1What is final year Project? It is one of the subjects of four year Bachelors degree in Engineering. Here a student needs to form a group and plan and complete a work (system design, development, study, simulations, survey, feasibility study, economic analysis, detailed design, etc according to individual department) under the supervision of a supervisor. The group needs to prepare written reports and give oral presentation. Each member of the group will be evaluated individually. 2Procedure 2.1 Formation of Group Each group should consist of 3-4 students and they should have equal participation. The group should inform to Department with written application to access the facilities provided by college. 2.2 Proposal Defense The group should do a number of literature reviews and select a topic for the final year Project. The group should submit a proposal to the Department within stipulated timeframe provided by the Department and should give oral defense too. 2.3 Mid-Term Defense The group should prepare a written report under the guideline within the timeframe provided by the Department. The group should give oral presentation and face viva to supervisor and his committee. 2.4 Final defense The group should prepare a written report under the guideline and deadline provided by the Department.

4 What a Proposal Report should contain? Why are you doing this project? What you will be doing? How will you be doing it? Who will be doing it? Where will it be done? How long will it take? How much will it cost?

5 Proposal Report Organizations Abstract This is the most important part of the proposal because it is the reviewers first impression. Even though it appears at first, write it at last because it is the summary of the proposal. Abstract is a concise description of project covering objectives, need, methodology and dissemination plans. It should identify the expected outcomes of the project. An ideal abstract should be less than 750 words and fit in one page. Problem Statement Well-documented description of the problem to be addressed and what it is important. Objectives Indicate the expected outcomes of the project, preferably in measurable terms. This shows what you will do, for whom, by how much and by when. When the project is completed, you will be able to evaluate it and determine whether the project succeeded or not in achieving its objectives. Identify short-term and long-term objectives. Literature Review In this section you should describe literature that you studied before making final decision about doing this project work. You should be able to list similar work that have already been done and the outcome of those works. References should be given while citing the algorithms, principles, theories, works, results outcome etc.

Feasibility Study While doing the project various unexpected problems may arise. So you should be able to predict them. Feasibility study is about the evaluation of sustainability of your project from the different prospect of cost, technology and equipment, academic knowledge and time. Methodology It is the critical part of the proposal and is the longest part and worth the most points. It is a plan of action for how the objectives will be achieved. This section usually starts with a description of the overall approach, its relevance, effectiveness and innovativeness. Then it gives details on methodology, the population being addressed and how anticipated problems will be managed. Evaluation Describes the means by which the department will know if the project has accomplished its objectives or not. It may also describe plans for collecting additional information to improve the project. What is the purpose of evaluation, what data will be collected, how will it be analyzed and how will the results be reported? Plans for disseminating products and findings to the sponsor and t the community at large can also be described in this section. How will the results of this program be disseminated? Time Table Describe how long specific tasks or components of the project will take. Include graphical chart representation. Cost Estimation Show the overall cost of the project.
