7. Individual Semester Mini Project

Every student must complete a separate mini project.

Project rule: One student = one project. Students must work independently on their own problem analysis, requirements, diagrams, design documents, and presentation. Group projects are not permitted for this course.

The main purpose is to help students apply system analysis and design concepts to a practical problem. Full software implementation is not compulsory; the primary focus is on requirements, modeling, and system design.
