 This is a course for advanced students, normally those in the fourth year of an honours program, or students who have passed 36 computer science credits. 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 formal seminar presentation. The course director will arrange the seminar sessions, and students and their faculty supervisors are required to participate. The seminar talks will have a typical length of 15-20 minutes, and will be evaluated by the individual supervisor, the course director and one more faculty member. This talk will be worth 30% of the final mark. The remaining 70% of the course mark is the responsibility of the individual supervisor.  This is a course for advanced students, normally those in the fourth year of an honours program, or students who have passed 36 computer science credits.

 A well-designed software product is more than just a computer program. A software product consists of quality code, a well thought out design developed via disciplined professional engineering standards, appropriate literate documentation including requirements, design and testing documents, a manual, and the appropriate installation files and instructions needed to get the product to work. The product has to be correct (i.e. it must satisfy all the requirements specified by the client), usable, efficient, safe and maintainable. A well-designed software product is more than just a computer program.

-=== EECS 4480 3.00 Computer Security Project ===+===== EECS 4480 3.00 Computer Security Project =====
  
 This is a capstone project course for computer security students. The students engage in a significant research and/or development project that has major computer security considerations. This is a required course for Computer Security students. Students who have a project they wish to do need to convince the course director that it is appropriate for course credit. They also need to find a faculty member that agrees to supervise the project. Alternatively, students may approach a faculty member (typically, one who is teaching or doing research in computer security) and ask for project suggestions. For students that are not able to find a suitable project through the above means, the course director is responsible for preparing appropriate projects. Any of the projects may be individual or team projects at the discretion of the course director (coordinator). 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, his/her project supervisor, and the course director. A critical course component that must be included in the contract is a project presentation to take place after the project is finished. The course director will arrange the presentation sessions, and students and their faculty supervisors are required to participate. The presentations will have a typical length of 15-20 minutes, and will be evaluated by the individual supervisor, the course director and at least one more faculty member. The actual nature of the project will vary from student to student.
