 SUMMER INTERNSHIP EVALUATION-II
Course Code: AIE6735 Credit Units: 03

Guidelines:
There are certain phases of every Intern‟s professional development that cannot be effectively taught
in the academic environment. These facets can only be learned through direct, on-the-job experience
working with successful professionals and experts in the field. The internship program can best be
described as an attempt to institutionalize efforts to bridge the gap between the professional world and
the academic institutions. Entire effort in internship is in terms of extending the program of education
and evaluation beyond the classroom of a university or institution. The educational process in the
internship course seeks out and focuses attention on many latent attributes, which do not surface in the
normal classroom situations. These attributes are intellectual ability, professional judgment and
decision-making ability, inter-disciplinary approach, skills for data handling, ability in written and
oral presentation, sense of responsibility etc.

In order to achieve these objectives, each student will maintain a file (Internship File). The
Internship File aims to encourage students to keep a personal record of their learning and achievement
throughout the Programme. It can be used as the basis for lifelong learning and for job applications.
Items can be drawn from activities completed in the course modules and from the workplace to
demonstrate learning and personal development.

The File will assess the student‟s analytical skills and ability to present supportive evidence, whilst
demonstrating understanding of their organization, its needs and their own personal contribution to
the organization.

The layout guidelines for the Project & Seminar Report:

1. File should be in the following specification:

A4 size paper
Font: Arial (10 points) or Times New Roman (12 points)
Line spacing: 1.5
Top & bottom margins: 1 inch/ 2.5 cm
Left & right margins: 1.25 inches/ 3 cm

2. Report Layout: The report should contain the following components:

Front Page
Table of Content
Acknowledgement
Student Certificate
Company Profile (optional)
Introduction
Main Body
References / Bibliography

The File will include five sections in the order described below. The content and comprehensiveness
of the main body and appendices of the report should include the following:

1. The Title Page--Title - An Internship Experience Report For (Your Name), name of internship
organization, name of the Supervisor/Guide and his/her designation, date started and completed, and
number of credits for which the report is submitted.
2. Table of Content--an outline of the contents by topics and subtopics with the page number and
location of each section.
3. Introduction--short, but should include how and why you obtained the internship experience
position and the relationship it has to your professional and career goals.
4. Main Body--should include but not be limited to daily tasks performed. Major projects contributed
to, dates, hours on task, observations and feelings, meetings attended and their purposes, listing of

73
tools and materials and their suppliers, and photographs if possible of projects, buildings and co-
workers.
5. References / Bibliography --This should include papers and books referred to in the body of the
report. These should be ordered alphabetically on the author's surname. The titles of journals
preferably should not be abbreviated; if they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally
recognised system

ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERNSHIP FILE

The student will be provided with the Student Assessment Record (SAR) to be placed in front of the
Internship File. Each item in the SAR is ticked off when it is completed successfully. The faculty will
also assess each item as it is completed. The SAR will be signed by the student and by the faculty to
indicate that the File is the student‟s own work. It will also ensure regularity and meeting the delaines.

 TERM PAPER
Course Code: AIE6731 Credit Units: 02

A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular
subject.
The students will choose the topic at the beginning of the session in consultation with the faculty
assigned. The progress of the paper will be monitored regularly by the faculty. At the end of the
semester the detailed paper on the topic will be submitted to the faculty assigned. The evaluation will
be done by Board of examiners comprising of the faculties.

GUIDELINES FOR TERM PAPER

The procedure for writing a term paper may consist of the following steps:
1. Choosing a subject
2. Finding sources of materials
3. Collecting the notes
4. Outlining the paper
5. Writing the first draft
6. Editing & preparing the final paper

1. Choosing a Subject
The subject chosen should not be too general.

2. Finding Sources of Materials

a) The material sources should be not more than 10 years old unless the nature of the paper is
such that it involves examining older writings from a historical point of view.
b) Begin by making a list of subject-headings under which you might expect the subject to be
listed.
c) The sources could be books and magazine articles, news stories, periodicals, scientific
journals etc.

