IJSPR is the first journal dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed reports on the research and design process, validation and implementation of student-conducted projects in the fields of computing science, engineering, architecture and related areas. The journal also publishes short communications, letters to the Editor and reviews of textbooks in the same areas. A Best Paper Award, sponsored by Maplesoft, is awarded annually.
Topics covered include
- Capstone projects
- Honors projects
- Student club projects
- Student competitions
- Industry sponsorship
- Engineering design and analysis
- Architectural design
- Computer-aided design
- Computer programming
- Prototyping and implementation
- Testing and validation
- Teamwork
- Team leadership
Objectives
The objective of IJSPR is to provide a forum in which students can present the results of their work, and to act as a source of useful ideas for student teams engaging in new projects, including contributions concerning possible mistakes, which will be detailed in the Lessons Learned section of each paper. While teams reporting on their senior design or club projects are expected to be the main contributors to this journal, submissions based on individual student project reports will also be considered, provided that the sequence problem statement, conceptual and detailed design, prototyping, testing and implementation details are provided.
Readership
IJSPR readership includes undergraduate and graduate students, their educators, academic administrators, student project sponsors, organisers of student competitions, and so on.
Contents
IJSPR primarily publishes technical reports of student-conducted projects in all branches of engineering, computing science and computer-generated architecture. Special issues are also published with selections of reports from student competitions.

COVID control: a global study
10 February, 2023
A team from the University of Zagreb in Croatia has surveyed the various ways in which national governments attempted to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2. Writing in the International Journal of Student Project Reporting, Karla Baricevic and Marina Bagic Babac explain how different countries implemented a range of social and economic policies to this end. Their work tracks the epidemiology and shows how the pandemic was affected by the measures put in place. The findings could have implications for controlling the next emergent pathogen with the potential to cause a global pandemic [...]
