GRADUATION PROJECT

Course Description

This is a senior course for system design and implementation of agricultural concepts. Students individually or in work teams are guided by the assigned advisor(s) to develop a proper design for an agricultural problem following a detailed literature review. The project proposal is presented first to the advisor(s) for approval. If necessary they are encouraged for an experimental work or laboratory analysis, or a scientific questionnaire for an interview. The following step has to be analyzing the collected data statistically, and discussing the results. At the last stage the authors of the project are expected to make a presentation of the whole work in the forms of a printed report, poster and an audio-visual seminar.