3. Collecting the Notes

Skim through sources, locating the useful material, then make good notes of it, including quotes and
information for footnotes.
a) Get facts, not just opinions. Compare the facts with author's conclusion.
b) In research studies, notice the methods and procedures, results & conclusions.
c) Check cross references.

4. Outlining the paper

a) Review notes to find main sub-divisions of the subject.
b) Sort the collected material again under each main division to find sub-sections for outline so that
it begins to look more coherent and takes on a definite structure. If it does not, try going back and
sorting again for main divisions, to see if another general pattern is possible.

5. Writing the first draft

Write the paper around the outline, being sure that you indicate in the first part of the paper what its
purpose is. You may follow the following:
a) statement of purpose
b) main body of the paper
c) statement of summary and conclusion
Avoid short, bumpy sentences and long straggling sentences with more than one main idea.

6. Editing &Preparing the final Paper

a) Before writing a term paper, you should ensure you have a question which you attempt to answer
in your paper. This question should be kept in mind throughout the paper. Include only
information/ details/ analyses of relevance to the question at hand. Sometimes, the relevance of a
particular section may be clear to you but not to your readers. To avoid this, ensure you briefly
explain the relevance of every section.
78
b) Read the paper to ensure that the language is not awkward, and that it "flows" properly.
c) Check for proper spelling, phrasing and sentence construction.
d) Check for proper form on footnotes, quotes, and punctuation.
e) Check to see that quotations serve one of the following purposes:
(i) Show evidence of what an author has said.
(ii) Avoid misrepresentation through restatement.
(iii) Save unnecessary writing when ideas have been well expressed by the original author.
f) Check for proper form on tables and graphs. Be certain that any table or graph is self-explanatory.

Term papers should be composed of the following sections:

1) Title page
2) Table of contentsIntroduction
3) Review
4) Discussion&Conclusion
5) References
6) Appendix

Generally, the introduction, discussion, conclusion and bibliography part should account for a third of
the paper and the review part should be two thirds of the paper.

Discussion
The discussion section either follows the results or may alternatively be integrated in the results
section. The section should consist of a discussion of the results of the study focusing on the question
posed in the research paper.

Conclusion
The conclusion is often thought of as the easiest part of the paper but should by no means be
disregarded. There are a number of key components which should not be omitted. These include:
a) summary of question posed
b) summary of findings
c) summary of main limitations of the study at hand
d) details of possibilities for related future research

Reference
From the very beginning of a research project, you should be careful to note all details of articles
gathered.
The bibliography should contain ALL references included in the paper. References not included in the
text in any form should NOT be included in the bibliography.
The key to a good bibliography is consistency. Choose a particular convention and stick to this.

 MINOR PROJECT
Course Code: AIE6837 Credit Units: 08

GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT FILE

Research experience is as close to a professional problem-solving activity as anything in the
curriculum. It provides exposure to research methodology and an opportunity to work closely with a
faculty guide. It usually requires the use of advanced concepts, a variety of experimental techniques,
and state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Research is genuine exploration of the unknown that leads to new knowledge which often warrants
publication. But whether or not the results of a research project are publishable, the project should be
communicated in the form of a research report written by the student.
Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into account that
initial drafts should be critiqued by the faculty guide and corrected by the student at each stage.
The File is the principal means by which the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care
should be taken in its preparation.

In general, the File should be comprehensive and include

A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the project;
A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated goals.
A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination processes engaged in as part of
the project;
Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the project, or as a future initiative directly
resulting from the project;
Any problems that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.

 Report Layout
The report should contain the following components:

 Title or Cover Page

The title page should contain the following information: Project Title; Student‟s Name; Course; Year;
Supervisor‟s Name.

 Acknowledgements(optional)
Acknowledgment to any advisory or financial assistance received in the course of work may be given.

