“Sensor Networks and Applications”
Announcements 6/14/06 Grades have been submitted. Grading is based on the following Satisfactory presentation + satisfactory report = A Satisfactory presentation, no report submitted = B Satisfactory report, no presentation given = B Presentation not given, report not submitted = C 6/8/06 REMINDER Five page minimum report is DUE JUNE 12 -- please e-mail to me at iltis@ece.ucsb.edu. Word or .pdf is fine. The report should cover the same material as your powerpoint presentation, but go into more technical detail as to existing work by others, and your new ideas for solutions to the problem. The report should include a bibliography of recent papers on the topic. List of student presentations for June 1 and 6 and 8 (link) Course Flyer: Download (.pdf) |
