Course Objectives
1 To work on a specific technical topic in Structural Engineering and acquire the skills of written
and oral presentation.
2 To acquire writing abilities for seminars and conferences.

Particulars
Individual students are required to choose a topic of their interest from related topics to the stream of
specialization and work for three hours per week guided by faculty. The students are required to do a
moderate literature review on the topic and give a presentation on their respective topic and also engage
in discussion with the audience.
A committee consisting of at least two faculty members including supervisor (preferably specialized in
the respective stream) shall assess the presentation of the seminar and award marks to the students based
on merits of topic of presentation at end of semester. Students will have to present a seminar of not less
than fifteen minutes and not more than thirty minutes on the technical topic. Evaluation will be based
on the technical presentation and the report and also on the interaction shown during the seminar.
Each student shall submit two copies of a write up of his seminar topic. The seminar report shall not
have any plagiarised content (all sources shall be properly cited or acknowledged). One copy shall be
returned to the student after duly certifying it by the chairman of the assessing committee and the other
shall be kept in the departmental library.
Internal continuous assessment marks are awarded based on the basis of continuous internal
presentations (minimum two presentation should be done by students in front of concerned faculty duly
showing the progess of work). It is encouraged to do simulations related to the chosen topic and present
the results at the end of the semester.

Course Outcomes
The students will be able to write and present a technical report on a specific topic in Structural
1
Engineering.
The students will be able to face audience and to tackle any problem during presentation and
