Capstone Project Steps:
Students who enrolled for Capstone Project need to complete seven steps to meet all the requirements.
Figure: 1
Step 1: Proposal Submission
Students who completed 100 credits can apply for Capstone Project online following the application notice for each semester.
Figure 2
After the application, the form attached to the confirmation email must be signed and submitted to Capstone Committee.
Figure 3
After submitting the form, the groups will be allocated to specialized supervisors according to the research interest.
Figure 4
Step 2: Proposal Submission
After two weeks of group formation (Final groups with Supervisors are posted), the groups are required to submit a proposal form (approved by the supervisor) with the proposed Project Title online at https://rebrand.ly/Capstone_Proposal.

Figure 7
Step 3: Chapter 1 & 2 and Progress Report Submission
Supervisors must comment and approve the form. Students should also submit a progress report to External at the time of their Progress Defense. Students must submit Chapters 1 & 2 and Progress Report ONLINE (at https://rebrand.ly/Capstone_Progress) before the deadline.

Figure 10
Students progress will be evaluated by the External through their presentations and matched with submitted progress reports.
Through their defense/report, the External will assess the student timeline and status for their completion date.
The Supervisor and External will recommend groups to proceed or deffer, depending on the presentation.
After Successful progress defense, students must complete the registration process and complete payments.
Step 5: Book Submission to Supervisor & External
Students need to complete the draft book and submit it to the supervisor. After approval of the supervisor, the draft book needs to be forwarded to the External for review. Then the final version of the book needed to be checked for Plagiarism (by the supervisor). Then submit the book and similarity report online along with a poster and summary.
Figure 11
Step 6: Final Version of Book, Poster, and Summary Submission with plagiarism report
Students must submit Final Version of Book, Poster, and Summary Submission with plagiarism report online at https://rebrand.ly/final_defense before the deadline.
Final Version of Book, Poster, and Summary must comply with EEE department approved Tepmlates.
Student will also submit the printed copy of the poster to their supervisor.
Poster submission MUST have supervisors signature.
To go green, please print the books on double sided page starting from chapter 1. The initial pages before chapter 1 must be single sided.
Every book will go through plagiarism check by iThenticate. Accepted similarity score is below 25%. Hence, we need quality writing.
Minimum number of pages for chapter 1 to 7 should be 55. You may put trivial information as appendix.
Each group must print minimum 4/5 copies of each book (3/4 for students, 1 for library). If extra copies are needed the thesis committee will inform the individual group. If supervisor wants s/he may also request for 1 copy.
