Electronics and Communication Engineering 6th

1. RATIONALE: The course in fifth semester, "Electronics Engineering Project-I",was

designed with the aim to motivate the students to implement innovative electronic
solutions that address real-world problems or enhance existing systems. Students were
directed to identify solution of the problem of real/ live problems of the
Industry/Govt./NGO/ MSME/Rural Sector or work on an innovative idea having the
potential of a Startup to help better our eco system. The project aims to leverage the
power of electronics to address a specific need or challenge, contributing to
technological innovation and societal improvement.

To achieve solution, brainstorming has to done by group of students for possible

alternative designs by preparing flow chart, block diagram, its tentative electronic
circuit and related software coding etc. This project work should be desirable
comprising of hardware and software both.

In this sixth semester students have to work for optimum hardware and software
implementation of their selected project work in fifth semester.

12. Study of intellectual property rights for patenting the project.

9. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES:

Project Guide should go through the work done in fifth semester. Students have to perform
remaining work which was left in semester fifth. In every weekly turn of project, guide
should meet with all groups individually and evaluate their progress as per progressive
assessment scheme. There should be two presentation like seminars with all students of
4th semester and all faculties .After presentation there must be an active interaction
related to project .One presentation should kept in mid way of term and other
presentation should kept at the time of submission. Mentor can arrange One day expert
lecture on SSIP project to create awareness among students.

Assessment of Project work:

Guide should assess the project work in every weekly turn. Student group should give
progress plan/timeline of project work to be done in first turn to their respective guide.
Guide will monitor their progress as per timeline given by student. Every group should give
two presentations each of 20 marks and documentation/project report is of 10 marks
which comprises total 50 marks of Continuous assessment (CA).
Guide should maintain progress plan / weekly progress report of each group in following
format:
