Level 3- Highly Addressed, Level 2-Moderately Addressed, Level 1-Low Addressed. Method is to relate the level of PO with the number of hours devoted to the COs which address the given PO. If >40% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is addressed at Level 3 If 25 to 40% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is addressed at Level 2 If 5 to 25% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is addressed at Level 1 If < 5% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is considered not-addressed.

 

 

A.   INTRODUCTION

 

The objective of the project work is to enable the students in convenient groups of minimum of 5 members on a project involving theoretical and experimental studies related to the  branch of study. Every project work shall have a guide who is the member of the faculty of the institution. Six periods per week shall be allotted in the time table and this time shall be utilized by the students to receive the directions from the guide, on library reading, laboratory work, computer analysis or field work as assigned by the guide and also to present in periodical seminars on the progress made in the project.

B.   ROAD MAP FOR THE PROJECT

 

1.       Carry out a session or a seminar from the ISTE Student Chapter coordinator / Programme coordinator with the help of Innovation club / I I I cell for directing the students to identify project areas in the field of their interested including interdisciplinary areas.

2.       Power point presentation in seminar should include detail description of project areas related to program, Project report formats, developing personnel writing skills.

3.       The Students/Departments may at liberty to form the batch not less than 5 and maximum 8 and get registered with project coordinator/HOD at the end of V semester.

4.       Students should take the approval from the Project committee/ Head of department for doing project.

5.       After approval the batch of students will be published in department notice board along with guide in the end of 5^th semester.

6.       All students should finalize their Project immediately before commencement of SEE of 5^th semester.

7.       The types of project may include:

å         Industrial case study

å         Preparation of a feasibility report

å         Design and development of equipment.

å         The overhauling of existing equipment

å         Creation of New facilities

8.       The project should be challenging but manageable within the resources and time available.

9.       Students should undergo reviews for one times in^5th and one times in ^6th semester during the internal assessment. Time table for IA should include project review.The guide should monitor the progress of Project work periodically and it should be finally evaluated for 25 marks at the end of ^5th semester and for 25 marks at the end of ^6th semester.

10.   The IA marks will be evaluated based on oral presentation and assessment by the internal guide by adopting Rubrics being developed by Project committee.

11.   Real time problems, Industry related problems, should be chosen and it is a Responsibilities of the project committee / Programme coordinator/ Innovation club /

I.I.T. cell to choose the appropriate project and to accept the Project Proposal

12.   Identification of Topic: The selection of topic is of crucial importance. It should be field of interest. It is advisable to choose the project can be completed on time and within the budget and resources. The topic should be clear, directional, focussed and feasible.

13.   An outline of project proposal submitted & synopsis from student will initiate a dialogue between Student and Project coordinator who will then help you to work on the chosen topic and report.

 

C.   Industrial visit                                                                       

 

Students are required to undergo an industrial visit for period of at least 3(Three) working days, in V semester only. After completion of their visit the reports should be prepared. Each Student should write the report independently in view of his own observation in industry. All days for the visit should be accounted for clearly giving attendance particulars. The concern accompanying staff is to check student presence and access progress periodically

D. l report

 

Students are required to submit a comprehensive report on factory visit with details of the organization where the training was undergone. The comprehensive report should focus on study of plant/ product /process/ along with intensive in-depth study on anyone of the topics such as processes, methods, tooling, plant layout and equipment, highlighting aspects of quality, productivity of the system. Any data, drawings etc should be incorporated with the consent of the Organization. The comprehensive report should be submitted for the end exam for evaluation
