MCT-419: FINAL YEAR PROJECT

The final project is a group undertaking and is meant to let student group create a
mechatronic product or application. Each group should consist of at the most 3 students.
A mid term evaluation will be carried out in the start of 8th semester in the presence of all

teachers of the department. After the project is completed each group will submit a report

according to department report/project format. Each group will present its final project.
