| Recommended development platform for all projects is Linux. I personally use and recommend [[http://www.slackware.com|Slackware]]. [[http://www.devuan.org|Devuan]] is also a good option. Projects that involve source codes (e.g. HDL, C, C++) are **required** to use source code management (SCM) software ([[http://git-scm.com/|git]]). | Recommended development platform for all projects is Linux.

| I define an objective as the targeted final result. I usually set only ONE primary objective and optionally a secondary objective that will/should not affect your final results (though it usually gives you extra marks if completed) - too many objectives usually leads to unsatisfactory results. Meanwhile, scope visualizes how much work is expected - for example, one can say that the primary objective is to design an 8-bit microprocessor. So, the scope should mention maybe something like you're expected to produce schematics with instruction set that covers data transfer/processing and program control, complete with logic simulation results. | I define an objective as the targeted final result.
