    Project/Lab
    Main Project (Project I) - Group of up to 5 students (for 2nd year) and up to 3 (for 3rd/4th year)
    This semester, we will focus on Android Applicaiton; Android Emulator will be our main tool (require JAVA skill - eclispe)
    Links here are useful for Android programming: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
    Some of Android application: http://www.android.com/market/#app=com.wsl.CardioTrainer; http://androidapplications.com/
    However, we do not limit to Android platform. Iphone OS application, WII-based applicaiton, Kinect application, WP7 application AND Sensor Network are also possible.
    The quality of the project is to submit for NSC contest, Microsoft Imagine Cup, and Samart Innovation.

    Note: These are group projects BUT grading individually *write who do what in what%?*
    Grading:
    Mid-Term Exam20%
    Final Exam20%
    (Lab) Homework + Quiz + Class participation25%
    Small Project5+5% (grading individually)
    Term Project25%+5% (grading individually)
    Note that the final exam material will be after the mid-term; however, all related contents will be also covered.
    The exam includes 1. True/False (+1, -1, and 0), 2. Numerical and Analysis, and 3. Fill in the blank.
    The final grade will be curved based on the overall performance of the whole class (probablistic clear cut-off point).
    Note: Extra Credits +5% 1st round competition; +5% Final round competition; +10% = winner for NSC/Imagine Cup/Samart
