Course Code.: PRJ 452 (3 Credits) Full marks: 100


Course title: Project II Pass marks: 45
Nature of the course: Practical (0-0-3) Time per period: 1 hour
Year, Semester: Year 4, Semester 8 Total periods: 45
Level: Bachelor Program: BECE, BEIT, BESE

1. Course Description
This course is project work that is about involving in a team to design and produce tangible
computer hardware and/or software and/or embedded product which can be executable in order to
solve a real-world problem. In the due course, students are required to apply. theoretical knowledge
obtained so far, and they are equally encouraged to learn and apply the tools and techniques
prevailing in the industry at the time. As this is teamwork, students also learn and exhibit team
building exercises.

This project work is suggested to be extended work, not compulsory though, of the Project I PRJ
360 (0-0-2). The remaining part of the larger framework conceptualized in Project I may be carried
out in this subject.

2. General Objectives
The general objectives of the course are: -
● To add to the Project I some intelligence, an extra feature/component or integration of
another sub-system etc. (for the students who are extending Project I to Project II)
● To provide practical knowledge of project undertaking by focusing on planning,
requirements elicitation, design, development and implementation of a project.
● To provide the knowledge of tools and techniques currently used in the industry while
developing a project.
● To make students able to work in a team, which also includes team building exercises.
● To help students develop necessary skills required to prepare project reports and that needed
for oral presentation of their projects.

3. Working Procedure
The project course requires students to get themselves involved in a group consisting of generally
3-4 members and work jointly in the team, on a proposed task under the direct supervision of the
faculty members assigned by their respective department or project committee. The project may
be selected by the department or project committee in consultation with the industries, and they
shall be software and or electronic hardware based. The project may be done using any
programming language or platform and it may be any type of application e.g. Scientific
Applications, Information Systems, Web Applications, Games, Simulations etc. but it must find
its practical usage in daily life, and it should be relevant, as possible, to the local industry
1
environment and its demands. Most importantly, this project should have a separate entity than
Project I.

4. Project Working Phases


The project must be started at the beginning of the semester, span throughout the semester and
finished by the end of that very semester. The project work will be continuously assessed by a
panel of examiners appointed by the college. Additionally, oral examination / viva-voce will be
conducted by internal and external examiners appointed by the college.

The entire process consists of three phases – (1) Proposal, (2) Mid-term and (3) Final. The proposal
phase shall occur in the beginning of the semester; the mid-term defense shall be organized in the
middle of semester (at least 4 weeks after the Proposal Defense); and the final presentation shall
be held at the end of the semester (at least 4 weeks after the Mid-term Defense). The marks
distribution for the phases are 30%, 30% and 40% simultaneously.

4.1 Proposal Phase


The students are required to form a team and come up with a conceptual and implementational
framework for their project work which must be documented in the form of a proposal report and
presented in front of a panel of examiners in a formal presentation organized by the department or
the project committee.

Supervisor must be assigned after the acceptance of the proposal. Supervisor may also be assigned
in the very beginning or after finalizing the title with the approval of the department or the project
committee.

Evaluation Criteria:
30% of the marks shall be based on the following criteria:

Task accomplished 20%


• Feasibility study- nature of the project, title, abstract etc.
• Objective
• Requirements analysis and specification
• Project plan - cost estimation, timeline
• Creativity, innovation
• Teamwork
Documentation 10%
• Report format and layout (refer to the Project Guideline)

4.2 Mid-term Phase


Students are required to present the progress of the project work, and the amount of progress should
in general be 60% or more. Students must have finished the design phase including the overall
system/architectural design and validation scheme. The project must also be in the

2
implementational phase, and the preliminary results must have been seen during this phase of
project progress.

A mid-term defense shall be organized by the department or the project committee, where a panel
of examiners will evaluate the project. Students must have obtained written consent of their
supervisor for appearing in the mid-term defense.

Evaluation Criteria:
30% of total mark shall be based on the following criteria:

Task accomplished 20%


• Level of proposal-feedback incorporated
• System/architectural design
• Progress/depth of project work
• Validation criteria
• Group/team effort
Documentation 10%
• Report organization
• Completeness and consistency of the report
• Organization and analysis of data and results

4.2 Final Phase


All students must have finished all phases of their project work including requirements analysis,
design, coding, testing by the time of the final project presentation. Students must come up with a
visible output of the product that they have developed, and they should demonstrate them during
the oral defense. A panel of examiners (comprised of an expert from industry) shall examine the
project work.

Students must have obtained written consent of their supervisor in order to appear in the final
defense.

Evaluation:
40% of total mark shall be based on the following criteria:

Task accomplished 30%


• Contribution in the entire work
• Completeness of the work,
• Analysis and design, tools and techniques used
Performance during presentation
Project demonstration and Viva-voce
Documentation 10%
• Final project report – layout and format (see the Project Guidelines)

3
Hard-cover bound Black Book
After successfully completing the final defense, students need to prepare the hard-cover bound
black book. One copy shall be submitted to the department, a copy to the university and keep a
copy to each of the team members. See the Project Guidelines for details.

Soft-copy submission
Apart from the black book submission, students must also submit a soft copy in university/college
specified format (e.g. .pdf, .docx, latex etc.)

5. Reference / Project Guideline

Students must follow the Project Guidelines provided by the University / College.
