Objectives : This course is intended for

• Increasing the breadth of knowledge

• Enhancing the ability of self study
• Augmenting the skill of Technical Report Writing.

Course Outcomes

The graduate will have acquired

• Debating capability and presentation skills in a technical topic of his interest.

• Knowledge about contemporary issues and research opportunities

• Capacity to communicate effectively and professionally in both verbal and written forms

• Capability for self education and lifelong learning

Syllabus:
Each student is required to choose a topic of his/her interest from Communication /
Applied Electronics or related topics from outside the syllabus and present a topic for
about 45 minutes. A committee consisting of at least three faculty members shall
assess the presentation. Internal continuous assessment marks are awarded based on the
relevance of the topic, presentation skill, quality of the report and participation.

Internal continuous assessment: 100 marks

07EC 7107 PROJECT(PHASE :I) 0-0-12:6

Prerequisite :Nil

Course objectives:

• To identify current issues in the area of Applied Electronics and Communication

Enginnering.

• To improve the professional competency and research aptitude by touching the areas which
otherwise not covered by theory or laboratory classes.

• The project work aims to develop the work practice in students to apply theoretical and
practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry and current research.

. Outline and Evaluation procedure:

The student is required to undertake the project phase-I during the third semester and
is continued in the 4th semester (Phase-II).

Normally students are expected to do the project within the college. However they are permitted to
do the project in an industry or in a government research institute under a qualified supervisor from
that organization. Progress of the project work is to be evaluated at the end of the third semester.
For this a committee headed by the head of the department with two other faculty members in the
area of the project and the project supervisor/s. If the project is done outside the college, the
external supervisor associated with the student shall also be a member of the committee.

Phase-I consists of preliminary thesis work, two reviews of the work and the submission of
preliminary report. First review should highlight the topic, objectives, methodology and expected
results. Second review assesses the progress of the work, preliminary report and future plan of the
work to be completed in the 4th semester. A preliminary report consisting of the work completed
and scope of the work for the 4th semester should be submitted to the Head of department.

Project Progress evaluation details: Marks:50

Pre- requisites: Nil

Course Objectives:

• To improve the professional competency and research aptitude by touching the areas which
otherwise not covered by theory or laboratory classes.

• The project work aims to develop the work practice in students to apply theoretical and
practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry and current research.

Outline and Evaluation procedure:

Project phase-II is a continuation of project phase-I started in the third semester.

There would be two reviews in the 4th semester, first in the middle of the semester and the second
at the end of the semester. First review is to evaluate the progress of the work. Second review would
be a pre-submission presentation before the evaluation committee to assess the quality and quantum
of the work done. This would be a pre-qualifying exercise for the students for getting approval by
the Departmental committee for the submission of the thesis.

Final evaluation of the project will be taken up only if the student has earned all course credits listed
in the first three semesters. Project evaluation shall be done by the same committee constituted in
the third semester with an external expert, either from an academic/R&D organization or from
Industry, as an additional member. Final project grading shall take into account the progress
evaluation done in the third semester and the project evaluation in the fourth semester. If the
quantum of work done by the candidate is found to be unsatisfactory, the committee may extend the
duration of the project up to one more semester, giving reasons for this in writing to the student.
Normally further extension will not be granted and there shall be no provision to register again for
the project.

At least one technical paper is to be prepared for possible publication in journal or conferences. The
technical paper is to be submitted along with the thesis. The final evaluation of the project will be
external evaluation.
