The Major Project experience is the culminating academic endeavor of students who earn a
degree in their Undergraduate Programs. The project provides students with the opportunity
to explore a problem or issue of particular personal or professional interest and to address
that problem or issue through focused study and applied research under the direction of a
PURPOSE
faculty member. The project demonstrates the student's ability to synthesize and apply the
knowledge and skills acquired in his/her academic program to real-world issues and
problems. This final project affirms students' ability to think critically and creatively, to
solve practical problems, to make reasoned and ethical decisions, and to communicate
effectively.

1. The Major project is a major component of our engineering
curriculum: it is the culmination of the program of study
enabling the students to showcase the knowledge and the
skills they have acquired during the previous four years,
design a product/service of significance, and solve an open-
ended problem in engineering.
2. Each student must register to the project course related to
his or her program
3. Major Project course consists of one semester and would be
allowed to register only during the final year of study.
4. The Major Project may be initiated during the pre-final
semester but will be assessed and credits transferred only 1,2,3,4,
during the last semester of study, upon completion of all C,D,I,O
5
other degree requirements. Generally the undergraduate
major project is a team based one.
5. Each team in the major project course will consist of
maximum of 5 students.
6. Each project will be assigned a faculty, who will act as the
supervisor.
7. The project shall be driven by realistic constraints like that
related to economic, environmental, social, political, ethical,
health & safety, manufacturability and sustainability.
8. Each group must document and implement a management
structure. Group leadership roles must be clearly identified
including who has responsibility for monitoring project

interdisciplinary, with students
enrolled in different engineering degrees, or in Engineering
plus other faculties such as Management, Medical and
Health Sciences, Science and Humanities.
10. Each student team is expected to maintain a log book that
would normally be used to serve as a record of the way in
which the project progressed during the course of the
session.
11. Salient points discussed at meetings with the supervisor
(i.e., suggestions for further meetings, changes to
experimental procedures) should be recorded by the student
in order to provide a basis for subsequent work.
12. The logbook may be formally assessed;
13. The contribution of each individual team member will be
clearly identified and the weightage of this component will
be explicitly considered while assessing the work done.
14. A project report is to be submitted on the topic which will
be evaluated during the final review.
15. Assessment components will be as spelt out in the
regulations.
16. The department will announce a marking scheme for
awarding marks for the different sections of the report.
17. The project report must possess substantial technical depth
and require the students to exercise analytical, evaluation
