEG file to no larger than 2Mb.
