RATIONALE
Students‘ Project Work aims at developing innovative skills in the students whereby they apply
the knowledge and skills gained through the course covered in many subjects and Labs, by
undertaking a project. The prime emphasis of the project work is to understand and apply the
basic knowledge of the principles of Electrical engineering and practices in real life situations,
so as to participate and manage a large Electrical engineering projects, in future. Entire Project
spreads over 5th and 6th Semester. Part of the Project covered in 5th Semester was named as
Project Phase-I and balance portion to be covered in 6th Semester shall be named as Project
Phase-II.
OBJECTIVES

After undergoing the Project Work, the student will be able to:
 Implement the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills gained through various
subjects/courses into an application suitable for a real practical working environment,
preferably in an industrial environment.
 Develop software packages or applications and implement these for the actual needs of
the community/industry.
 Identify and contrast gap between the technological knowledge acquired through
curriculum and the actual industrial need and to compensate it by acquiring additional
knowledge as required.
 Carry out cooperative learning through synchronous guided discussions within the class
in key areas, asynchronous document sharing and discussions, as well as prepare
collaborative edition of the final project report.
 To achieve real life experience in Project design.
 To develop the skill of writing Project Report

Project Phase-I and Phase-II

The Project work duration covers 2 semesters(5th and 6th sem). The Grouping of students,
selection of Project, assignment of Project Guide to the Group was done in the beginning of 5 th
semester under Project Phase-I. The students were allowed to study literature, any existing
system and then define the Problem/objective of the Project. Preliminary work and Design of the
system also have to be complete in Phase-I. Development may also begin in this phase. Project
Milestones are to be set so that progress can be tracked .
In Phase-II Development, Testing, Documentation and Implementation have to be complete.
Project Report have to be prepared and complete in Phase-II. All Project reports should be
organized uniformly in proper order, irrespective of group. Teacher Guides can make suitable

Page 22 of 28

alteration in the components of Task and schedule.

At the end of Project Phase-II in 6th semester there shall be one presentation by each group on
whole Project work undertaken by them.

A suggestive criterion for assessing student performance by the external (preferably person
from industry) and internal (teacher) examiner is given in table below:

Sl. No. Performance Criteria

1. Selection of project assignment

2. Planning and execution of considerations
3. Quality of performance
4. Providing solution of the problems or
production of final product
5. Sense of responsibility
6. Self expression/ communication/
Presentation skills
7. Interpersonal skills/human relations
8. Report writing skills
9 Viva voce

The teachers are free to evolve other criteria of assessment, depending upon the type of project
work.
It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work done by
the students and invite leading Industrial organisations to such an exhibition.

The Project Report need to be prepared as per standard format and following is the indicative
format. The Teacher Guide may make minor alteration keeping the sense in tact.

Organization of Project Report
