Guidelines for Participants

Eligibility for a DREAM Project

  • DREAM projects are for undergraduate students currently studying at the Department of Computer Engineering in Hacettepe University.
  • In order to apply for the program, students must complete one full academic year and they should have a minimum CGPA of 2.5 (all semesters, cumulative).
  • Proposals are accepted once a year (Spring terms), and the accepted proposals are announced on the DREAM webpage after the review period (see Important Dates in Opportunities).

Responsibilities

  • DREAM Students MUST write two short, 4-6 pages technical reports (progress and final reports) documenting the results they obtain within the duration of the project. Due dates of these reports are announced in the DREAM webpage.
  • In between these two reports, each DREAM Student MUST also fill in a survey describing his/her personal and technical progress which addresses the following topics:
    • Successes and challenges of your DREAM project,
    • Impact of your DREAM experience on your undergraduate career, or
    • Any general comments about the DREAM initiative.
  • If you have published any paper(s) as a result of your research collaboration, provide a copy of your publication(s) to the DREAM coordinators.
