ASSIGNMENT TASK

In this phase, your goal is to complete both Section 1 (Introduction) and Section 2 (Project Detailed Design) of your industry report. Ensure to attach the required documents for Appendix 1, Industry Client Information. Make sure to follow the provided final report template diligently, as it outlines the necessary structure for your report.

Introduction

Briefly describe your project, including its purpose, objectives, industry client information, and key challenges. If you completed the MN690 on a similar topic, summarise your previous work, highlighting research findings and design decisions. If you are starting with a new topic at this stage, provide background information on the project, including its scope, industry relevance, and initial requirements or constraints identified before implementation. Additionally, provide a concise outline of the report.

Detailed Project Design

This section presents a detailed project plan outlining key tasks and deliverables to ensure effective implementation. A structured approach enhances coordination by covering critical aspects such as block diagram implementation, software engineering, hardware requirements, team responsibilities, and weekly activities, as detailed below:

Implementation Overview

You are required to provide a high-level overview of the implementation process, outlining the chosen methodology, key project phases, and a block diagram illustrating the system architecture. This section should clearly explain how the project will be executed in alignment with the project proposal provided by the industry client.

Software and Hardware Requirements

This section outlines the essential tools and resources required for the project before detailing the execution plan. The requirements can be categorised into software and hardware specifications.

Weekly Activities and Team Responsibilities Plan

This section outlines the weekly activities timeline and team roles and responsibilities for MN692. It includes a detailed table mapping out weekly activities with a comprehensive timeline for task completion. Additionally, it defines the roles and responsibilities of each team member, ensuring clear articulation of contributions and expectations to promote effective coordination using effective project management and planning.

Reference and Presentation

Each student is required to provide at least three references from sources published within the past five years. Ensure that your report is meticulously structured, with proper formatting, accurate spelling and grammar, adherence to the IEEE reference style, and a well-designed cover page and table of contents. Before submission, thoroughly review your template and remove all provided instructional content, keeping only the section headings. This step is essential to prevent high similarity in your assessment.
