EVALUATION PROCEDURE

FEBRUARY 5, 2016
THAPAR UNIVERSITY, PATIALA
DOCA OFFICE
 PROJECT SEMESTER EVALUATION

1.0 Introduction

The project semester is aimed at developing the undergraduate education programme in

engineering to include a practical training in a professional engineering setting (a company,
top educational institution, research institute etc.) hereafter referred to as host organization
as deemed appropriate. The participating organizations are selected that are either already
visiting Thapar University for placement or are forming new relationships of mutual benefit.
The project semester gives the student the opportunity to translate engineering theory into
practice in a professional engineering environment. A central requirement of the project
semester is that it must be based around significant engineering work and is principally
assessed on that basis. The technical activity should be related to both the students
engineering studies and to the host organizations activities, and it should constitute a
significant body of engineering work at the appropriate level. It should involve tasks and
methods that are more appropriately completed in a professional engineering environment
and should, where possible, make use of human and technology resources provided by the
organization. It consolidates the students prior learning and provides a context for later
research studies. The student remains a full time registered student at Thapar University
during the project semester and this activity is therefore wholly distinct from any industrial
interactions which may occur over vacation periods.
2.0 Host Organization Information

The placement cell and the faculty and staff of Thapar University usually propose host
organizations suitable for project semester and provide the departments representative with
the relevant contact details. The project semester may serve as a vehicle to generate a
relationship between the University academic staff and the host organization. Students also
can propose the host organization(s) which will be evaluated by the departments on a case
to case basis. Students can also travel abroad for the project semester and should contact
the project semester coordinator for details.

In case of multiple expressions of interest by student for a particular slot, the project
semester coordinator should arrange a meeting with the students to provide advice before
applying. The main criterion for suitability of an organization as a host is that there is should
be a qualified engineer who can act as a host mentor and assist in the student assessment
and there must be suitable technical projects for the students to work on. In some
circumstances, students may identify an appropriate host, and they should then liaise with
the project semester coordinator to formalize the process.
3.0 Assessment Details

Each student is assigned a faculty supervisor who is responsible for managing and assessment
of the project semester. This includes a Reflective Diary which is updated throughout the project
semester, an Interim Project Report, a Final Report with Learning Agreement/Outcomes and a
Final Presentation & Viva which involves the faculty Supervisor and some other members from
the department. A hard copy and electronic copy of all reports are required. The mentor from the
host organization will be asked to provide his assessment on the designated form. The faculty
supervisor is responsible for managing and performing the assessment of the project semester
experience. This should include a reflective dairy which is updated throughout the semester, two
interim project reports. A final report with
Learning Outcomes and a Final Presentation & Viva will be conducted at the end of the
project semester assessed by a formal committee constituted for the purpose.
A suggested weighting for the assessments is as follows:

4.0 Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes for the project semester are focussed on the implementation of
technical knowledge to address engineering problems, communications, group work,
professional and social ethics, sustainability, risk assessment and engineering design
practice. The semester long training provides the student with an opportunity to put into
practice the skills they have learned in classes. In addition, they will learn to enhance those
skills, obtain the perspective of a work environment and benefit from the industry mentor or
faculty supervisors experience and advice. The workplace creates learning opportunities
and it will be central to the student to interact with these possibilities. Therefore, to gain the
maximum from the project semester internship it is important to identify learning possibilities.
A key way to do this is by writing the goals of the program as the first report at the end of 4
weeks. The goals must be specific to your training and should be agreed with both your
industry mentor and faculty supervisor. Each goal must have specific and clear targets which
depict the specific actions and accomplishments that must be completed to reach the goals.

The project work undertaken as part of the project semester is diverse. As a result, the
Learning Outcomes will vary, but on completion of the module, students will have achieved
several learning outcomes from the following list:

Able to identify and use appropriate mathematical methods, numerical techniques

and software tools for application to new and ill-defined engineering problems;

Be able to integrate knowledge, handle complexity and formulate judgements with

incomplete or limited information;

Have the ability to redesign products, processes or systems in order to improve

productivity, quality, safety and other desired needs;
 Have the ability to apply design methods, processes and techniques to unfamiliar, ill-
defined problems, involving other disciplines;

Be able to design according to codes of practice and industry standards; to identify

limitations of codes of practice and the need for their application;

Have the ability to investigate and define a need and identify constraints including
health, safety and legal issues and the impact of engineering solutions in a societal
and environmental context;

Be able to make engineering judgements that take cognisance of the social,

environmental, ethical, economic, financial, institutional and commercial
considerations affecting the exercise of their engineering discipline;

Have the ability to consult and work with experts in various fields in the realisation of
a product or system;

Have knowledge and understanding of concepts from a range of areas outside

engineering;
Be able, via knowledge and understanding of group dynamics, to exercise leadership;

Be able to select and apply appropriate communication tools and write technical
papers and reports;

Be able to describe the relevant advantages and disadvantages of various

technologies to a audience, and to communicate effectively in public.

