PRC305 Project Phase-I 6 CREDITS

Goal To enable the students to successfully initiate to implement the design and integrate various

components and circuits that they have learned throughout their course work

Objectives Outcome


(i) Build circuits for the design considerations (ii) Develop a PC or Microprocessor based system design (iii) Troubleshoot and diagnose various faults occurring

the circuits and software integration

After completion of the course the students are expected

to be able to:

(i) Design circuits for given specification

(ii) Integrate various sensors and final control elements to

a controller and perform necessary control actions

(iii) Troubleshoot electronic circuit or software program

Guidelines & Evaluation Scheme

Each of the students has to undertake a Project under the supervision of a teacher (max 4 students /

batch) and to submit the same following the guidelines stated below.

Language of Project Report and Viva-Voce Examination may be English

Failure to submit the Project Report or failure to appear at the Viva-voce Examination will be treated

as “Absent” in the Examination. He /she has to submit the Project Report and appear at the Viva-

Voce Examination in the subsequent years (within the time period as per University Rules).

No marks will be allotted on the Project Report unless a candidate appears at the Viva-Voce

Examination. Similarly, no marks will be allotted on Viva-Voce Examination unless a candidate

submits his/her Project Report.

Evaluation of the Project Work to be done jointly by one internal expert and one external expert with

equal weightage, i.e., average marks of the internal and external experts will be allotted to the

candidate.
