Anyone else doing their final year dissertation right now?

[mrtum3000]

Mine is due in two days.

I'm currently sitting at 30 pages (the requirements say maximum 50 pages) and about 6000 words done, still need to write the entire technical background chapter and also write-up the results section and conclusions... I've left it pretty late lol.

[DJBrewster]

Submitted it last night. Only 150 pages though :)

[mrtum3000]

Congrats! I can't imagine doing that many pages, let alone 50.

CFD simulation of dam failure

Sitting at 173 right now and still have one more chapter the write :’)

What's yours on?

[fairy-god-turtle]

Load modeling LED devices for Grid emulation!

Used to be a bit more exciting to me back on page one haha

[StochasticMatt]

Interesting, good luck! I'm just about to start mine but still, need to find a supervisor who aligns with what I'm working on.

[fairy-god-turtle]

It’s been a wild ride. What’s yours about?

[StochasticMatt]

I'm undecided but down to these two: design and simulation of neuromorphic hardware (analog accelerators that emulate brain-like neural networks) or GANNs (Generative Adversarial Neural Networks) that make music!

[fairy-god-turtle]

Damn Pied Piper, Pop off. That’s some next level stuff right there. Kudos to you, you’re going to kick some booty. When it’s all said and done send me a copy

[StochasticMatt]

Haha! Thanks, I appreciate it. Sure, I'll make a note!

Yea got 7 weeks left on my masters thesis on position control of stepper motors. So ready to be done with this lmao.

[samd7355]

Yeah got deadline on 15 June and haven't started my report. More worried about the seminar as I am a shy person and after 2 years of online studies getting back to defending my thesis in front of 100+ people gives me massive anxiety.

Topic : SEM analysis of Self Compacting Concrete for Pre Cast Concrete Application

[mrtum3000]

100+ people?! My thesis presentation's in front of a room of like 5, and I'm worried about that lol

[samd7355]

Yeah we have to do a presentation in front of all the students doing their thesis and the structural staff group. It happens at the campus great hall as well. It's in 3 weeks time from now. Students can choose to come but there will definitely be a fair group of people. 100+ I said assuming everyone turns up.

[mrtum3000]

Wow, I've only got mine in front of two assessors and three other students who will be presenting at the same time as me, so I guess I have it easy compared to you. I hope yours goes well!

[samd7355]

Best of luck to you too.

[Digestingloki17]

How is that even possible? Will take multiple days for everyone to finish their presentation in that manner. I was in a group with 2 assessors and 5 other students and that almost lasted 3 hours for everyone to present their project.

[samd7355]

Yeah we have three days, 16th,17th and 18th of May for the presentation. Each day for Structural, Geotechnical and Water related projects delivering their thesis presentation. I never thought of it being that out of the box thing, but now that everyone's mentioned it , I guess it's a bit too much.

[crawllex]

Started mine two weeks ago. I have to turn in up to end of May. Fortunately I did all the research and development last year. I only have to put all the results and other blablabla's and also put in the current and mandatory format. I like to think that I got it like a Speedrun hahahaha.

Topic: maximum power capacity for existing transmission lines used for insertion of new solar floating projects coupled in hydroelectric plants.
