-CSE4080 has a course credit exclusion with CSE 4001, CSE 4081, CSE 4082, CSE 4084, CSE 4480, SC/ENG 4000, and DIGM 4700.
+===== Procedure =====
-===== Course Director, Winter 2012 =====
+Enrollment in these courses is permitted on a per-student basis.
+Enrollment is **not** possible via the typical "My Online Services" on-line enrollment.
+Once the course enrollment procedure has been completed, students become eligible to enroll and will receive further instructions by email.
-Prof. Vassilios Tzerpos
+  - Read the course descriptions to determine your eligibility.  Please note the course prerequisites and exclusions.  These can be found under [[coursedesc]].
+  - Identify a **project** and a **project supervisor**.  A list of available projects is shown on the [[projects]] page.  If you identify a project from this list, then contact the faculty member to discuss your fit to the project and whether the supervisor is willing to supervise your work on that project.  Alternatively, you may work in collaboration with a department faculty member to develop a project that is not currently listed.  A list of faculty members can be found here: [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/cspeople/faculty/index.html|Faculty Members]]
+  - Develop a **Project Contract**.  In close collaboration with the project supervisor, develop a document that outlines the project's description, the background requirements, project readings, project deliverables, and project evaluation.  See the [[contract]].
+  - Submit the Project Contract for **approval** by the deadline.  The submission deadline is *May 24, 2013, noon*.  Project Contracts must be submitted by email to the course director at mb@cse.yorku.ca, with a cc to your project supervisor.
+  - Enroll in the course as per the instructions you will be sent.

-===== Calendar =====
-=== CSE 4088 6.0 Computer Science Capstone Project ===
-This is a course for students in the fourth year of an honours program. Students who have a project they wish to do need to convince a member of the faculty in the Department that it is appropriate for course credit. Alternatively, students may approach a faculty member in the Department (typically, one who is teaching or doing research in the area of the project) and ask for project suggestions. Whatever the origin of the project, a “contract” is required. It must state the scope of the project, the schedule of work, the resources required, and the criteria for evaluation. The contract must be signed by the student and his/her project supervisor and be acceptable to the
-course director. A critical course component that must be included in the contract is a final presentation. The course director will arrange the final presentation session, and students and their faculty supervisors are required to participate. The presentations will be evaluated by the individual supervisor, the course director and one more faculty member. This presentation will be worth 30% of the final mark. The remaining 70% of the course mark is the responsibility of the individual supervisor. Internship students may apply to receive credit for their internship as a project course. A “contract” including the final presentation is still required.
-**Prerequisites**: General prerequisites and permission of the course director. Normally restricted to students who have passed 36 credits in Computer Science.
-Course Credit Exclusions: CSE4080 3.0, CSE4081 6.0, CSE4082 6.0, CSE4084 6.0, CSE4480 3.0, ENG4000 6.0
-=== CSE 4081 6.0 Intelligent Systems Project ===
-This is an honours thesis course in Intelligent Systems. Although a course coordinator will be assigned to the course, the bulk of the course will take place through the interaction between a supervisor and a single student (or group of students). After two organisational meetings in September, the student will work with his/her supervisor directly. The course requires an initial project proposal that will be submitted to and approved by the supervisor and the course coordinator (director). This is, in essence, a contract for the project to follow. The supervisor will evaluate the performance of the student in early January. The format of this evaluation will vary from project to project, but the requirements of this evaluation will be specified in the original project proposal. At the beginning of the course, the course director (coordinator) will establish a date and format for the public presentation of all Intelligent System Projects. Normally held between reading week and the third last week of term, this presentation will normally consist of either a short public oral or poster presentation of the project. (The actual format may change from year to year.) All of the faculty associated with the Intelligent Systems Stream will be invited to attend this presentation. The individual supervisor, the course coordinator and one more faculty member will mark this presentation. The final report will be due at the end of the term and will be marked by the individual supervisor. The actual nature of the project will vary from student to student. Although projects that involve significant implementation are anticipated, purely theoretical projects are possible as well.
-Marking Scheme:
-  *Mid-term evaluation: 30%
-  *Public presentation evaluation: 30%
-  *Final report: 40%
-Prerequisites: Only open to students in the Intelligent Systems Stream who have completed CSE3401 3.0 and CSE3402 3.0 with a minimum grade of B, and have prior permission of the instructor.
-Course Credit Exclusions: CSE 4080 3.00; CSE 4082 6.00; CSE 4084 6.00, CSE 4088 6.00, CSE 4480 3.00, ENG 4000 6.00
