| Completion of BDR project (line route) | +3% |
| Completion of BDR project (roof route) | +10% |

| Completion of ISAR project | +10% |
| Completion of Train Guidance project | +10% |
| Completion of Supermarket project | +3% |
| Each business day project is late | -10%, up to -100% |
The project is due the day of the final presentation. The project is considered late after that time. Note that after 10 business days, the project grade will be a zero.
For example, if you do an early submission of a BDR that uses the tunnel and the project is scored as an 80, your semester long project grade will be 80(the base)+10(early submission)+6(tunnel route), for a total grade of 96.