 Abstract
A good"Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully informative. First
paragraph should state what was accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not
have to be an entire summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and results of
the project

 Table of Contents
Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with those in the text.

 Introduction
Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the structure of
the rest of the report should be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the
reader, so excessive details should be avoided.

 Materials and Methods

This section should aim at experimental designs, materials used. Methodology should be mentioned in
details including modifications if any.

 Results and Discussion

Present results, discuss and compare these with those from other workers, etc. In writing these
section, emphasis should be given on what has been performed and achieved in the course of the
work, rather than discuss in detail what is readily available in text books. Avoid abrupt changes in
contents from section to section and maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and
closing paragraph in every chapter could be included to aid in smooth flow.

Note that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as possible be next to the
associated text, in the same orientation as the main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or
captions. All major equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary never write in
“point” form.

 Conclusion
A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome of the work is mentioned briefly.
 Future prospects

 Appendices
The Appendix contains material which is of interest to the reader but not an integral part of the thesis
and any problem that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.

 References / Bibliography
This should include papers and books referred to in the body of the report. These should be ordered
alphabetically on the author's surname. The titles of journals preferably should not be abbreviated; if
they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally recognised system.

 SUMMER INTERNSHIP EVALUATION-III
Course Code: AIE6935 Credit Units: 06

Guidelines:
There are certain phases of every Intern‟s professional development that cannot be effectively taught
in the academic environment. These facets can only be learned through direct, on-the-job experience
working with successful professionals and experts in the field. The internship program can best be
described as an attempt to institutionalize efforts to bridge the gap between the professional world and
the academic institutions. Entire effort in internship is in terms of extending the program of education
and evaluation beyond the classroom of a university or institution. The educational process in the
internship course seeks out and focuses attention on many latent attributes, which do not surface in the
normal classroom situations. These attributes are intellectual ability, professional judgment and
decision-making ability, inter-disciplinary approach, skills for data handling, ability in written and
oral presentation, sense of responsibility etc.

In order to achieve these objectives, each student will maintain a file (Internship File). The
Internship File aims to encourage students to keep a personal record of their learning and achievement
throughout the Programme. It can be used as the basis for lifelong learning and for job applications.
Items can be drawn from activities completed in the course modules and from the workplace to
demonstrate learning and personal development.

The File will assess the student‟s analytical skills and ability to present supportive evidence, whilst
demonstrating understanding of their organization, its needs and their own personal contribution to
the organization.

The layout guidelines for the Project & Seminar Report:

1. File should be in the following specification:

A4 size paper
Font: Arial (10 points) or Times New Roman (12 points)
Line spacing: 1.5
Top & bottom margins: 1 inch/ 2.5 cm
Left & right margins: 1.25 inches/ 3 cm

2. Report Layout: The report should contain the following components:

Front Page
Table of Content
Acknowledgement
Student Certificate
Company Profile (optional)
Introduction
Main Body
References / Bibliography

The File will include five sections in the order described below. The content and comprehensiveness
of the main body and appendices of the report should include the following:

1. The Title Page--Title - An Internship Experience Report For (Your Name), name of internship
organization, name of the Supervisor/Guide and his/her designation, date started and completed, and
number of credits for which the report is submitted.
2. Table of Content--an outline of the contents by topics and subtopics with the page number and
location of each section.
3. Introduction--short, but should include how and why you obtained the internship experience
position and the relationship it has to your professional and career goals.
4. Main Body--should include but not be limited to daily tasks performed. Major projects contributed
to, dates, hours on task, observations and feelings, meetings attended and their purposes, listing of
tools and materials and their suppliers, and photographs if possible of projects, buildings and co-
workers.
5. References / Bibliography --This should include papers and books referred to in the body of the
report. These should be ordered alphabetically on the author's surname. The titles of journals
preferably should not be abbreviated; if they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally
recognised system

ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERNSHIP FILE

The student will be provided with the Student Assessment Record (SAR) to be placed in front of the
Internship File. Each item in the SAR is ticked off when it is completed successfully. The faculty will
also assess each item as it is completed. The SAR will be signed by the student and by the faculty to
indicate that the File is the student‟s own work. It will also ensure regularity and meeting the delaines.

