Project is carried out in four phases:

1. Problem Identification:

In the first phase, students are asked to bring the problems they intend to work on. Counselling is given to students
in lab and contact hours for finalizing their ideas and preparing a proposal. Students must explore the
problems/issues around us, which they can solve using electronic circuits techniques. If the problem brought by the
students are irrelevant to the course or not feasible at this level, they are asked to bring some other problem. Once
ideas are finalized, constant counselling is provided by the Lab Engr. and Course Instructor for requirements, issues,
components, and possible circuitry of each idea.

Following is the list of projects approved after discussion:

2. Project Proposal:

In initial study phase, students must explore the literature or existing solutions for their selected project idea. In this
phase, students are also encouraged to have a detailed analysis of the problem to solve it in a better way. Each
group’s project is unique, may have many possible solutions as well as may be explored and developed in a different
way. After discussion, students are asked to submit a proposal on one idea approved by the Instructor/Lab Engr. A

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Afshan Jamil

COURSE CODE: CP-107

SEMESTER: 2nd (Spring-2021)

ENTRY: 20-CP

Credit Hours: 2 (Theory)+1 (Lab)

Following characteristics of complex engineering problem are targeted in this programming assignment of computer
programming course.

WP 1 Depth of Knowledge Required

WP 2 Range of Conflicting Requirements

WP 3 Depth of Analysis Required

I. CEP statement:

As children, we loved word games. So, let’s do those interesting things again. In this assignment, you'll implement a
word game. While doing this implementation you will use all programming constructs learned in the class till now.

II. Problem definition:

This game is just like a scrabble game.

• First, user is asked to enter number of letters allowed to make word e.g., n
• Then user will be prompted to enter n different letters along with score (1-9) assigned to each letter.
• User will construct one word out of these letters. Each valid word receives a score.
• Score for a word is the sum of the points for letters in the word, plus 50 points if all n letters are used on
the first go.

Program must have following checks:

• Number of allowed letters should not exceed 15 and should not be less than 3.
• Score assigned to each letter should not be negative or zero and should be less than 10.
• Program should display zero score if word constructed by user has any letter other than allowed list.
• User should be asked if he/she wants to play game again.

15
Complex Engineering Problems

• If user enters a number in place of allowed letter loop should immediately terminate with the message
“invalid letter”.
III. Analysis of the problem:

This whole task can be divided into many small sub tasks:

• Setting letter tiles and scores:

In this task user will not only define range of allowed letters to make word but he/she will also enter
random letters and their scores. After this task initial grid of letters is available to user and now, he/she
can make words.
• Constructing word:
User will use allowed letter grid to make meaningful words. While constructing words user will have to
keep all game rules in mind.
• Checking validity of word:
In this phase program will check for validity of word by checking all set constraints. Program will display
a message to user after check and will prompt user to play more.
IV. Evaluation:

Students will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Implementation: 70%
• Output/result achieved: 30%

Summary:

Following are salient outcomes of this assignment in terms of complex engineering problem:

• Brainstorming exercise forced them to explore the surrounding environment to sort out the problems using
programming constructs.
• Implementation gave them a chance to go through the in-depth engineering knowledge to solve the
problem and analyze in an effective way.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE
INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Afshan Jamil
COURSE CODE: CP-310
SEMESTER: 6th (Spring 2021)
ENTRY: 16-CP
Credit Hours: 03 (Theory)+ 0 (Lab)

Semester project is designed in a way to able students to solve the complex engineering problem. Following
characteristics of complex engineering problem are targeted in this semester project of Artificial Intelligence:

WP 1 Depth of Knowledge Required

WP 2 Range of Conflicting Requirements

WP 3 Depth of Analysis Required

CEP statement:

Game playing is a popular application area for artificial intelligence. There are several reasons for this popularity, but
probably the most import reason is that games are suitable for evaluating some of the central techniques of artificial
intelligence, such as search and use of heuristic knowledge. Normally, a game is based on a few, simple rules, and it
is easy to measure success and failure. The purpose of this assignment is to submit a detailed proposal of artificially
intelligent system which can play a given game. While selecting game consider the following two properties.

• It must be a single person or a two-person game

• Environment of the game should be fully observable, i.e., a game where both players know the current
state of the game (nothing is hidden to the players).

Students can also bring project idea other than game.

