Marks: 60(Int.)+140(Ext.); Credits:8

Major Project (Project - Project work, seminar and internship in industry): In the final semester, the student should mandatorily register and undergo an internship and in parallel, he/she should work on a project with well-defined objectives. At the end of the semester, the candidate shall submit an internship completion certificate and a project report. A student shall also be permitted to submit a project report on the work carried out during the internship. The project report shall be evaluated by an external examiner. The object of Project Work is to enable the student to take up investigative study in the broad field of Computer Science Engineering, either fully theoretical/practical or involving both theoretical and practical work to be assigned by the department on an individual basis or a group of students, under the guidance of a Supervisor. This is expected to provide a good initiation for the student(s) in R&D work. The assignment normally includes:

Survey and study of published literature on the assigned topic.
Working out a preliminary approach to the problem relating to the assigned topic.
Conducting preliminary Analysis/Modeling/Simulation/Experiment/Design/ Feasibility.
Preparing a written report on the study conducted for presentation to the department.
Final Seminar, as oral Presentation before a departmental committee

Evaluation: The total marks for project work are 200 marks and distribution shall be 60 marks for internal and 140 marks for external evaluation.

The supervisor assesses the student for 30 marks (Report: 15 marks, Seminar: 15 marks).
At the end of the semester, all projects shall be showcased at the department for the benefit of all students and staff and the same is to be evaluated by the departmental Project Review Committee consisting of a supervisor, a senior faculty and HoD for 30 marks.
The external evaluation of Project Work is a Viva-Voce Examination conducted in the presence of an internal examiner and external examiner appointed by the Dean Evaluation/ Controller of Examinations and is evaluated for 140 marks.

Technical Writing

Preparing a technical report on a specialized topic.
- A technical report is a concise form of information that is aligned and designed in a standard manner that is easily understandable by a reader. Professors and supervisors mainly evaluate your project based on the technical write-up for it. If your report is accurate, clear, and comprehensible, you will surely bag a good grade.

Guide to technical report writing by Univ. of Sussex

Ideation

Find an area to work in and read papers. Prepare an initial project specification. Discuss it with the supervisor to get suggestions and modalities. Narrow the literature search to the specifications. Extract / formulate high impact problems and finalize project specification. Submit the project proposal.

Area of Interest

November 4th Week

The students may have a free choice in choosing a research topic or the supervisor gives it. In either case, they have to do refinement to show their own engagement with the topic.

Literature Survey

December 1st Week

The purpose of a literature survey is to gain an understanding of the existing research. This survey includes reading scholarly sources (such as books, journal articles, and theses) relevant to a particular topic. It helps you build your knowledge in your field and present a report.

Project Proposal

December 3rd Week

Having gained knowledge about your field of study, now you have to propose a project to prove your hypothesis. This proposal demonstrates convincingly that the study will make a contribution to scientific advancement and is feasible. It must be between 5 and 10 pages.

Design

Prepare a presentation on the area of interest. Design the project and identify the methodology to be adopted. Present the model to the supervisor and finalize it. Collect the data required for the project. Analyse and process the data to project requirements and implement. Discuss the final results with the supervisor.

Design & Methodology

January 3rd Week

Design is a plan to answer your research question. A method is a strategy used to implement that plan. Design and methods are different but closely related because good design ensures that the data you get will help you answer your research question more effectively.

Design: Overall framework of the research. e.g., Survey Design
Method: How the data is collected. e.g., A questionnaire

Data Collection and Analysis

February 3rd Week

Data collection is a gathering of information from various sources. The data analysis is to process data to get useful insights from it. The empirical research relies on real-world data, metrics and results rather than theories and concepts. Data collected from unique sources and methods need specific data analysis methods and tools to process and get insights from them.

Interpretation

Write a paper to publish in a journal. Present the draft report to the supervisor and finalize the report. Submit the final report to the department. Prepare the final project presentation.
