    GUIDELINES FOR SEMINAR REPORT PREPARATION
    I. OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR

    Objective of the seminar is to assess the debating capability of the student to present a
    seminar on a technical topic. Also to train a student to face the audience and freely
    present his idea without fear thus creating in him self-confidence and courage that are
    essential for an engineer.
    II. SEMINAR TOPIC SELECTION

    Each student is expected to give a seminar on a topic of current relevance in ECE field.
    Interdisciplinary topics from related fields viz Electrical, computer science, electronic
    instrumentation and bio-medical engineering are also permitted. Topics must be selected
    from standard journals or IEEE publications.
    Important:- The seminar report should not be a reproduction of the original paper or
    copied from any other reports.

    III. PREPARATION OF SEMINAR REPORT


    At the end of data collection related to the seminar topic, the student must submit
    a seminar report as per the following specifications:
    1.

    The seminar report should be submitted in A-4 size (29 x 20 cms) typed in Times
    New Roman, Font size 12 and line spacing should be 1.5.

    2.

    Seminar report can submit in hard-bound or soft-bound form.

    3.

    Ensure that the SEMINAR report contains the following : (in the same
    order)
    (Page templates are attached as Appendices and they can be used to prepare respective pages)

    IV. FORMATS
    A. Chapter Numbering
    Chapter numbers should be in numerals and sub-headings should be numbered as
    fo llo ws. (Sample page is given as Appendix-IV )
    Example:
    Chapter 1
    Subheadings : 1.1 subheading name
    1.2 subheading name etc
    Page numbering can be start from the introduction page onwards.

    B. Figures
    All figures in the report should be numbered and named.
    Example:

    Fig. 1. Magnetization as a function of applied field. Note that Fig.


    is abbreviated. There is a period after the figure number, followed by
    two spaces. It is good practice to explain the significance of the
    figure in the caption.

    D. Units
    Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are strongly encouraged.)
    English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses).
    Use cm3, not cc.
    Indicate sample dimensions as 0.1 cm 0.2 cm, not 0.1 0.2 cm2.
    The abbreviation for seconds is s, not sec.
    Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: use Wb/m2 or
    webers per square meter, not webers/m2.
    D. Equations
    Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with
    the right margin.
    Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators.
    Punctuate equations when they are part of a sentence.

    Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation
    appears or immediately following.
    Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is the unit tesla).

    E. References
    There should not have any chapter number for References
    References should be numbered serially and serial numbers should be in square
    brackets as shown in Appendix V.
    Examples for how various types of reference articles (books, technical papers,
    websites etc) are to be mentioned in bibliography :
    (Sample page is given as Appendix- V )
    Format of referred Books:

    [1] G. O. Young, Synthetic structure of industrial plastics (Book style with paper title and
    editor), in Plastics, 2nd ed. vol. 3, J. Peters, Ed. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1964, pp.

    F. Other Recommendations
    Use one space after periods and colons.
    Hyphenate complex modifiers: zero-field-cooled magnetization.
    Use a zero before decimal points: 0.25, not .25.
    When expressing a range of values, write 7 to 9 or 7-9, not 7~9.
    A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the
    closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the
    parentheses.)
    Avoid contractions; for example, write do not instead of dont.
    The serial comma is preferred: A, B, and C instead of A, B and C.
    If you wish, you may write in the first person singular or plural and use the active
    voice (I observed that ... or We observed that ... instead of It was observed
    that ...).
    G. Some Common Mistakes
    The word data is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of
    vacuum 0 is zero, not a lowercase letter o. The term for residual magnetization is
    remanence; the adjective is remanent; do not write remnance or remnant. Use
    the word micrometer instead of micron. A graph within a graph is an inset, not an
    insert. The word alternatively is preferred to the word alternately (unless you really
    mean something that alternates). Use the word whereas instead of while (unless you
    are referring to simultaneous events). Do not use the word essentially to mean
    approximately or effectively. Do not use the word issue as a euphemism for
    problem. When compositions are not specified, separate chemical symbols by endashes; for example, NiMn indicates the intermetallic compound Ni0.5Mn0.5 whereas
    NiMn indicates an alloy of some composition NixMn1-x.
    Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones affect (usually a verb) and
    effect (usually a noun), complement and compliment, discreet and discrete,

    principal (e.g., principal investigator) and principle (e.g., principle of


    measurement). Do not confuse imply and infer.
    Prefixes such as non, sub, micro, multi, and ultra are not independent words;
    they should be joined to the words they modify, usually without a hyphen. There is no
    period after the et in the Latin abbreviation et al. (it is also italicized). The
    abbreviation i.e., means that is, and the abbreviation e.g., means for example
    (these abbreviations are not italicized).