Project is carried out in four phases:

4. Problem Identification:

In the first phase, students are asked to bring the problems they intend to work on. Counselling is given to students
for finalizing their ideas and preparing a proposal. Students must explore the problems/issues around us, which they
can solve using artificial intelligence models. If the problem brought by the students are irrelevant to the course or
not feasible at this level, they are asked to bring some other problem.

5. Project Proposal:

In initial study phase, students must explore the literature or existing solutions for their selected project idea. In this
phase, students are also encouraged to have a detailed analysis of the problem to solve it in a better way. Each

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Muhammad Majid
COURSE CODE: CP-309
SEMESTER: 5th (Fall-2019)
ENTRY: 17-CP
Credit Hours: 3 (Theory)+1(Lab)

Filtering is one of the most common applications in digital signal processing. Filters attenuate some of the undesired
aspects of the signal partially or completely or enhance some of the desired aspect of the signal. In context of speech
and audio signal processing, the undesired aspect is generally the noise coupled with the signal due to external and
internal noise inducing factors and corrupts the useful information. Therefore, the goal of the filter in this scenario
is to remove the frequencies related to noise from audio signal.

CEP Statement:
Design a digital signal processing-based system, which is capable to enhance the speech signal quality by modifying
its spectrum.

In the planning stage, select the signal processing blocks to enhance the speech signal quality and justify your
selection. In the implementation stage specify the parameters of each block and justify why these parameters are
chosen. Also analyze the noisy speech signal and enhanced speech signal after noise removal.

BLOCKCHAIN AND APPLICATIONS

Credit Hours: 3 (Theory)

Instructor: Muhammad Asif Khan

Motivation:

Although smart contract programming in many ways resembles traditional programming, it raises important new
security challenges. Contracts are “play-for-keeps”, since virtual currencies have real value. If you load money into a
buggy smart contract, you will likely lose it. Further, smart contract programming requires an “economic thinking”
perspective that traditional programmers may not have acquired. Contracts must be written to ensure fairness even
when counterparties may attempt to cheat in arbitrary ways that maximize their economic gains.

CEP Statement:

In contrast to traditional software development where bugs such as buffer overflows are typical, we observed bugs
and pitfalls that arise due to the unique nature of smart contract programs.

Most often very simple smart contracts (e.g., a “Rock, Paper, Scissors” game), designing and implementing them
correctly was highly non-trivial. This suggests that extra precautions and scrutiny are necessary when programming
smart contracts.

Problem

Deliverables:

This design problem is proceeded in two phases.

Creation phase. The first phase is a creation phase where each group will create a smart contract
application of their own choice. The students created a variety of applications, including games (e.g., Rock-
Paper-Scissors, Russian Roulette, custom-designed games), escrow services, auctions (e.g., sealed
auctions, silent auctions), a parking meter service, and stock market applications. At the end of the first
phase, each group will make a short presentation of their contract application in class. I myself, TAs, and
students jointly observe numerous issues with the programs that students will create.

31
Complex Engineering Problems

Amendment phase. The goal of this phase is students related to critique their programs, find bugs, and
amend their designs. The instructor and TAs had in-person meetings with each project group to help them
amend their smart contract programs. Students also formed pair groups to critique and help the other
group. At the end of the first phase, each group will make a short presentation of their design issues and
suggested amendments.

CRYPTOGRAPHY AND NETWORK SECURITY

COURSE CODE: CP-310

SEMESTER: 8th

ENTRY: 17-CP

CREDIT HOUR: 3 (Theory)

Cryptography and Network Security (8th semester)

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols and algorithms for securing data transmitted over the
internet or any public network. IPsec originally defined two protocols for securing IP packets: Authentication Header
(AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). The former provides data integrity and anti-replay services, and the
latter encrypts and authenticates data. IPsec is used for protecting sensitive data, such as financial transactions,
medical records and corporate communications, as it's transmitted across the network. It's also used to secure
virtual private networks (VPNs), where IPsec tunneling encrypts all data sent between two endpoints.

CEP Statement:

Configure IPSEC in windows Operating System for implementing a secure tunnel between two systems that can be
operating on Ethernet LAN or WLAN. Transfer a 100KB file between the systems using SMTP and FTP protocols both
with IPsec on and off. Capture the packets through any packet analyzer tool, such as Ethereal or packet tracer and
evaluate the overheads that act as cost for implementing security through IPsec.
