Project Work
Groups of 1-2 students The project will use the tools for Lab If you have proposal, come and discuss possible project ideas with me! Project work completion is not mandatory. The project will be evaluated mainly for the diligence and the effort of the students Up to 20 minute power point presentation in Italian or English (slides in English) like a conference talk with a demo Up to 12 page report in the style of a technical conference paper (Italian or English) (e.g. IEEE style www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTempl ates.html )
