(Completion)

Course Objective: To facilitate the students learn and apply an engineering design process
in electrical and computer engineering, including project resource management. As a part
of a team, the students will make a project, that emphasizes, hands-on experience, and
integrates analytical and design skills. The idea is to provide an opportunity to the students
to apply what they have learned throughout the course of graduate program by undertaking
a specific problem.

Course Description: Capstone Project is increasingly interdisciplinary, and requires

students to function on multidisciplinary teams. It is the process of devising a system,
component or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often
iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are
applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs. It typically includes
both analysis and synthesis performed in an iterative cycle. Thus, students should
experience some iterative design in the curriculum. As part of their design experience,
students have an opportunity to define a problem, determine the problem scope and to list
design objectives. The project must also demonstrate that students have adequate exposure
to design, as defined, in engineering contexts. Engineering standards and realistic
constraints are critical in engineering design. The program must clearly demonstrate where
standards and constraints are taught and how they are integrated into the design
component of the project. Each group will have 4-5students. Each group should select
their team leader and maintain daily diary. Each Group will work under mentorship of a
Faculty supervisor. Each group must meet the assigned supervisor (2hrs slot/week) till the
end of the semester (record of attendance will be maintained), as per the time slot which
will be provided to them by the respective supervisor. This is mandatory requirement for
the fulfilment of the attendance as well as the successful completion of the project. The
faculty supervisor of the project will continuously assess the progress of the works of the
assigned groups. Some part of the analysis and design of the system will be done in the
first section of project in semester VI. The second section would comprise of completion
of the project in semester VII in which each team will have to submit a detailed report of
the project along with a poster.

Course Learning Objectives (CLO)

After the completion of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Identify design goals and analyse possible approaches to meet given specifications with
 realistic engineering constraints.
2. Design an electrical engineering project implementing an integrated design approach
applying knowledge accrued in various professional courses.
3. Perform simulations and incorporate appropriate adaptations using iterative synthesis.
4. Use modern engineering hardware and software tools.
5. Work amicably as a member of an engineering design team.
6. Improve technical documentation and presentation skills.
SEMESTER VIIi
ULC891: PROJECT SEMESTER

L T P Cr.

- - - 15.0

Course Objectives: The project semester is aimed to facilitate the students learn and apply
their acquired skill set for the system development in the domain of Electrical and
Computer Engineering. Each individual student will undertake practical training in a
professional engineering set up (a company, top educational institution, research institute
etc.) hereafter referred to as host “organization” as deemed appropriate. As a part of a team,
the students will make a project, which emphasizes hands-on experience, and integrates
analytical, design, and development skills.
Course Description: The project semester gives the student the opportunity to translate
engineering theory into practice in a professional engineering environment. The technical
activity in the project semester should be related to both the student’s engineering studies
and to the host organization’s activities and it should constitute a significant body of
engineering work at the appropriate level. It should involve tasks and methods that are more
appropriately completed in a professional engineering environment and should, where
possible, make use of human and technology resources provided by the organization. The
idea is to provide an opportunity to the students to apply what they have learned throughout
the course of graduate program by undertaking a specific problem. It consolidates the
student’s prior learning and provides a context for later research studies. The student
remains a full time registered student at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology
during the project semester and this activity is therefore wholly distinct from any industrial
interactions which may occur over vacation periods.
Assessment Details: Each student is assigned a faculty supervisor who is responsible for
managing and assessment of the project semester. The faculty supervisor monitors the
student’s progress in a semester and interacts with the industry mentor during his/her visit to
the host organization twice. The evaluation scheme in the projects semester includes a
Reflective Diary which is updated throughout the project semester, a Mid-Way Project
Report, a Final Report with Learning Agreement/Outcomes and an End semester
Presentation & Viva. Each student will present his/her work to the panel of examiners
which involves the faculty Supervisor and some other members from the department. The
mentor from the host organization is asked to provide his assessment on the designated
forms. The faculty supervisor is responsible for managing and performing the assessment of
the project semester experience.

Course learning Outcomes (CLO):

Upon completion of project semester, the students will be able to:
1. develop skills necessary for time management, reporting and carrying out projects
within an organization/industry.
 2. acquire knowledge and experience of software and hardware practices in the area of
project.
3. carry out design calculations and implementations in the area of project.
4. associate with the implementation of the project requiring individual and teamwork
skills.
5. communicate their work effectively through technical report writing and presentation.

Course Objectives: The design project is introduced in Electrical and Computer

Engineering undergraduate programme to include a practical training in the university itself
for six months.
Course Description: The project offers the student the opportunity to demonstrate
engineering theory into practice under the supervision of a faculty supervisor in electrical
engineering department. The students are also offered with two courses. The technical
activity in the project semester should be related to both the student’s engineering studies
and the faculty supervisor’s guide lines to make working model in the area of application of
electrical engineering. It involves tasks and methods that are more appropriately completed
in an academic practical environment and should, where possible, make use of human and
technology resources provided by the university. It consolidates the student’s prior learning
and provides a context for later research studies. The student remains a full-time registered
student at Thapar University during the project semester and this activity is, therefore,
wholly distinct from any industrial interactions which may occur over vacation periods.
Assessment Details: Each student is assigned a faculty supervisor who is responsible for
managing and assessment of the alternate project semester. The faculty supervisor guides the
students till the end of semester and monitors the student’s progress throughout the same.
This includes a Reflective Diary which is updated throughout the alternate project semester,
an Interim Project Report, a Final Report with Learning Agreement/Outcomes and a Final
Presentation & Viva which involves the faculty Supervisor and some other faculty members
from the department.
