1. Objective:-

The objective of the project work is to help the student develop ability to apply the engineering and technological concepts, tools and techniques to study and attempt to solve any engineering or system problem. Stress is given on quality of training for development of professional competence.

2. Prerequisite:-

Students pursuing Section B Examination can take up project work only after securing minimum grade ‘C’ in 5 (five) subjects in an engineering branch of Section B. Students are required to register for project work by filling the application form, as given at Appendix I, along with a demand draft of Rs. 3000.00 (US $ 200 in case of overseas students) in favour of ‘The Institution of Engineers (India)’ payable at Kolkata and return it to the headquarters of the Institution within the stipulated date.

3. Project Guide:-

On receipt of the application for project work with the prescribed fee, a letter giving the name and address of the project guide shall be issued to the students by the headquarters of the Institution. After receipt of the letter from the Institution, students are expected to contact the project guide within a week for their project work, carrying with them their Identity Card. In case designated project guide is not available due to any reason or change of address of the project guide or the student, thus affecting the facility of contact between them, the student is expected to contact the Chairman of the State/ Local Centre to which he is attached for an alternate project guide. The Chairman of State/Local Centre, after being satisfied with the reason stated by the student, would allot him the alternate project guide within the jurisdiction of his State/ Local Centre, under intimation to the Director (EEA) at headquarters. A ‘Fellow’ or a ‘Member’ of the Institution is only eligible to act as project guide. The project guide shall be responsible for guidance in preparing synopsis of the project, project report and monitoring the progress of work. He will also be responsible for guidance regarding problem formulation and methodology of the project selected by the student. In addition, the project guide shall evaluate the project work of the student.

4. Types of Project Work:-

The project work may be from any of the following types:

a) Comprehensive case study (covering any structure, industry or system);
b) Field-oriented analysis and/or design problems (such as design of engineering structures, industrial/engineering processes and systems);
c) Management-oriented study (such as evaluation, estimation, optimization, planning, and management, etc.);
d) Repair and maintenance of equipment, structures, etc.;
e) Any other project work a project guide may wish to allot to the student.

5. Synopsis of the Project:-

Synopsis of the project should be prepared in consultation with the project guide as per the format given in Appendix II. The synopsis should clearly state the objective and methodology of the proposed project to be undertaken. It should have full detail of the rationale, sampling instrument to be used, limitations, if any, and future direction of further study, etc as asked in the format. The synopsis of the project shall be approved by the Project Guide. Approved copy of the synopsis should be a part of the project report.
