DETAILED COURSE CONTENT/COURSE GUIDELINE
A. This major project/major internship/On-Job Training should not be considered
as merely conventional industrial training in which students are sent at work
places with either minimal or no supervision. This experience is required to be
planned in advance and supervised on regular basis by the college faculty.
For the fulfillment of above objectives, polytechnics may establish close
linkage with 8-10 relevant organization for providing such an experience to
students.

B. It is necessary that each organization is visited well in advance and activities

to be performed by students are well defined. The chosen activities should be
such that it matches with the curricular interest to students and of professional
value to industrial/ field organizations. Each teacher is expected to supervise
and guide 5-6 students minimum.

C. The objective of this course is to assess and enhance the presentation

capabilities of the students. Also to impart training to a student to face the
audience and present their ideas and thus nurturing self-esteem and courage
that is essential for an engineer.
