1. RATIONALE
The course is required to develop the skill of initiative, confidence and ability to tackle
new problems. It also helps in the spirit of enquiry, creativity and innovativeness. This
course develops the ability of self-directed learning, work in a team and leads the team.
It also enhances the presentation abilities of the students. Project planning is the
purposeful student activity which is planned, designed and performed by the student
individually or in a group to solve identified real life problem and providing feasible
solution.

3. Present the seminar on selected topic
4. Carry out literature survey to decide area of project topics.
5. Collect relevant information and data to prepare abstract for identified project
topics.
6. Prepare execution schedule and resources required for above selected project topics.
7. Prepare the project planning report based on above activities.

5. GUIDELINES FOR UNDERTAKING SEMINAR AND PROJECT PLANNING

The seminar topic shall be selected by individual student on recent/emerging trends

in engineering in the IIIrd odd term. The student will prepare 10-15 pages report on
seminar and finally power point presentation at the end of the term.
The selection of project title must have emphasis on the recent /innovative ideas/industrial
&field problem, solution to attain respective COs and POs of the programme. The students
will then work on the identified problem task through a rigorous process of understanding
and analyzing the problem, conducting literature survey, deriving, discussing with the
mentor/guide. Prepare the project planning report. The project team will prepare project
planning with following sub titles.

a) Title page including title of project, presented to whom, presented by whom, on what
year.
b) Certificate
