The Group
First form groups of 5 students according to your wish.Then we will form groups of 10 by merging two of the smaller groupsGroups will be within the department.This is the best compromise considering the time limitation

University of MoratuwaDepartment of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering
Selection Procedure
By 5.00PM tomorrow I should have the groups of 5 chosen.On Wednesday you will know the merged groups.Two days from there (Friday) I should be informed of the project you are going to undertake.Failing which I will do the assignment of groups and projects.

The Group will consists of ..
A leader appointed by consensus.A spokesperson to interact with the staff.Members in charge of different aspects of the project.A recorder.
