 ABSTRACT
The abstract must include sufficient information for examiners to judge the
nature and significance of the topic, the adequacy of the investigative strategy, the
nature of the results, and the conclusions. The abstract should summarize the
substantive results of the work and not merely list topics to be discussed. An abstract
is an outline summary of your seminar. It should have an intro, body, and conclusion.
It is a well-developed paragraph, should be exact in wording, and must be
understandable to a wide audience. Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.
Abstracts highlight major points of your seminar report and explain why it is
important; what your purpose was, what you learned, and what you concluded.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The purpose of the acknowledgments page is to show appreciation to those
who contributed in conducting tasks and duties related to the report writing.
Therefore when writing the acknowledgments page you should carefully
consider everyone who helped during the process and show appreciation in the order
of relevance. In this regard, it is suitable to show appreciation in a brief manner
instead of using strong emotional phrases. In this part of your work, it is normal to
use personal pronouns like “I, my, me” while in the rest of the paper this articulation
is not recommended.
 Please find below the list of the persons you should acknowledge: 
1. Guides (main and second)
2. Academic staff in your department
3. Technical staff
4. Academic staff
5. Institutions and organization
6. Companies
7. Family and friends

TITLE OF SUBJECT SEMINAR

1 Introduction
Introductions and conclusions play a special role, and they frequently demand much
of your attention as a writer. A good introduction should identify your topic, provide
essential context, and indicate your particular focus in the essay. It also needs to engage
your readers’ interest. A strong conclusion will provide a sense of closure to the essay
while again placing your concepts in a somewhat wider context. It will also, in some
instances, add a stimulus to further thought. Since no two topics are the same, no single
formula will automatically generate an introduction and conclusion for you. But the
following guidelines will help you to construct a suitable beginning and end for your
topic.
1. Find a startling statistic that illustrates the seriousness of the problem you will
address.
2. Mention a common misperception that your topic will argue against.
3. Give some background information necessary for understanding the topic.
4. Use a brief narrative or anecdote that exemplifies your reason for choosing the topic.
5. Explain key scientific concepts and refer to relevant literature. Lead up to your
contribution or intervention.
6. Define a term that is possibly unfamiliar to your audience but is central to
understanding the topic.

2 Literature Survey
It focuses on a specific topic of interest to you and includes a critical analysis of the
relationship among different works, and relating this research to your work. A literature
review is a survey of scholarly sources that provides an overview of a particular topic.
Literature reviews are a collection of the most relevant and significant publications
regarding that topic to provide a comprehensive look at what has been said on the topic
and by whom. The basic components of a literature review include:
 a description of the publication
 a summary of the publication’s main points;
 a discussion of gaps in research;
 an evaluation of the publication’s contribution to the topic.

 Title of Subject Seminar

While writing about the contributions of a specific paper to the selected topic please
address the work by authors rather than paper title. The reference to the paper must be
made as First Author et al. [Reference number]. (et al. means “and others” hence, should
be used only while referring to the paper of more than one authors)
For example;
Andrew S. Denney et al. [1] have explained how to effectively write a literature review as
a critical tool for the success of an academic report. The work had given a brief idea
about; Importance of the literature review, the contents, the focus, the sources and their
appropriateness, importance of finding gaps and generating ideas.
Hannah Snyder [2] has given guidelines for conducting a literature review by considering
four phases namely; designing the review, conducting the review, analysis, and writing

3 Learning Objectives
Mention with what intention the seminar topic was selected clearly. What you wanted to
learn, demonstrate, analyze, and comprehend in very specific lines. It is advised to write
such 3-4 learning objectives only under the entitled seminar topic.

4 Report writing
 Project reports should be typed neatly only on one side of the paper with 1.5 or
double line spacing on an A4 size bond paper (210 x 297 mm). The margins
should be Left – 1.25″, Right – 1″, Top and Bottom – 0.75″.
 Before taking the final printout, the approval of the concerned guide(s) is
mandatory, and suggested corrections, if any, must be incorporated.
 The figures and tables must be numbered section-wise e.g.:

Figure. 4.1 IC Engine

Table 4.1 Primitive flow table

Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Heading 4

 Only SI units are to be used in the report.

 Important equations must be numbered in decimal form and right-justified e.g.
E = mc
2
… Eq. 4.1
 The report should be brief and include descriptions of work carried out by others
only to the minimum extent necessary. Verbatim reproduction of material
available elsewhere should be strictly avoided. Where short excerpts from
published work are desired to be included, they should be within quotation marks
appropriately referenced.
 Proper attention is to be paid not only to the technical contents but also to the
organization of the report and clarity of the expression. Due care should be taken
to avoid spelling and typing errors. The student should note that report-write-up
forms the important component in the overall evaluation of the seminar.

9 Learning Outcomes
The following list of items can be used to self-evaluate a list of intended learning
outcomes:
 Learning outcomes are clearly stated, in clear and unambiguous language.
 All learning outcomes indicate what the student learned.
 The learning outcome is significant and meaningful in the long term.
 All intended learning outcomes can be assessed effectively – you can envision
assessment tasks able to achieve this.
 Learning outcomes are aligned to the level of study, engineering field, and values.

10 Conclusions
Conclusions should contain the summary of the work carried, contributions if any, their
utility along with the scope for further work.
