To expose the communication of the students by conducting seminar
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE
1. To motivate the students to attain the confidence and competence.

 The students are asked to give a seminar on the recent trends in the field of
electrical engineering on an individual basis and evaluation will be done by a
panel of faculty members. So this course has no credits and no end semester
examination. It is only a pass/fail course. However this course is mandatory and
the student has to pass the course to become eligible for the award of degree.

1. To impart the practical knowledge to the students and also to make them to
carry out the technical procedures in their project work. To provide an exposure
to the students to refer, read and review the research articles, journals and
conference proceedings relevant to their project work and placing this as their
beginning stage for their final presentation.

 Every student has to identify the project supervisor (guide) based on their thrust
area of research. He/She has to give the objectives of the project work and the
detailed work plan. The project topic will be approved by the project evaluation
committee. The committee will assess/review the work done by them by
conducting periodical reviews. He/She has to submit a project report at the end of
the semester. The grades will be awarded based on their performance in the
internal reviews and the viva voce exam conducted at the end of the semester.
The topic should be in the recent trends in the field of Power Electronics
engineering.

and to implement their innovative ideas to forefront the risk issues and to
retrieve the hazards by adopting suitable assessment methodologies and
stating it to global.

 Usually the student has to continue the work carried out in Phase I. The student’s
performance will be evaluated by conducting periodical reviews by the committee
members nominated by the head of the department.
 The end semester examination/ viva voce will be conducted by the
External/Internal Examiner nominated by the controller of examinations. Due
weight age & considerations will be given in the internal marks for the project work
presented in conferences/ Journals.
