advanced concepts, a variety of experimental techniques, and state-of-the-art

publishable, the project should be communicated in the form of a research report

written by the student.

Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into

account that initial drafts should be critiqued by the faculty guide and corrected by the

student at each stage.
