Justification
Electronics as a subject in under-graduate level provides a student a career

option. Hence, the already existing BSc- Electronics (M) programme needs
to be restructured as per the L-T-P-C format to provide the benefits of
scientific methods of teaching and learning.
The restructuring of the BSc- Electronics (M) programme will provide a
modular approach to the programme structure so that the planning and
execution of the courses forming the programme is carried out with an
approach which has been accepted to be beneficial to the students. The
contents will receive a modular and unitized treatment enabling the
teaching learning process to be completed within the stipulated time and
yet provide the students a holistic approach to Electronics and related areas
at the under graduate level.
The restructuring of the BSc- Electronics (M) programme is required to
provide the students contemporary knowledge and skills so that they have
greater opportunity to opt for a meaningful career in Electronics and
subsequently get absorbed.

Seminar & Term Paper:

Marks L T P C
25 0 1 0 1
A. Seminar
Each student shall collect information on an allotted topic related to
the subject, analyze it and formulate an approach to make a
presentation. The students shall submit a report on the allotted topic
which shall be evaluated by the concerned internal faculty. He/She
then would present a seminar on the concerned topic.
B. Term Paper -METHODOLOGY

A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in
several sources on a particular subject. The students will choose the
topic at the beginning of the session in consultation with the faculty
assigned. The progress of the paper will be monitored regularly by the
faculty. At the end of the semester the detailed paper on the topic will
be submitted to the faculty assigned. The evaluation will be done by
Board of examiners comprising of the faculties.
GUIDELINES FOR TERM PAPER

The procedure for writing a term paper may consists of the following
steps:
1. Choosing a subject
2. Finding sources of materials
3. Collecting the notes
4. Outlining the paper
5. Writing the first draft
6. Editing & preparing the final paper
1. Choosing a Subject
The subject chosen should not be too general.
2. Finding Sources of materials

a. The material sources should be not more than 10 years old
unless the nature of the paper is such that it involves
examining older writings from a historical point of view.
b. Begin by making a list of subject-headings under which you
might expect the subject to be listed.
c. The sources could be books and magazines articles, news
stories, periodicals, scientific journals etc.

Skim through sources, locating the useful material, then make good
notes of it, including quotes and information for footnotes.
a. Get facts, not just opinions. Compare the facts with author's
conclusion.
b. In research studies, notice the methods and procedures,
results & conclusions.
c. Check cross references.

a. Review notes to find main sub-divisions of the subject.
31
b. Sort the collected material again under each main division to
find sub-sections for outline so that it begins to look more
coherent and takes on a definite structure. If it does not, try
going back and sorting again for main divisions, to see if
another general pattern is possible.

Write the paper around the outline, being sure that you indicate in the
first part of the paper what its purpose is. You may follow the
following:
• statement of purpose
• main body of the paper
• statement of summary and conclusion
Avoid short, bumpy sentences and long straggling sentences with more
than one main ideas.
6. Editing & Preparing the final Paper

a. Before writing a term paper, you should ensure you have a
question which you attempt to answer in your paper. This
question should be kept in mind throughout the paper. Include
only information/ details/ analyses of relevance to the question at
hand. Sometimes, the relevance of a particular section may be
clear to you but not to your readers. To avoid this, ensure you
briefly explain the relevance of every section.
b. Read the paper to ensure that the language is not awkward, and
that it "flows" properly.
c. Check for proper spelling, phrasing and sentence construction.
d. Check for proper form on footnotes, quotes, and punctuation.
e. Check to see that quotations serve one of the following purposes:
f. Show evidence of what an author has said.
g. Avoid misrepresentation through restatement.
h. Save unnecessary writing when ideas have been well expressed
by the original author.
i. Check for proper form on tables and graphs. Be certain that any
table or graph is self-explanatory.
7. Term papers should be composed of the following sections:

1) Title page
2) Table of contents
3) Introduction
4) Review
5) Discussion & Conclusion
6) References
7) Appendix
Generally, the introduction, discussion, conclusion and bibliography
part should account for a third of the paper and the review part should
be two thirds of the paper.
Discussion
The discussion section either follows the results or may alternatively be
integrated in the results section. The section should consist of a
discussion of the results of the study focusing on the question posed in
the research paper.
32
Conclusion
The conclusion is often thought of as the easiest part of the paper but
should by no means be disregarded. There are a number of key
components which should not be omitted. These include:
a) summary of question posed
b) summary of findings
c) summary of main limitations of the study at hand
d) details of possibilities for related future research
References
From the very beginning of a research project, you should be careful to
note all details of articles gathered.
The bibliography should contain ALL references included in the paper.
References not included in the text in any form should NOT be included
in the bibliography. The key to a good bibliography is consistency.
Choose a particular convention and stick to this.
Appendix
The appendix should be used for data collected (e.g. questionnaires,
transcripts, ...) and for tables and graphs not
included in the main text due to their subsidiary nature or to space
constraints in the main text.
Assessment Scheme:
Continuous Evaluation: 40%
(Based on abstract writing, interim draft, general approach, research
orientation, readings undertaken etc.)
Final Evaluation: 60%
(Based on the organization of the paper, objectives/ problem profile/
issue outlining, comprehensiveness of the research, flow of the idea/
ideas, relevance of material used/ presented, outcomes vs. objectives,
presentation/ viva etc.)

