Augmenting the skill of Technical Report Writing.

Outline and Evaluation procedure:

Students have to register for the seminar and select a topic in consultation with any faculty
member offering courses for the programme. A detailed write-up on the topic of the seminar is to
be prepared in the prescribed format given by the Department. The seminar shall be of 30
minutes duration and a committee with the Head of the department as the chairman and two
faculty members from the department as members shall evaluate the seminar based on the report
and coverage of the topic, presentation and ability to answer the questions put forward by the
committee.
Faculty member in charge of the seminar and another faculty member in the department
nominated by the Head of the Department are the evaluators for the seminar. Distribution of
marks for the seminar is as follows.
.
Marks for the report: 30%
Presentation: 40%
Ability to answer questions on the topic: 30%

07EC7307 PROJECT (Phase 1) 0-0-8:6 2015
Pre-requisites: Nil

Course Objectives
To identify current issues in the area of Communication Engineering and Signal
Processing.
To improve the professional competency and research aptitude by touching the areas
which otherwise not covered by theory or laboratory classes.
The project work aims to develop the work practice in students to apply theoretical and
practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry and current
research.

Outline and Evaluation procedure:

The student is required to undertake the project phase-I during the third semester and
is continued in the 4th semester (Phase-II).
Normally students are expected to do the project within the college. However they are permitted
to do the project in an industry or in a government research institute under a qualified supervisor
from that organization. Progress of the project work is to be evaluated at the end of the third
semester. For this a committee headed by the head of the department with two other faculty
members in the area of the project and the project supervisor/s. If the project is done outside the
college, the external supervisor associated with the student shall also be a member of the
committee.
Phase-I consists of preliminary thesis work, two reviews of the work and the submission of
preliminary report. First review should highlight the topic, objectives, methodology and expected
results. Second review assesses the progress of the work, preliminary report and future plan of
the work to be completed in the 4th semester. A preliminary report consisting of the work
completed and scope of the work for the 4th semester should be submitted to the Head of
department.

Course Objectives
To improve the professional competency and research aptitude by touching the areas
which otherwise not covered by theory or laboratory classes.
The project work aims to develop the work practice in students to apply theoretical and
practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry and current
research.
.
Outline and Evaluation procedure:

Project phase-II is a continuation of project phase-I started in the third semester.

There would be two reviews in the 4th semester, first in the middle of the semester and the
second at the end of the semester. First review is to evaluate the progress of the work. Second
review would be a pre-submission presentation before the evaluation committee to assess the
quality and quantum of the work done. This would be a pre-qualifying exercise for the students
for getting approval by the Departmental committee for the submission of the thesis.

Final evaluation of the project will be taken up only if the student has earned all course credits
listed in the first three semesters. Project evaluation shall be done by the same committee
constituted in the third semester with an external expert, either from an academic/R&D
organization or from Industry, as an additional member. Final project grading shall take into
account the progress evaluation done in the third semester and the project evaluation in the
fourth semester. If the quantum of work done by the candidate is found to be unsatisfactory, the
committee may extend the duration of the project up to one more semester, giving reasons for
this in writing to the student. Normally further extension will not be granted and there shall be no
provision to register again for the project.

At least one technical paper is to be prepared for possible publication in journal or conferences.
The technical paper is to be submitted along with the thesis. The final evaluation of the project
will be external evaluation.
