GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN PROJECT BATCH 2013 (B.E. CIVIL)

OBJECTIVE
To provide opportunity for the students to demonstrate their independence, individuality
and originality to plan and organize design projects within a specified time frame by way of
understanding public/client requirements, applying, and implementing the techniques that
students have learnt throughout the course to produce a high level design of civil
engineering systems.
PROJECT SELECTION
Students are expected to come up with their own idea for a project. A wide range of topics
is acceptable so long as there is substantial content. Project focus should be on ideas of
designing a whole civil engineering system from start to end. The project is a means for the
students to demonstrate the required level of competence in their chosen field.
Other than given in the University guidelines, the following are expected in the design
project report:
1. Description and Objective of the project
2. Public/Client requirements: Either students themselves create requirements for
the public facility or get the (customer) requirements and specification from
client describing the needs. Identify the uncertain, difficult specifications to
concentrate or to get help from experts. These requirements should answer what
is the need, who has the need and why is it important
3. Design concepts/Ideas to meet the public/Client/Functional requirements. One of
the best ways to identify the design requirements for your solution is to analyze
the good example of a similar, existing product, noting each of its key features.
4. Literature review to learn from the experience of others to avoid their mistakes.
5. Implementation of concept.
6. Assessment of your design with existing/conventional solution or your own
alternative solution.
7. List of deliverables (1. Master list of documents. 2. Drawings and documents)
8. The project report should include realistic constraints such as economic factors,
safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact. If the project is macro
level, then atleast details of land, streets, highways, drainage, traffic volume,
buildings, etc., have to be provided.
9. Estimation of the project to implement from start to finish.
10. Project Schedule from start to finish [in the form of Gantt chart or
flowchart(CPM, PERT)]
11. Conclusion
ARRANGING A GUIDE
The Guide will be one of your teaching faculty members. When students have even a
tentative idea of about their project, after consulting their guide, they are encouraged also to
approach a suitable person outside the department who has interest and expertise in that
area and having a working experience of five years in relevant field with at least M.E.
FORMING A TEAM
Students are expected to form a team of minimum three and not more than four members of
similar interest to work on a project

WORKING WITH THE GUIDE

The Guides role is to provide support and encouragement, to direct the students attention
to relevant literature, to provide technical assistance, to read and comment on the draft
report and to give guidance on the standard and amount of work required. The guide is not
responsible to teach any new skills and languages required for project work or for arranging
any literature or equipment. The students, who are content to carry out their work largely
without supervision, should keep their guide in touch with the progress of the project. The
Guide cannot be counted on to give an automatic seal of approval.
PROCUREMENT OF RESOURCES FOR THE PROJECT
Students, who are in need of any special equipments/hardware/software components which
is not available in the lab, can submit their requirements to the HOD through their guides in
advance
GENERAL RULES
1. No change of guide or team members will be permitted without explicit approval of
the HOD. Head of the department is empowered to change the team members and/or
guides.
2. Students must utilize the time for the project during the periods allocated for the
project. 5 periods per week shall be allotted in the time table.
3. Review timings must be strictly followed
4. All students must sign in the attendance form for every review before the
presentation their project work
5. All reviews should be presented by means of PPTs
6. The PPT must be presented in front of the Review committee members and guide
7. Attendance for all the project hours and reviews must be strictly followed
8. For any data collection outside the college, team must plan ahead and get approval
in the prescribed form from the guide and must submit it to the project coordinator
before leaving the campus.
9. Soft copy of the PPT for every review must be submitted to the project coordinator
10. Before the review starts the batches who are going to present on that day must load
their PPT well before the commencement of the review
11. Project report should be completed in the stipulated time.
12. At the end of the project work, the prototype should be handed over to the
department irrespective of the funding source.
ATTENDANCE DURING PROJECT HOUR
Project time shall be utilized by the students to receive the directions from the guide, for
library reading, laboratory work, computer analysis or field work etc., as assigned by the
guide. Absence during the review/evaluation will be treated on par with absence for Internal
test and will fetch zero marks for that review.
MAINTAINING PROJECT DIARY
Each team shall maintain their own project diary in the appropriate format and get approval
from their guide and project coordinator for the recorded details and day-to-day activities of
the project. If the diary is not submitted or submitted late to the project coordinator,
attendance will not be counted for the non-maintained period.

AVOID PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism by definition is the act of using someone elses words and calling them your own.
It is stressed here that plagiarism may lead to failure of the project. As a practical rule
plagiarism exists if a student attempts to give the impression that he or she is the originator of
an idea, a text, a layout, etc., even though the originator is in fact someone else. This should be
avoided in the project report/presentation. However, students are entitled to use and quote from
the works of other authors provided they give due credit to those works and authors.

PRESENTATION DURING REVIEW/EVALUATION

The purpose of presentation is to train the students in making a professional oral
presentation of the work done by them. It is desirable that all the faculty members are
present for the review/evaluations as this will be an opportunity for the students to get the
ideas/concepts/guidance from all the faculty members.
During the appropriate project review, with the presentation slides, the students must be
able to:
explain the importance of the chosen design project in relation to the programme, such as
to clarify the public/client/project requirements, social issues etc and overall time plan.
(REVIEW 1 14/07/16)
describe and explain the client requirements, design ideas and project specifications with
time schedule for the proposed project (REVIEW 2 21/07/16)
Present literature review done for the project. Describe and produce design requirements
to implement ideas. Produce the progress of the project. (REVIEW 3 - Date:11/08/16)
Present the status of design project carried out and list the identified deliverables with
respect to your design and design methods. (REVIEW 4 Date: 27/08/16)
Integrate all the implementation into final design project and submit as design project report
including all the prepared deliverables. (REVIEW 5 - Date: 23/09/16)
The presentation should indicate the progress of the work in the following format:
Section 1: one slide for Title of the project, Team ID, Students name, Guide name, stats of
previous reviews, current review no. and review period.
Section 2: Preferably one or two slides for work completed till previous
review Section 3: Five to ten slides for work completed during the period of
review. Section 4: One or two slides for future plan for the forthcoming
review. Section 5: References
(All slides should contain the date of presentation and review number in the footer)
Students are encouraged to present their project work during the seminar hours in class.
PREPARATION OF PROJECT REPORT
The main purpose of the report is to explain by students what they have done in the project.
The reader should be able to see clearly what the students have planned and what they have

Page 6

achieved in the project. Project report should describe the problem and explain how it has
been tackled by the students. It should also include students own assessment of how
successful the project was and how it could have been improved.
The project report is to be prepared as per the guidelines/format/standards given by
the Anna University at the time of submission.
SUBMISSION OF PROJECT REPORT
Three copies of the project report have to be submitted (one for SECE central library, one
for the department library and the third for the guide. If there are more than one guide, extra
copies are to be submitted.) along with a softcopy in PDF format. The certificate should
consist of names and roll numbers of all members of the team in the above three copies.
Format/standards issued by the University at the time of submission are to be followed.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
The basic purpose is to assess the competencies of the students with regard to their project
work; more specifically, to assess the students individual contribution to the project, to
establish the level of understanding of project and to ensure that the student has good
understanding in design and development decisions taken in the course of the project. The
assessment of the project will be undertaken by the guide and the review committee. The
committee shall adopt a clear and consistent pattern of asking questions from general to
specific aspects of the project. The projects are to be evaluated as per the table given below
for awarding internal marks in each review.
