1. Objective

The Project Work is the most important single piece of work in the engineering degree program.
It intends to develop a detailed understanding and a broad overview of the chosen subject. It
provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate creativity, understanding and originality
in planning and organizing a large project spanned over a long period. It is the opportunity to put
into practice some of the techniques that have been taught during the program. Leaving aside the
level of academic achievement of individual student so far, it is the time to show the competence
and inspiration through the project, as it is worth about a quarter of the final semester marks. If
executed properly, the project can become most enjoyable and rewarding piece of work in the
degree course tenure. Keeping in view the importance of this course, it is worth spending time
for pre preparation of Project. The pre planning for the project starts from 6th semester onwards.

2. Project Topics

Project topics may be selected from a much wider range of the related subjects to specific stream
and may even be interdisciplinary. The topics may be chosen based on the role of engineering to
take up the global challenges, to name some:
 Innovation

 Product / Process improvement

The project should cater to improve (remarkably) any existing product
or process

 Energy and Environment

(i) Energy conservation
(ii) Non conventional Energy Sources
(iii) Environment Protection

 Security
(i) Personal
(ii) Societal
(iii) National

 Community
(i) Improvement in status of individual or community
(ii) Facilitating and improving current Systems
(iii) Countering Digital Divide
(iv) Prototyping of new gadgets, systems and processes

Type the Name of your Project

When making selection for the Project Topic, it is essential to think carefully about the subject
keeping in view individual’s strengths and weaknesses. The help can be taken by consulting
library books or the internet. The projects may vary substantially in breadth, depth and degree of
difficulty. To achieve high marks in the project and, particularly, to win "Eminent Project"
status, the projects should be chosen carefully. The projects that win this status will be eligible
for entry in All India Student Design Competition organized every year by National Design
Research Forum, Bangalore.

Depending on the difficulty level and amount of work involved, projects can be an individual or
group project, with not more than four students in a group. Students have choice to make their
own project proposal or to accept the project assigned to them.

Staff Designed Proposals

For projects proposed by members of staff, the interested students should discuss the
project with the proposer as soon as possible. Projects will be assigned on first come first serve
basis.
Own Proposals
If the students have their own idea for an individual project it is their responsibility
to submit the proposal to the HOD/Coordinator well advance in time so as to enable
them to find the member of staff who is willing to supervise it.

4. Project Approach

Each project should follow the scientific method and should apply the problem-solving
approaches studied in earlier courses. In general, this includes:

Gathering Information: Make review of topic using the published literature as well as
textbooks and students’ reports from previous projects.
Planning: Define the project goals and organize a logical sequence of steps to achieve these
goals. This will vary depending on the project, ability to procure materials, availability of
equipment, etc.
Regular Meetings: Meet regularly with the project supervisor to discuss the work done.
Record Keeping: Keep proper record of the data obtained as well the record of the activities
done.

Project life cycle should have mainly three stages:

Theoretical Study: Further development and/or application of current theory to an existing
field.
Experimental Outcome: Laboratory investigation to obtain results from the theoretical
investigation.
Design and Development: Design process, coupled with prototype construction/development.

Before starting with actual work, it is necessary to understand the role of major contributors in
the project work.
Role and Responsibilities of Supervisor:

Punjab College of Engineering & Technology, Lalru Mandi

13
Type the Name of your Project

• To finalize the project title, an outline and a work plan after discussion with the student.
• To guide the students as from where to find information regarding project.
• To meet the students assigned to him/her on a regular basis, at least one meeting every
week on a prescheduled and agreed time. The initiative and independence of the student
should be encouraged, and the supervisor should avoid giving excessive advice.
• Assist the students in shaping the scope of the work and in understanding the implications
of work, especially when there are contradictory results.
• Advise and prepare the student to present his/her project results at the Pre Project
presentation and final presentation.
• Read through the draft report and make necessary corrections/comments and return it to
the student within a week for final submission.
Above all the supervisors will act as the motivator and also evaluator for the work
being carried.

Role and Responsibilities of Student:

• Before starting the literature survey the student should have preliminary discussions with
the supervisor.
• To prepare outline of the work plan.
• Meet the supervisor regularly (at least once a week) to show the work progress.
• Maintain a work diary of all the activities completed and the important decisions taken
after discussions with the supervisor.
• To ensure that each step of the project is completed as planned and within the expected
time frame.
• To keep the supervisor and department coordinator informed promptly of any problems
that may cause delays in carrying out of the project as planned.
• Maintain cordial relationships with all people interacting during the project phase, be
ethical in all conduct and maintain good discipline in the laboratory, field and other work
places.
• To present the work during pre project presentation and submit the draft report and final
report in time.

5. Project Assessment

Project progress will formally be judged at stages mentioned below. In addition, the supervisor
will monitor the general progress throughout the duration of the Project Work tenure.

Stage I: Project Proposal (Annexure I)

This should include the Project Title and Objectives of the Project work being carried. It should
be submitted to the Department Head in around 500 words. The project proposal should clearly
state and justify the objective of the project as per the categories mentioned under section 2 i.e.
“Project Topics”.

Stage II: Literature Survey (Annexure II)

This should include a detailed survey of the background to the project, including an overview of
the subject, discussion of any essential theories, a review of any important publications (text

Punjab College of Engineering & Technology, Lalru Mandi

14
Type the Name of your Project

books, research papers etc). The literature review involves the definition and initial
understanding of the subject area of your project. Material can be found from books, web, and
from journals. Some journal papers are very difficult to follow, so a fair amount of background
reading may be required.

The following four sections must be included in the literature review:

(i) Abstract: This should state what was reviewed and what the principal findings and their
significance are, in not more than 150 words.
(ii) Literature Review: This should include a detailed survey of the background to your
project, including an overview of the subject, discussion of any essential theories, a review of
any important publications (text books, research papers, web based information, technical data
sheets, etc.). It is not enough to just describe what is in the papers, such as summarizing what
appears to be the consensus for the best approach to a particular problem, and under what
conditions it may be the best, etc.
(iii) Conclusion: This should include the main inferences drawn from literature review together
with directions for future work.
(iv) References: References should be numbered and properly detailed like
[1] Kai Hwang, “Advanced Computer Architecture,” TMH publications, 4th ed.
[2] Maiers J. and Y. S. Sherif, “Application of Fuzzy Set Theory,” IEEE Transactions on
Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Vol. 1, pp. 41-48, Jan 1985.
[3] Miller D., “Prolog: An Introduction to the Language and Its Logic,”
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/dale/1Prolog/index.html, 1996

Literature review should be presented in the same format as the project report and be a
maximum of 1800 words (or around 6 pages of 1.5 line spaced 12 point Times New Roman
type).The written statement of objectives for project is to be submitted along with literature
review report. This will be used when assessing the demonstration and project report. The
literature survey has to be submitted in proper File Covers.
It is expected that the literature review will serve as a basis for the introduction to the project
report. Beware of plagiarism. The Literature Review should be in individual’s own words.
Stage III: Pre Project Demonstration/Presentation
This is the opportunity to show off the work that has been done till that time and to demonstrate
that the working is being done in a right direction to achieve the stated objectives. Pre Project
Demonstration should cover at least Design, Innovation, Technical Understanding and
Operation part (if possible).

Stage IV: Final Project Evaluation

Instructions for completing the project report are contained in Annexure III. The project and
presentation will be judged in the following categories when it is finally presented:
o Design
o Innovation
o Technical Understanding
o Presentation
o Operation
o Testing
