The course is a synthesis of skills and knowledge that the students will
have gained from lower levels in the programme. Students are equipped
through formal and non-formal lectures with the following basic skills:
Project Management, Research Methodology, Report Writing, Presentation
and Project Design Skills. Extensive use is made of the Media Centre, the
Computer Simulations Laboratory, Control Systems Laboratory, Process
Instrumentation Laboratory, Electrical Machines Laboratory, Senior
Projects Laboratory and the ultra modern PCB plant. The course is mainly
based on self-study. Other means such as arranged lectures and regular
consultations with project mentors are employed.

4.

Mentor Selection and Consultation


Each student will be allocated the Course Supervisor and a Project
Mentor. These will be drawn from subject specialists from within the
department and from practising technologists in industry. The student is
instructed to:

5.

Consult with the mentor a minimum of once in a week for the duration
of the course.
Ensure that the mentor signs the logbook and assigns continuous
evaluation marks.
Ensure that the Design Project Supervisor(s) sign(s) the logbook on a
monthly basis as indicated.
Follow the guidance of the Mentor and report any problems early to the
mentor.
Students working in industry will be required to have a second
mentor at their place of work to liaise with the Universitys mentor. The
second mentor should meet ECSA mentoring requirements and should
fill in and submit the form attached in this document together with
certified copies of qualifications for approval by the Departmental
Committee for Design Project. Students should visit and consult with
the Universitys mentor and supervisor at least once a month. This
requirement cannot be replaced with telephonic or other means of
communication.

FORMAT OF DOCUMENT

Introduction
A technician who is unable to communicate effectively with his superiors or
colleagues will never receive due credit for his/her work. Information must be
transmitted in a clear and concise manner in order to enable decisions to be made.
The most popular method of technical communication is via the report.
Points to consider before starting your report
The following should be considered prior to starting your report:
1. Why is the report being written?
2. Have the contents been planned in a manner that can be easily understood by the
reader?
3. Who will read the report? This decides the level of technical information that is to
be included.
Suggestions to improve the quality and presentation of your report
1. Choose a short, meaningful title.
2. Include as many tables and diagrams as you think are appropriate. Remember
that a single diagram will often clarify what would otherwise be a very confused
paragraph.
3. Use a simple, clear style of writing. Long and involved sentences are a hindrance
to easy understanding and often contain grammatical errors.
Format of the Start of the Report: Title Page and Plagiarism Declaration
The format to be followed for the title page and plagiarism declaration is shown

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
The objective of the introduction is to acquaint the reader with the problem and to point out
the purpose and significance of the report. Clearly define the specifications and scope of the
project.
CHAPTER 2 - DESIGN
System Block Diagram: Give the systems block diagram including signals and discuss the
function of each stage (block on the diagram).
The body contains the primary message of the report, described in detail. The subject matter
discussed in the body must be logically developed and presented in a manner that is easy for
the reader to understand. All aspects of your design are to be discussed in this section.
Circuit Diagram: Draw the circuit diagram and clearly indicate all its different stages. The
methodology used to design your circuit must also be discussed in this chapter. For example,
if you were designing a driver circuit to provide sufficient current to operate the car motors,
then you must describe the operation of this circuit and also mention the points taken into
consideration during the selection of the driver transistor/s or integrated circuit. All
information on the selected components can be found in the respective data sheets and
application notes. Calculations are to be shown wherever necessary. Also mention any safety
features that you may have incorporated in your design. For example, you may have used an
opto-coupler to isolate the micro-controller from the motor driver circuit.
CHAPTER 3 - CONSTRUCTION
CHAPTER 4 - TESTING
Procedures used to test various stages of the project must be included here.
Software and software design: For micro-controller based projects, the software flowchart
must be given. For high-level programming, the top-down design should be included.
Certain aspects of the software, such as any calculations used must also be detailed in this
chapter. The complete software listing must be shown in an annexure.
CHAPTER 5 - RESULTS
All results obtained during testing should be documented and compared to expected results.
Remember, a graphical representation of your results is usually more meaningful and
therefore preferable to tabulated results.
CHAPTER 6 - CONCLUSION
This chapter discusses the efficiency of the systems design and the conclusions arrived at,
based upon the performance of the design ascertained during the testing stage. You may also

PROBLEMS RELATED TO ACCESS TO FACILITIES

A class representative must be elected by the end of the first week of lectures. All
contact details of the class rep must be submitted to the lecturer. The role of the
class rep is to ensure that all students in this course have access to the required,
working facilities. In the event of problems encountered with any access, whatsoever
deemed necessary, e.g. no internet, lab equipment not functioning, no resource
material, etc., the following procedure must be followed:
i. The case must be brought to the attention of the lecturer immediately, in
writing.
ii. The lecturer will submit his/her written motivation, with the written notification
from the class rep, to the HoD and Control Technician, in the case of nonfunctional labs.
iii. The class rep is required to acknowledge, by means of a lab equipment
audit with the Technician, the status of lab equipment on a routine basis.
iv. It is the responsibility of the class rep to ensure that any matter, as raised
with the lecturer, is discussed at the next departmental meeting and
remedial actions put in place.
v. If, at a point of an assessment, problems arise due to non-functional
facilities, the assessment will in no way be cancelled. If students fail any
assessment, due to access to facilities, the relevant authorities will be
accountable.
vi. If problems to access to facilities are not resolved within a week, the
relevant authorities will be accountable.

DESCRIPTION:
Now-a-days technology has developed to a large extend. At the same time the need
for systems with automation and high security are preferred. So, by using one of the best
technologies available i.e. RF we are designing an automatic power meter reading system for
commercial and domestic purposes. For paying electricity bills we have to go to e-seva for
paying the bills, this is very time consuming process and in electrical department side there

Dr TM Walingo

may be a chance of errors in noting the units and issue of monthly bills. By using this project
we can avoid such problems.
The system is consists of RF digital Power meters installed in every consumer unit and
an electricity system at the energy provider side. The RF Digital Power Meter is a single phase
digital kWh power meter with embedded RF encoder and decoder which utilizes the RF network
to send its power usage reading using encoder back to the energy provider wirelessly. A working
prototype of the system was build to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of automatic
meter reading, billing and notification through the use of RF network.

This project is aimed to develop a system to provide security by intimating the


condition of energy meter reading to the control section. There are two sections in this
project, makes use of a RF transmitter to send the messages resembling the condition.
The main objective of this project is to design a wireless energy meter system with the
help of RF technology. For measuring energy consumed by the user we are going to use one
digital energy meter, at the same time as it uses 1unit the count will be displayed in LCD and
automatically one message will send through RF communication. In this project we are using
bulb as a load. On LCD we are going display No of units consumed in that time. Up to end no
of units consumed and total amount to be pay will update according to the power
consumption.
