Spring 2025 | ||
CS492 Senior Design Project II course is the second half of two-semester course that will allow all senior CS students to gain and practice the required abilities and skills in the engineering design process.CS492 course is continuation of the capstone design project started in the CS491 course, with the same team.
All students enrolled in the Computer Engineering program at Bilkent University have the opportunity to learn and practice engineering design, through their coursework and, CS491 and CS492 capstone project courses will give a unique opportunity to demonstrate these skills within a team of 3-5 students.
CS491-CS492 projects are directed toward an innovative solution to a real and substantial problem. Students need to show their engineering design skills to solve practical and theoretical engineering problems that they will choose and pre-approved by the faculty. Below you can see the key skills required for this course:
Progress and results of teamwork are required to be presented in both written and oral form during the course. Teams are advised to select complex and challenging subjects so that, they can demonstrate the knowledge and skills that they got from the engineering coursework, to analyze, develop, test, iterate, improve and deliver their design concepts using modeled or simulated artifacts and working prototypes.
CS492 courses are 3 credits (6 ECTS credits). CS491 is prerequisite of CS492.
Below are the specific deadlines set for this semester.
1. Detailed Design Report
3. Final Report
4. Presentation and Demo
See CS492 deliverables sub page for more information about each of them.
Total grade of CS492 course has two components:
- 70%: Group grade. It is the average of grades given by the 3 jury members and Innovation Experts for the performance of the group throughout the semester.
- Detailed Design Report %20
- Final Report %30
- Presentation and Demo %20
30%: Contribution/Participation in the project. It is determined by the 3 jury members separately for each group member.
- 20%: Contributing and functioning effectively on a team, helps create a collaborative and inclusive teamwork environment.
- 10%: All other individual efforts in progress meetings, logbook usage, commits, using problem solving and leadership skills to increase the success of their team and capstone project.
The supervisor or course instructors may use some tools to monitor the progress of students incluing logbooks, peer grading, repository logs,etc. He/she does not have to use the peer grades as they are; he/she has the right to use his/her own judgment.
The letter grades will be assigned according to the following table:
Range
Grade
90-100 A 85-89 A- 80-84 B+ 75-79 B 70-74 B- 65-69 C+ 60-64 C 55-59 C- 50-54 D+ 45-49 D 0-44 F
