Course Title: SEMINAR

Pre-requisites: Nil

Objective:

To assess the debating capability of the student to present a technical topic. Also to impart training to

a student to face audience and present his/her ideas and thus creating self esteem and courage that

are essential for an engineer.

Individual students are required to choose a topic of their interest preferably from outside the M.Tech

syllabus and give a seminar on that topic about 45 minutes. A committee consisting of at least three

faculty members shall assess the presentation of the seminar and award marks to the students based

on merits of topic of presentation. Each student shall submit two copies of a write up of the seminar

topic. One copy shall be returned to the student after duly certifying it by the chairman of the

assessing committee and the other will be kept in the departmental library. Internal continuous

assessment marks are awarded based on the relevance of the topic, presentation skill, quality of the

report and participation.

Course outcome:

The students who successfully complete this course will have the capability to

Understand technical articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences;

Analyze and present advanced topics in computer integrated manufacturing.

Course Title: MASTERS RESEARCH PROJECT (PHASE – I)

Pre-requisites: Nil

Objective:

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.

Syllabus:

The project work can be a design project / experimental /hardware project and or computer simulation

project on signal processing or any of the topics related with signal processing stream. The project

work is allotted individually on different topics. The students shall be encouraged to do their project

work in the parent institute itself. If found essential, they may be permitted to continue their project

outside the parent institute subject to the conditions in clause 10 of M.Tech regulations. Department

will constitute an Evaluation Committee to review the project work. The Evaluation committee

consists of at least three faculty members of which internal guide and another expert in the specified

area of the project shall be two essential members.

The student is required to undertake the masters research project phase-I during the third semester and

the same is continued in the 4th semester.(Phase-II). Phase-I consists of preliminary thesis work, two

reviews of the work and the submission of preliminary report. First review would highlight the topic,

objectives, methodology and expected results. Second review evaluates the progress of the work,

preliminary report and scope of the work which is to be completed in the 4th semester.

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.

Syllabus:

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

Before the end of the fourth semester, there will be two reviews, one at middle of the fourth semester

and other towards the end. In the first review, progress of the project work done is to be assessed. In

the second review, the complete assessment (quality, quantum and authenticity) of the Thesis is to be

evaluated. Both the reviews should be conducted by guide and Evaluation committee. This would be

a pre qualifying exercise for the students for getting approval for the submission of the thesis. 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.
