The final exam week schedule may be found on the Office of the Registrar’s website at http://www.registrar.uiowa.edu by selecting “Exam Information” under the “Faculty/Staff” or “Student” menu tabs. Quizzes: A number homework assignments and quizzes will be given in preparation for the two exams. The quizzes will not be announced. SEMESTER PROJECT There are three components to the semester project: 1. Project Proposal DUE: Fr, March 14 Submit the proposal to ICON 2. Project Report DUE: T, April 29 Submit the following three files to ICON folder: the project report, Power Point presentation, and am e-poster. The e-poster template is posted on ICON and its format needs to be observed) 3. Project Presentations In class: Apr 29, and May 1, 6, and 8. ⇒ The project content used in this class can not be used for credit in other courses3 Project grading scheme ü 30% project presentation ü 60% project content ü 10% attendance of discussion meetings and project presentations SEMESTER PROJECT THE SEMEXTER PROJECT MAY TAKE ONE THE FOLLOWING THREE FORMS: A. Application Project (Teams of two students are allowed) You need to describe the problem considered for your project and propose a solution approach. Ideally, the project should be based on an existing application. The solution approach could be based on an existing freeware that could be found on the web. Hint: To identify software (freeware) tool to be used for solving the selected problem (application) you may follow the following steps: ü Search the web. ü Identify a software tool (and/or a data set) related to wind farm operations. The software and the data may come from independent websites ü Apply the tool to the data set. ü Prepare project report according to the format presented in this syllabus ü Prepare Power Point presentation ü Demonstrate the application of the tool to your dataset in class B. Software Development Project (Teams of two students are allowed) The student(s) will be responsible for the development of software for some of the topics discussed in class. The code should be written in a modern language, e.g., C, C++, Visual Basic, ASP and a user-friendly interface should be developed. Web implementation of the software is encouraged. C. Research Paper (Teaming is not encouraged) You may choose a specific wind energy related topic,