5.1 The Reflective Diary

The Reflective Diary should be maintained by the student and included as an appendix in
the final report. The Learning outcomes provide a context for the reflective entries, which
should focus on the learning achieved during the training program. Reflection is a structured
thought process that helps to learn from the experiences, a student has during the project
semester. The aim of the diary is to bridge the gap between engineering education and the
authentic workplace practice one experiences during the project semester.
What do you reflect on?

Reflection is most effective when it is applied to areas of your experience that are
memorable or significant in some way. For example, an incident, event or activity that

Went better or worse than you expected or was unexpected

Caused you to stop and think or challenged your assumptions about what you
thought would occur

In short, the best reflections tend to be about those events or incidents that challenged what
you thought before, presented a dilemma or left you with a sense of unease.
How do you reflect?

i. Descriptive Process: Write a paragraph that is straightforward account of the incident

or event or activity, including any context you deem relevant. This helps to take you
back to the event and start the reflective process.
ii. The Reflection: During this stage, you start reflecting on the event by questioning
yourself, for example
What made it memorable or what made me uneasy?
What has surprised me about this?
What has challenged the way I think or the way in thoughts things would be?
 What were my assumptions about how things would be compared to how they are?
What have I learnt about myself as a result of this event?
What have I learnt about the practice of the environment I am in?

The Outcome

All the reflections must have an outcome and these needs to be clearly articulated and
presented at the end of the reflection. Outcomes should include a new understanding, a plan
to research something or a commitment to you or others.
6.0 The Interim & Final Reports

The first interim report (approx 10 pages) should describe the engineering problem/
opportunity being addressed, defines the project objectives, set out the methodology,
identify tasks to be completed and present a plan for the completion of the project semester.

The midway report (approx 10 pages) should describe the work done, and the results (or
other outcomes) achieved to date. Major challenges and innovations should be identified
along with the remaining tasks to be completed by the end of the project.

The FINAL report will outline achievements while on project semester and incorporate the
description of all the work conducted and how this work meets the learning objectives of
the project semester. The final report (approx 80 pages) should:

Introduce the project setting and identify objectives

Describe the background to the project (ex. Prior work)

Describe the methodology and work done on the project, highlighting the areas of
greatest challenge and innovation; this description should demonstrate how the learning
outcomes are achieved
Present conclusions, findings and recommendations for further work
Include the Reflective diary as an appendix

The Final Presentation and Viva should a .ppt presentation (or equivalent) followed by a
period of questions and answers.

The suggested structure for the final report is as under:

Abstract, Acknowledgement and Table of Contents

Chap 1: Introduction: Describe the industry setting, explain why the project is important,
define project objectives

Chap 2: Background: Give context of the project, describe prior work done, summarise
state of knowledge of the topic background research

Chap 3 to N-1: Describe the work done, divide into chapter by topic or project, and describe
the methodology employed and the results obtained with as much detail as possible, use
graphical material. Use the learning outcomes when deciding what to include or exclude.

Chap N: Conclusions: Summary of project(s) in 1 to 2 pages, Main Findings (typically 5

6 bullet points), Recommendation for further work, what would be done if there was more
time?

The final report is evaluated under the following headings:

Quality of the report (layout, structure, written and graphical material, referencing): 25%
Quantity of work completed, student effort required: 25%
 Level of difficulty, innovation and understanding of work completed: 25%
Results, conclusions and learning outcomes achieved: 25%

A set of Rubrics has been developed by Department of Mechanical Engineering which

can be used to aid assessment of various aspects of project semester internship and
reports submitted by the students. These rubrics are samples and each department
may amend them to suit their assessment process.

Similarly a sample Faculty Supervisor Evaluation Form for Project Semester

assessment by Faculty mentor filled for a Mechanical Engineering student is also
provided at the end of this document.

A1.
Since I have been deputed in the engine shop, I have been tasked with
productivity improvement on the machining centres. I will review the
defects after machining of connecting rods and collect data and complete
a pareto analysis of the defects. Using this information, I will develop a
corrective action plan and implement necessary process improvement
changes to reduce the current rejection level from 2000 ppm to 100 ppm.
The preliminary data shows out of roundness as the largest contributor
to rejection and I will review the boring operation to make amends.

A2.
The other project discussed with me is on completing a MOST study to
balance the workload on the engine assembly line. This project would
require me to learn the concepts of MOST and collect data. The data will
then be analyzed to balance the work load on the line and calculate the
number of skilled and unskilled operators required for achieving the
engine assembly target of 100 engines per shift.
A3.
The third project I have planned is on designing the compound die for
blanking and forming of sheet metal components for press shop. I have
been tasked with calculating the die and punch sizes and the necessary
clearances for set up. I have also been tasked with reducing the die setup
time from current 230 minutes to 40 minutes. This will require me to use
the concepts of SMED (Single minute exchange of dies) and apply them
on the 200T Hydraulic press. I will also learn die design and calculations
to measure fore required to blank and form.
