The other requirements applies as well. ASSIGNMENTS
Create a document in MS Office Word editor with a structure and formattting as a scientific paper (for example, find some scientific paper via Web of Science or IEEE Xplore Digital Library, hindawi.com, .. The contents of the article you would create does not matter. You can choose or create any (legal and appropriate) data (text, picture, table, equation) you like... Your paper must include at least one picture, one equation, one table, and all required sections (title, author's affiliation, abstract, keywords, introduction, ..., conclusion, references) Make sure you do not violate the copyright and add the reference to the source into the report when you cite or use anything from the web, book , ..., otherwise your work wil not be accepted!!! Pick one of the specified topics (or propose yourself a similarly relevant one) as bellow and write an article as described above.

Useful Links (some of)Please, consider the following links as some of good examples; however, you are supposed be able to find out the answers to your questions individually. The following links are examples of some interesting resources that I randomly found and that could help you with better orientation in computers, networking, building web pages, etc. When you want to find a basic explanation of various terms regarding computers, networking,internet and many others, use the internet (That sounds pretty autonomous, does not it?). For example, try visit the website of webopedia or begin by clicking the following link and you will arrive at the Local Area Network topic. As an another example where you can go to start learning HTML is this website . To obtain some ideas how to format your engineering report correctly, see Writing Guidelines for Engineering and Science Students,e.g. To learn to make correct references you can visit this particular web page. However, be aware of the fact that the requirements for formating of your particular report can slightly vary according to the customs of the scientific comunity, field, publication, region, etc. |
