Capstone Project - Execution and Report Writing Course Code: 22060 Program Name _: All Branches of Diploma in Engineering and Technology. Program Code + CE/CR/CS/CH/CM/CO/F/CW/DE/ES/EN/EQUET/EX/IE/ MU/EE/EP/EU/IS/IC/AE/FG/ME/PG/PT/DC/TX/TC Semester : Sixth Course Title : Capstone Project — Execution & Report Writing Course Code : B00 1. RATIONALE This course on ‘Capstone Project-Execution and Report Writing’ is the continuation of the previous semester course on ‘Capstone Project-Planning’. So, in this semester, the students are to implement the detailed Capstone Project Plan, which they have prepared in the preceding semester. Therefore, to successfully complete this Capstone Project by the end of this semester, it is necessary to incorporate the suggestions of the guide/examiners of the preceding semester. Hence, it is of utmost importance for the student to again re-capitulate and comprehend the importance, concept and need of the ‘Capstone Projects’ which are well explained in the ‘Capstone Project-Planning’ course in the previous semester Often, the jobs in the industry, which the diploma holders will come across when they join it and will be in the form of small or large projects. Such projects are generally an integration of the various types of skills which cut across the three major domains of learning i.e. cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain which must have acquired during their journey from first semester to the last semester. Hence, it is essential that students are also given an opportunity to do large projects which require more time compared to the micro- projects in order to develop and integrate the highly essential industry oriented competencies and associated skills in the students. Therefore, in this semester the ‘Capstone Project — Execution and Report Writing’ will continue to integrate some more additional competencies along with those in the previous semester and hence build up greater confidence to face such situations in the world of work 2. COMPETENCY The course should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop the required course outcomes (COs) so that students will acquire following competency needed by the industry: Implement the Capstone Project Plan to solve the identified problem/task faced by industry/user related to the concerned occupation by integrating the various types of skills acquired during the programme. 3. COURSE OUTCOMES (COs) Depending upon the nature of the projects undertaken, the following could be some of the major course outcomes that could be attained, althongh, in case of some projects few of the following course outcomes may not be applicable. a) Implement the planned activity individually and/or as team. b) Select, collect and use required information/knowledge to solve the identified problem, ©) Take appropriate decisions based on collected and analysed information. 4) Ensure quality in product. ©) Incorporate energy and environment conservation principles. 1) Consider the ethical issues related to the project (if there are any), 2) Assess the impact of the project on society (if there is any). hy Communicate effectively and confidently as a member and leader of team, MSBTE ~ Final Copy Dt. 24.09.2019 Page 1of8 6Capstone Project ~ Execution and Report Writing Course Code: 22060 i) Prepare project report after performing due plagiarism check using appropriate tools 4.

Course details As the implementation of the Capstone project progresses and which has to be submitted at the end of project work, one of the outputs of this course is a detailed Project Report that is continuously prepared by the student. There will also be regular progressive assessment by the teacher as per the criteria no 7 on the basis of rubrics mentioned in Appendix —C and in the formats as shown in Appendix-B and also for the end-of-semester examination. 5.1 Guidelines for Capstone Project-Execution and Report Writing a) The students would like to revise the “Capstone Project - Plan’ based on the feedback received in the fifth semester examination, b) This revised ‘Capstone Project — Plan’ would be again approved by the project guide As soon as the revised plan is approved by the teacher, the student will begin to work according to it and would also continue to maintain a dated ‘Project Diary? for the whole semester. This is a sort of a ‘weekly diary’ indicating all the activities conducted by the student every week in the semester to complete the project. This “Project Diary’ should be got signed by the teacher at regular intervals for progressive assessment. If this is maintained sincerely and truthfully by the student, it will be very helpful in compiling the Final Project Report at the end of the semester by him/her, 6. Project report During the final Semester, the student will prepare a ‘Project Report’ in continuation with the activities conducted in fifth semester under Project Planning having following sub-titles: Suggested contents of the Project report * Title page (with name of team members and mentor teacher) * Certificate (in the Format given in this document as annexure A ) * Acknowledgements (this may need revision at the end of the final semester) Abstract (in one paragraph not more than 150 words) * Content Page Chapters 1, Chapter-1 Introduction (background of the Industry or User based Problem/Task) 2.

ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT WORK Project work has two components, first is Progressive Assessment (PA), while another is End ‘Semester Examination (ESE). ve Assessment (PA) Guidelines and Criteria supposed to carry out this assessment. It is a continuous process, during which for developing desired qualities in the students, faculty should orally give informal feedback to students about their performance and interpersonal behaviour while guiding them on their project work every week. Following criteria should be considered while assessing students informally or formally during different stages of the project work. The following factors need consideration for both Capstone Project-Planning and Capstone Project-Execution and Report Writing. a) Students should be assessed during the project work so that students can also get feedback for further improvement b) It should be kept in mind that project work is mainly experiential learning and it is not the research work, so emphasis should be on work based learning or learning from experience and development of attitudes and skills as mentioned in course outcomes So focus of assessment should also be on learning from the process of completing project work rather than on novelty or innovation in the project work. ©) For progressive assessment at the end, students should be asked to give the power point presentation before group of teachers and junior students (so that junior students may also get awareness about the major project work they have to carry out in future) d) The students would be awarded marks for their efforts (In some cases it may happen that due to some reasons such as unavailability of some material or component or some other resources, students may not be able to complete the project, but they have tried their best, in such cases students would be given appropriate marks if they have done enough efforts.) ¢) The students would not be awarded marks if they have completed the project by getting done the work from market or some professionals (taking some help and guidance is different as compared to getting the work or maximum part of the work completed from others on payment basis). {) Originality of the report (written in own words) would be given more importance. 2) The Project Guide will assure the quality of project done by his group.

SPECIAL TEACHING STRETAGIES (If any) a) Teacher's should not spoon feed the students and let them try on their own at different stages of the project work and even first let them strive hard and only when efforts of students have failed, then teacher should guide them. Guidance should be in initially in the form of clues or hints rather than complete explanation, detailed explanation should be given only when students are not able to work based on clues/hints, The role of teacher should be limited to guide and facilitator b) Teachers should help students in selecting a topic which is relevant and challenging (but within capacity) for students according to their abilities. ©) Teachers should come out of the mindset that there should be compulsorily some MSBTE — Final Copy Dt. 24.09.2019 innovation and novelty in the project work. Because as discussed earlier, project is mainly opportunity for work based or experiential learning, the aim of which is to develop higher order cognitive skills and attitudes. Project at diploma level is not research or innovation. ‘the main thing teachers have to ensure is that students choose a task or problem for their project work which is challenging hépatcoriling, to their capability i.e. a task which they can complete on their owr/Without getting it done from market. : Page 40f8 aCapstone Project ~ Execution and Report Writing Course Code: 22060 d) Teachers should ensure that students prepare the project plan in as much detail as possible, since this way only they would learn the importance of planning and how to do the detail planning. Teachers should allow students to proceed ahead only when they have detailed plan with them. e) Teachers should motivate students to maintain project document project diary and project report. They should explain benefits of these activities to students and also train them in these activities, because most of them may be doing this first time. {) Project Guide should ensure that students submit chapter of report one by one to him/her as per schedule and should check the content of the chapters. The Project guide should monitor that schedule is maintained and report writing is not left till last few weeks. It should not be a problem since first three chapters of the report should have been written in fifth semester itself. g) Teachers should also encourage students to openly discuss their weaknesses and shortcomings .Teachers should develop confidence in students that admitting mistakes and weaknesses helps in improving them. hh) Teachers should continuously discuss with students about working of group and progress in the project and from this discussion should identify their personal qualities (both strengths and weaknesses) and suggest to them ways for improving those qualities, i) Internal as well as extemal examiners should reward students for original work and efforts of students even if they are not fully successful or not able to complete the project in comparison to those students who have taken paid help from others to complete their project.
