Part -1:

Aim

To assess the student ability to apply research methods in a real scenario that will produce a high quality literature review, data analysis and approach to specific technical project.

Objective

To evaluate the skill acquisition in research methodology techniques, in terms of source and critically review literature, range of data analysis methods and approaches relevant to the chosen project topic.

A. Knowledge and understanding of the topic
- Demonstrate knowledge of acquisition of information
- Demonstrate appropriate application of module knowledge
- Demonstrate wider reading and comprehension of topic

B. Application and analysis of the topic
- Define a problem and identify constraints & use creativity and innovation to customer and end users.
- Understanding of the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development.
- Understanding the needs for high level professional and ethical conduct in engineering with knowledge based contexts.
- Ability to use and apply information from technical literature and awareness of quality issues and their application to continuous improvement.

C. The structure in terms of logic and coherence

Submissions should have a clear start and a clear end. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped.

D. The use of relevant work examples and/or examples gained from further reading

Suggestions for further reading are contained within the course work and indicated at the end of the course work. These reading lists are not exhaustive and candidates are encouraged to read further and reference at the end of the course work using CCE Harvard style of referencing.

Task:

A critical study report of the project work undertaken and done during RM stage has to be presented in this coursework and shall be called the critical study report. This report should have a clear start beginning with the introduction to the project and end at the pre-design stage. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped. Students are advised to follow the instructions given below to present the Critical Study Report.

Critical Study Report should be structured and submitted in the order as given below:
1. 2 cover sheets - front page
2. 1st page - Details of the Project (as per template given in page 4)
3. Turnitin report
4. Project Risk Assessment form
5. Formal Project Proposal (Approved)
6. Abstract
7. Table of contents
8. List of Figures
9. List of Tables
10. List of Symbols
11. Chapter 1: Introduction
12. Chapter 2: Literature review
13. Chapter 3: Data Analysis/ Pre-Design
14. Conclusion
15. Future work to be carried out in Technical Project.
16. Gantt Chart
17. References
All the contents taken from the external sources such as internet, journals and text books must be compulsorily cited and the corresponding references should be included in the reference page. Text contents without proper citation will be considered as plagiarism and students may need to face disciplinary action as per college policy.

Students are expected to present the following contents under each heading: Abstract
The Abstract may contain description of the topic, need of the present study, important applications of the topic, brief description about previous literatures, predesign, future work to be carried out in Technical Project and conclusions. The word count is limited to 250.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The introduction may contain overall view of the topic, Identification of the need, Problem description, Objectives, Scope, Value & Importance of the research and feasibility study.

The student may provide introduction to the research problems pertaining to the project with detailed explanation.

Chapter 2: Literature review

The students are expected to critically evaluate minimum of five previous literatures pertaining to their project topic that contain key finding of previous authors such as methodology adopted, parameters used, results obtained and important conclusions along with shortcomings / gap areas. In text citation must be made without fail. The in text citation and referencing should be in CCE Harvard referencing style. This chapter should precisely link the present study to the collected literature with gap areas identified. Finally a chapter summary may be presented.

Chapter 3: Data Analysis / Pre-Design

Students may provide statistical tools planned to use in Technical Project (TP), 2-D, 3-D drawings, Proposed model/ circuit diagram, other data interpretations using graphs, surveys results, case studies, research plans, activity flow charts, Gantt charts etc. The outcome of this chapter would be useful to do the experimentation, fabrication and associated detailed analysis of the research problem during TP stage. Finally a chapter summary may be presented.

Conclusion & Future work:

The conclusion made in the report should correlate with the aims and objectives of the project. Future works planned for Technical Project stage are to be mentioned.
