1. PROJECT WORK: 78 HRS

A. INTRODUCTION

The objective of the project work is to enable the students in convenient groups of minimum
of 5 members on a project involving theoretical and experimental studies related to the
branch of study. Every project work shall have a guide who is the member of the faculty of
the institution. Six periods per week shall be allotted in the time table and this time shall be
utilized by the students to receive the directions from the guide, on library reading, laboratory
work, computer analysis or field work as assigned by the guide and also to present in
periodical seminars on the progress made in the project.
B. ROAD MAP FOR THE PROJECT

1. Carry out a session or a seminar from the ISTE Student Chapter coordinator /
Programme coordinator with the help of Innovation club / I I I cell for directing the
students to identify project areas in the field of their interested including
interdisciplinary areas.
2. Power point presentation in seminar should include detail description of project areas
related to program, Project report formats, developing personnel writing skills.
3. The Students/Departments may at liberty to form the batch not less than 5 and
maximum 8 and get registered with project coordinator/HOD at the end of V
semester.
4. Students should take the approval from the Project committee/ Head of department for
doing project.
5. After approval the batch of students will be published in department notice board
along with guide in the end of 5th semester.
6. All students should finalize their Project immediately before commencement of SEE
of 5th semester.
7. The types of project may include:
∑ Industrial case study
2

Directorate Of Technical Education Karnataka StateMECH

 ∑ Preparation of a feasibility report
∑ Design and development of equipment.
∑ The overhauling of existing equipment
∑ Creation of New facilities
8. The project should be challenging but manageable within the resources and time
available.
9. Students should undergo reviews for one times in5th and one times in 6th semester
during the internal assessment. Time table for IA should include project review.The
guide should monitor the progress of Project work periodically and it should be
finally evaluated for 25 marks at the end of 5th semester and for 25 marks at the end of
6th
semester.
10. The IA marks will be evaluated based on oral presentation and assessment by the
internal guide by adopting Rubrics being developed by Project committee.
11. Real time problems, Industry related problems, should be chosen and it is a
Responsibilities of the project committee / Programme coordinator/ Innovation club /
I.I.T. cell to choose the appropriate project and to accept the Project Proposal
12. Identification of Topic: The selection of topic is of crucial importance. It should be
field of interest. It is advisable to choose the project can be completed on time and
within the budget and resources. The topic should be clear, directional, focussed and
feasible.
13. An outline of project proposal submitted & synopsis from student will initiate a
dialogue between Student and Project coordinator who will then help you to work on
the chosen topic and report.

C. Industrial visit

Students are required to undergo an industrial visit for period of at least 3(Three)
working days, in V semester only. After completion of their visit the reports should be

the organization where the training was undergone. The comprehensive report should
focus on study of plant/ product /process/ along with intensive in-depth study on
anyone of the topics such as processes, methods, tooling, plant layout and equipment,
highlighting aspects of quality, productivity of the system. Any data, drawings etc
should be incorporated with the consent of the Organization. The comprehensive
report should be submitted for the end exam for evaluation
