NAOMI Semester 03B Engineering Program
The following table shows the taks that are planned to be tackled during
the 03B semester. Each task has been placed into the Project Issue
Management System (PIMS).
Each task has a link which should given more information on the task.
This should be a way of keeping up to date on the progress of each
issue. Everyone is encouraged to use PIMS.
