Course Objectives
➢ To develop skills in doing literature survey, technical presentation and report preparation
➢ To enable project identification and execution of preliminary works on final semester
project

Course Plan: Each student shall identify a topic of current relevance in his/her branch of
engineering, get approval of faculty concerned, collect sufficient literature on the topic, study it
thoroughly, prepare own report and present in the class.

Course Outcomes [COs]: After successful completion of the course, the students will be able
to:

Identify academic documents from the literature which are related to her/his areas of
CO1
interest (Cognitive knowledge level: Apply).
Read and apprehend an academic document from the literature which is related to
CO2
her/ his areas of interest (Cognitive knowledge level: Analyze).
Prepare a presentation about an academic document (Cognitive knowledge
CO3
level: Create).
Give a presentation about an academic document (Cognitive knowledge level:
CO4
Apply).

CO5 Prepare a technical report (Cognitive knowledge level: Create).

Choosing a seminar topic: The topic for a UG seminar should be current and broad
based rather than a very specific research work. It's advisable to choose a topic for the
Seminar to be closely linked to the final year project area. Every member of the project
team could choose or be assigned Seminar topics that covers various aspects linked to
the Project area.
