PROJECT WORK

The objective of project work is to enable the students, to work in convenient groups of not more
than four members in a group, on a project involving some design and fabrication work or
theoretical and experimental studies related to the respective engineering discipline.

Every project work shall have a Guide who is a member of the faculty. Twelve periods per week
shall be allotted in the time table for this important activity and this time shall be utilized by the
students to receive 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 or viva to
review the progress made in the project.

Each student shall finally produce a comprehensive report covering background information,
literature – survey, problem statement, project work details, estimation of cost and conclusions.
This final report shall be in typewritten form as specified in the guidelines.

The continuous assessment and semester evaluation is to be carried out as specified in the
guidelines to be issued from time to time.
