Course Overview
Students must submit a project report as partial fulfillment of the Master of Science degree program requirements. Their project should be based on an industry problem, which was developed over the course of the COMP 9400 internship. The project must demonstrate critical thinking, familiarity with computing research methods, and familiarity with the domain of application. The project should exhibit originality and examine an industry problem to develop a full solution. The project does not need to be fully innovative, it can provide a new solution to a previously solved problem; however, it must include innovative aspects as compared to existing solutions, and these aspects need to be highlighted.
