B.Tech. Project Guidelines

Department of
Mechanical Engineering
Preamble
B.Tech. Programs run by the department of Mechanical Engineering prepare the students to
undertake careers in core and allied engineering works. The project work to be done by the
students in different semesters will help in gaining practical experience and required skill sets
for future endeavour. The project guidelines are being framed to provide the students with a
flavour of the procedures to be followed and the expectations to be met. It is also expected
that project guidelines will help supervisors and examiners in evaluation of project work.

Course Objective
The project work will help in acquiring the necessary skill sets required to solve an
engineering related problem and work in a team environment.

Course Outcome
At the end of the course, the student shall be able to:
CO1 Acquire skill sets to solve an engineering related problem.

CO2 Work efficiently in a team environment.

CO3 Plan and execute projects.

CO4 Learn documentation skills and prepare report.

B.Tech. Project Guidelines
1. Every student of the B.Tech. programmes run by the department of Mechanical
Engineering will have to undertake mandatory projects as Skill Enhancement Course as
per their curriculum.

2. The projects should be related to Engineering and Technology and can be Study, Survey,
Review, Fabrication, Application, Experiment, Design based or may be combination of
these.
3. Preferably the project should be based on relevant Engineering concepts but
interdisciplinary projects may also be opted as per NEP-2020.

4. The group size allowed is 2 to 5 students per group, but it should not in any case exceed 5
students. However, in exceptional case, individuals can be allowed with the permission of
chairperson.

5. The respective batch coordinator will act as the project coordinator for that particular
batch. Although, the project supervisors will be separate for each group. It is preferred
that no faculty member supervises more than 3 groups per semester per batch. A weekly
project load of maximum 1 credit/2 hours per semester will be assigned to the project
supervisor irrespective of the total number of groups supervised by him in that semester.

6. The project coordinator will upload the internal/ external marks of the project students on
the ERP portal.

7. The project coordinator will inform the students about the project course at the start
preceding semester, so that students can discuss among themselves and with concerned
supervisors. This will help students to submit their project proposal well in time by the
end of preceding semester (viz.,2nd sem. for 3rd sem. project, 3rd sem. for 4th sem. project,
5th sem. for 6th sem. project and 6th sem. for 7th sem. project). The notice for the project
grouping should be floated at least three weeks prior to the end of the semester for the
next semester projects.

8. For all semester projects, the formation of project grouping should be done by the end of
preceding semester.

9. For the next/ forthcoming semester students may continue/ extend the same project
further or may choose a new topic/ group and supervisor.

10. Mid Term Evaluation will be conducted (except for 3rd and 4th semester project) to
evaluate the progress of the project by a committee formed by the Chairperson of the
department, comprising of 3 to 5 members with at least one Professor in the committee.
For 3rd and 4th semester projects, mid-term evaluation shall be done by the project
supervisor and the marks will be given to the project coordinator.
 11. For all project courses towards the end of the semester, assessment will be done by the
respective supervisors and the marks for the assessment will be given to the project
coordinator for filling on the ERP portal.

12. At the end of the semester, final assessment will be held in front of an examiner as per the
schedule shared by the COE. The marks for the same will be compiled by the Project
coordinator and uploaded on the portal.

13. Rubrics for marks allocation is provided for reference in Table 3, 4 and 5.

14. Timeline to be followed for all B.Tech. project courses is provided in Table 2.

15. The students are to prepare a proper project report as per the guidelines given in section 2.

16. One hard copy and one soft copy of the project report are to be submitted to the project
supervisor. One hard copy of the project report is to be carried by the student at the time
of end term assessment. The soft copy submitted to the supervisor is to be submitted/
maintained by the Chairperson office for the department record through the project
coordinator.

17. The chairperson of the department will be final authority to resolve issues, if any.

We take this opportunity to express our deep sense of gratitude and respect towards our
supervisor Name of supervisor, Designation, Department of Mechanical Engineering/
Robotics and Artificial Engineering, J.C. Bose University of Science & Technology,
YMCA, Faridabad.
We are very much indebted to him for the generosity, expertise and guidance. Without
his support and timely guidance, the completion of this report would have seemed a
farfetched dream. In this respect we find ourselves lucky to have him as our supervisor.
He has supervised us not only with the subject matter, but also taught us the proper style
and technique of working and presentation. It is a great pleasure for us to express our
gratitude towards those who are involved in the completion of my project report.
We would also like to thank Department of Mechanical Engineering, J.C. Bose
University of Science & Technology, YMCA, Faridabad for providing us various
facilities. We are also grateful to all the faculty members & evaluation committee
members for their constant guidance during this project work.
We express our sincere thanks to all our friends, our well-wishers and classmates for their
support and help during the project.
