2.  First step is to select group partners/members
 Second step is pickup a topic that would you enjoy for work
 Consider ideas that sound interesting because of a desire to
know more about a subject, a desire to learn how to use a
particular software package, or a goal of working
professionally in this area after graduation
 You can think of developing a system or application or
proposal that is applicable in real life situation. For this you
can find a company, and develop a useful software for them.
Chances are, you might be hired once you finish your
studies.

3.  Defining the objectives of the project.
 Acquiring background information about the
problem and its possible solutions.
 Establishing the criteria by which your
solution(s) to the problem will be judged
 Determining by what process the work will be
carried out.(Methodology)
 Planning the detailed phases of the project.
 Adopting one or more design methodologies.
 Evaluating your solution to the problem.
 Make model/prototype for better evaluation of
your work.
 Reporting on your work.

4.  The “Overachiever” Problem (A common problem is
selecting a topic that is far too ambitious for the
allotted time).
 The “Do It Tomorrow” Problem.
 The “Sleeping Member” Problem.