PROJECT-DISSERTATION-II
Course Code: AIE6037 Credit Units: 15

GUIDELINES FOR DISSERTATION

Research experience is as close to a professional problem-solving activity as anything in the
curriculum. It provides exposure to research methodology and an opportunity to work closely with a
faculty guide. It usually requires the use of advanced concepts, a variety of experimental techniques,
and state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Research is genuine exploration of the unknown that leads to new knowledge which often warrants
publication. But whether or not the results of a research project are publishable, the project should be
communicated in the form of a research report written by the student.
Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into account that
initial drafts should be critiqued by the faculty guide and corrected by the student at each stage.
The File is the principal means by which the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care
should be taken in its preparation.

In general, the File should be comprehensive and include

A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the project;
A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated goals.
A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination processes engaged in as part of
the project;
Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the DISSERTION, or as a future initiative
directly resulting from the project;
Any problems that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.

 Report Layout
The report should contain the following components:

 Title or Cover Page

The title page should contain the following information: Project Title; Student‟s Name; Course; Year;
Supervisor‟s Name.

 Acknowledgements (optional)
Acknowledgment to any advisory or financial assistance received in the course of work may be given.

 Abstract
A good"Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully informative. First
paragraph should state what was accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not
have to be an entire summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and results of
the project

 Table of Contents
Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with those in the text.

 Introduction
Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the structure of
the rest of the report should be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the
reader, so excessive details should be avoided.
 Materials and Methods
This section should aim at experimental designs, materials used. Methodology should be mentioned in
details including modifications if any.
 Results and Discussion
Present results, discuss and compare these with those from other workers, etc. In writing these
section, emphasis should be given on what has been performed and achieved in the course of the
work, rather than discuss in detail what is readily available in text books. Avoid abrupt changes in
contents from section to section and maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and
closing paragraph in every chapter could be included to aid in smooth flow.

Note that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as possible be next to the
associated text, in the same orientation as the main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or
captions. All major equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary never write in
“point” form.

 Conclusion
A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome of the work is mentioned briefly.
 Future prospects

 Appendices
The Appendix contains material which is of interest to the reader but not an integral part of the thesis
and any problem that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.

 References / Bibliography
This should include papers and books referred to in the body of the report. These should be ordered
alphabetically on the author's surname. The titles of journals preferably should not be abbreviated; if
they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally recognised system.

ASSESSMENT OF THE DISSERTATION FILE

Essentially, marking will be based on the following criteria: the quality of the report, the technical
merit of the project and the project execution.
Technical merit attempts to assess the quality and depth of the intellectual efforts put into the project.
Project execution is concerned with assessing how much work has been put in.
The File should fulfill the following assessment objectives:

Selecting the Dissertation Topic
It is usual to give you some discretion in the choice of topic for the dissertation and the approach to be
adopted. You will need to ensure that your dissertation is related to your field of specialization.

Deciding this is often the most difficult part of the dissertation process, and perhaps, you have been
thinking of a topic for some time.

It is important to distinguish here between „dissertation topic‟ and „dissertation title‟. The topic is the
specific area that you wish to investigate. The title may not be decided until the dissertation has been
written so as to reflect its content properly.

Few restrictions are placed on the choice of the topic. Normally we would expect it to be:
 relevant to business, defined broadly;
 related to one or more of the subjects or areas of study within the core program and specialisation
stream;
 clearly focused so as to facilitate an in-depth approach, subject to the availability of adequate
sources of information and to your own knowledge;
 of value and interest to you and your personal and professional development.

