COURSE OUTLINE
FALL SEMESTER 2011
PROJECT
MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY
B.TECH(PASS) PROGRAM
This is a non-examination based course. Each student is required to work on a project within his
or her chosen field of specialization. The entire project activity, starting from identification to the
final stage of submission of report is to be completed within one quarter. The course carries a
workload of 3 credit hours (standard). The nature of the course ranges from a purely field
oriented activity at the one end to a theoretical, scholarly thesis at the other. The project may be
based either on field research or desk research, or both. Generally, field research requires heavier
commitment of time and tasks to be accomplished at occasions that might clash with the normal
office work schedule of students. Desk research on the other hand is relatively easier and time
commitments may be scheduled by the student rather independently. Some examples of project
topics are shown here:-
Companies.
Operating in Pakistan.
10. Current Tax Structure and Its Impact on Accounting for Depreciation.
11. The Impact of the 1995-96 Budget on the Private Sector.
The students are at liberty to choose an appropriate project topic with the approval of the
Teacher. The student performance is measured in terms of the progress made by the student on
project activities during the quarter and by the quality of the final report. Students will submit
one draft copy of the report and three copies of the final report. One copy of the final report will
be returned to the student after grading, while the other two copies will be retained for School
records.
The teacher's role in this course will be to guide the students for accomplishing the goals and to
advise them on research methods and on writing professional quality final report. Much of this
guidance will be individualized, therefore, students may meet the teacher by individual
appointments for review of weekly progress and for seeking guidance.
