-NOTES :

1- These two tasks are part of the graduation project course and include three portfolios that you have already written (3 portfolios are attached).

2- The project requires writing the final paper with great precision, following the instructions and guidelines in the two attached files. You must follow these steps step by step and accurately, as they count for 50% of the overall grade.

3-You must also design and implement the presentation to match the final paper, which counts for 50% of the overall grade.

4-All attached files (3 portfolios), one samples of the final paper (IEEE), and an Excel program that explains the evaluation and marking method for the project must be read and followed correctly.

When writing the report, presentation, , the following must be taken into account:

1. Include valuable and essential information for the project.

2. Include images, tables, graphs, and charts related to the project.

3. Follow the correct instructions and standards when writing.

4- This material is extremely important, and you must complete it to the highest standards to obtain a full score.

5- The information must be linked to the three portfolios.

6- Focus heavily on the results and discussion.

7- The presentation must clearly explain all sections of the project (final paper).

8- The plagiarism rate must not exceed 10%.

9- The report must be no less than 10 pages, and the presentation must be within 15 slides.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Good luck.
