BT423 SEMINAR

Instruction 3L Periods per week

Sessionals 25 Marks
Credits 1

Oral presentation is an important aspect of engineering education. The objective of the seminar is to prepare the
student for a systematic and independent study of state of the art topics in a broad area of his /her specialization.

Seminar topics may be chosen by the students with advice from the faculty members. Students are to be exposed to
following aspects of seminar presentations.

Literature survey
Consolidation of available information
Power point Preparation
Technical writing

Each student is required to:

1. Submit a one page synopsis of the seminar talk for display on the notice board.
2. Give twenty(20) minutes presentation through OHP/ PPT/ Slide Projector followed by
Ten (10) minutes discussion
3. Submit a report on the seminar topic with list of references and hard copy of the slides.

Seminars are to be scheduled from 3rd week to the last week of the semester and any change in schedule should be
discouraged.

For the award of sessional marks students are judged by three (3) faculty members and are based on oral and written
presentations as well as their involvement in the discussions during the oral presentation.

BT 901 PROJECT

Instruction 6L Periods per week

University Examination Viva-voce
University Examination 100 Marks
Sessionals 50 Marks
Credits 9

Dealing with a real time problem should be the focus of under graduate project.
All projects will be monitored at least four times in the II-semester through individual presentations (Project batch
wise).

Every student should maintain a project dairy, wherein he/she needs to record the progress of his/her work and get it
signed at least once in a week by the guide(s). If working outside and college campus, both the external and internal
guides should sign the same.

Sessional marks should be based on the marks, awarded by a project monitoring committee of faculty members as
well as the marks given by the guide.

Common norms are established for final documentation of the project report, the students are directed to download
from the website regarding the guidelines for preparing the project report and the project report format.

The project report shall be evaluated for 100 Marks by the External Examiner.

If the project work found inadequate in the end examination, the candidate should repeat the project work with a new
problem or improve the quality of work and report it again.

Break up for 100 Marks in the end examination:

1. Power point presentation 20 Marks

2. Thesis/Report preparation 40 Marks