Planning the Dissertation

This will entail following:
 Selecting a topic for investigation.
 Establishing the precise focus of your study by deciding on the aims and objectives of the
dissertation, or formulating questions to be investigated. Consider very carefully what is worth
investigating and its feasibility.
 Drawing up initial dissertation outlines considering the aims and objectives of the dissertation.
Workout various stages of dissertation
 Devising a timetable to ensure that all stages of dissertation are completed in time. The timetable
should include writing of the dissertation and regular meetings with your dissertation guide.

The Dissertation plan or outline

It is recommended that you should have a dissertation plan to guide you right from the outset.
Essentially, the dissertation plan is an outline of what you intend to do, chapter wise and therefore
should reflect the aims and objectives of your dissertation.

There are several reasons for having a dissertation plan

 It provides a focus to your thoughts.
 It provides your faculty-guide with an opportunity, at an early stage of your work, to make
constructive comments and help guide the direction of your research.
 The writing of a plan is the first formal stage of the writing process, and therefore helps build up
your confidence.
 In many ways, the plan encourages you to come to terms with the reading, thinking and writing in
a systematic and integrated way, with plenty of time left for changes.
 Finally, the dissertation plan generally provides a revision point in the development of your
dissertation report in order to allow appropriate changes in the scope and even direction of your
work as it progresses.

Keeping records
This includes the following:

 Making a note of everything you read; including those discarded.

 Ensuring that when recording sources, author‟s name and initials, date of publication, title, place of
publication and publisher are included. (You may consider starting a card index or database from
the outset). Making an accurate note of all quotations at the time you read them.
 Make clear what is a direct a direct quotation and what is your paraphrase.
Dissertation format
All students must follow the following rules in submitting their dissertation.
 Front page should provide title, author, Name of degree/diploma and the date of submission.
 Second page should be the table of contents giving page references for each chapter and section.
 The next page should be the table of appendices, graphs and tables giving titles and page
references.
 Next to follow should be a synopsis or abstract of the dissertation (approximately 500 words)
 Next is the „acknowledgements‟.
 Chapter I should be a general introduction, giving the background to the dissertation, the
objectives of the dissertation, the rationale for the dissertation, the plan, methodological issues and
problems. The limitations of the dissertation should also be hinted in this chapter.
 Other chapters will constitute the body of the dissertation. The number of chapters and their
sequence will usually vary depending on, among others, on a critical review of the previous
relevant work relating to your major findings, a discussion of their implications, and conclusions,
possibly with a suggestion of the direction of future research on the area.
 After this concluding chapter, you should give a list of all the references you have used. These
should be cross - references with your text. For articles from journals, the following details are
required e.g.

Draper P and Pandyal K. 1991, The Investment Trust Discount Revisited, Journal of Business
Finance and Accounting, Vol18, No6, Nov, pp 791-832.

For books, the following details are required:

Levi, M. 1996, International Financial Management, Prentice Hall, New York, 3rd Ed, 1996

 Finally, you should give any appendices. These should only include relevant statistical data or
material that cannot be fitted into the above categories.

The Layout Guidelines for the Dissertation

 A4 size Paper
 Font: Arial (10 points) or Times New Roman (12 points)
 Line spacing: 1.5
 Top and bottom margins: 1 inch/ 2.5 cm; left and right margins: 1.25 inches/ 3 cm

Guidelines for the assessment of the Dissertation

While evaluating the dissertation, faculty guide will consider the following aspects:
1. Has the student made a clear statement of the objective or objective(s).
2. If there is more than one objective, do these constitute parts of a whole?
3. Has the student developed an appropriate analytical framework for addressing the problem at hand.
4. Is this based on up-to-date developments in the topic area?
5. Has the student collected information / data suitable to the frameworks?
6. Are the techniques employed by the student to analyse the data / information appropriate and
relevant?
7. Has the student succeeded in drawing conclusion form the analysis?
8. Do the conclusions relate well to the objectives of the project?
9. Has the student been regular in his work?
10. Layout of the written report.
