The student should take a B.Sc. project in related area to his specialization and technical merit. The project is for two semesters, it is counted as one hour in the first semester. At the end of the semester the student submits a report describing his projects and the parts he completed in the first semester and proposed parts in the second semester.

The graduation project is a culminating handy course work for which the students are expected to integrate and apply what they have learned through previous academic work and field experiences, with faculty supervision. These projects may be "new," continuation of work done in previous courses; or may be projects started in a previous course that become significantly expanded and enhanced for the thesis. It has two phases- to be taken in consecutive two semesters at senior level. At the beginning of the semester, the students propose a topic on which they are supposed to work as a group. Project students meet in class weekly, discuss their research, and screen their progresses for peer and faculty critique and suggestions. At the end of the semester, students present their thesis projects to the supervising committee.
