CH410PRJ: PROJECT


Contents This stage will include comprehensive report on literature survey, design and fabrication of

experimental set up and/or development of model, relevant computer programs and the plan for

stage III. Students may undertake studies in application chemical engineering knowledge for manufacturing

project, synthesis, design and development, experimental work, testing on the product or system,

generation of new ideas and concept, modification in the existing process/system, development of

computer programs, solutions, modeling and simulation related to the subject. Topics of

interdisciplinary nature may also be taken up. A detailed literature survey is expected to be carried

out as a part of this work. The group of students is required to choose the topic in consultation with

the Guide. A technical report is required to be submitted at the end of the term and a presentation made based on the same. Modern audio-visual techniques may be used at the time of presentation.