courses undertaken by the student till this portion of progression under the
programme and have contemporary relevance. It can involve research and
development oriented works and be carried out with an eye on the needs of the
33
industry. At the beginning of the semester, the HoD must assign the supervision
of project works to the faculty members after obtaining mutual consent between
the respective supervisors and the students. It is the responsibility of the student
to approach a faculty member with a request to offer him / her a project work.
The student must inform the HoD about this communication.
The work must be defended through a presentation in front of a panel
constituted for the purpose. The panel should be constituted for the evaluation of
the reports submitted by the students as part of the project works with the HoD
as the chairperson, one internal and an external examiner (locally arranged) and
the supervisor. The report must be submitted atleast two days before the
scheduled date of presentation and checked and signed by the supervisor. The
report must have a declaration of authenticity by the student and a certificate of
execution and completion of the work given by the supervisor / HOD. Any report

Course
Code
Students individually or two at the most will carry out a detail study on a
topic and implement a related system. The study must include literature survey,
similar work done previously, proposed work, modifications to be included,
applications etc. A report is to be prepared and submitted under the guidance of a
supervisor. The report should contain design, implementation and experimental
details. The topics involved in the work should be related to the courses
undertaken by the student till this portion of progression under the programme
and have contemporary relevance. The phase II involves the complete design of
the work and the preparation of the report in continuation of the work carried out
in the previous semester. The work must be defended through a presentation in
front of a panel constituted by internal and external examiners.
GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT Work

At the beginning of the semester, the HoD must assign the
supervision of project works to the faculty members after obtaining mutual
consent between the respective supervisors and the students. It is the
responsibility of the student to approach a faculty member with a request to offer
him / her a project work. The student must inform the HoD about this
communication.
Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports,
taking into account that initial drafts should be critiqued by the faculty guide and
corrected by the student at each stage. The File is the principal means by which
the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care should be taken in
its preparation.
In general, the File should be comprehensive and include:
• A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the
project;
• A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated
goals.
• A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination
processes engaged in as part of the project;
• Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the project, or as a
future initiative directly resulting
• from the project;
42
• Any problems that have arisen that may be useful to document for future
reference.
Report Layout
The report should contain the following components:
1. Title or Cover Page. The title page should contain the following
information: Project Title; Student’s Name; Course; Year; Supervisor’s
Name.
2. Acknowledgements (optional)-Acknowledgment to any advisory or
financial assistance received in the course of work may be given.
3. Abstract- A good "Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too
descriptive but fully informative. First paragraph should state what was
accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not have to
be an entire summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the
scope and results of the project
4. Table of Contents- Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with
those in the text.
5. Introduction- Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to
the project and an outline of the structure of the rest of the report should
be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the
reader, so excessive details should be avoided.
6. Present Work and Methods- This section should aim at experimental
designs, materials used. Methodology should be mentioned in details
including modifications if any.
7. Results and Discussion- Present results, discuss and compare these
with those from other workers, etc. In writing these section, emphasis
should be given on what has been performed and achieved in the course
of the work, rather than discuss in detail what is readily available in text
books. Avoid abrupt changes in contents from section to section and
maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and closing
paragraph in every chapter could be included to aid in smooth flow. Note
that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as
possible be next to the associated text, in the same orientation as the
main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or captions. All major
equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary never
write in “point” form.
8. Conclusion- A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome
of the work is mentioned briefly.
43
9. Future prospects
10. Appendices- The Appendix contains material which is of interest to the
reader but not an integral part of the thesis and any problem that have
arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.
11. References / Bibliography
Stress should be given on latex based report generation.
ASSESSMENT OF THE PROJECT

Essentially, marking will be based on the following criteria: the quality of the
report, the technical merit of the project and the project execution. Technical
merit attempts to assess the quality and depth of the intellectual efforts put into
the project. Project execution is concerned with assessing how much work has
been put in.
execution and completion of the work given by the supervisor. Any report without
the signature of the supervisor cannot be considered for evaluation.
Evaluation:
Dissertation / report: 30%;
Work: 40%;
Presentation / Viva Voce: 30%;

details. The report may contain four chapters like introduction, present work,
experimental results and further development. It should also have a bibliography,
datasheets, annexure as required. The topics involved in the work should be
related to the courses undertaken by the student till this portion of progression
under the programme and have contemporary relevance. It can involve research
and development oriented works and be carried out with an eye on the needs of
the industry. At the beginning of the semester, the HoD must assign the
communication.

METHODOLOGY
A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in
several sources on a particular subject. The students will choose the
topic at the beginning of the session in consultation with the faculty
assigned. The progress of the paper will be monitored regularly by the
faculty. At the end of the semester the detailed paper on the topic will
be submitted to the faculty assigned. The evaluation will be done by
Board of examiners comprising of the faculties.
GUIDELINES FOR TERM PAPER

The procedure for writing a term paper may consists of the following
steps:
1. Choosing a subject
2. Finding sources of materials
6. Editing & preparing the final paper
1. Choosing a Subject
The subject chosen should not be too general.
2. Finding Sources of materials

a. The material sources should be not more than 10 years old
unless the nature of the paper is such that it involves
examining older writings from a historical point of view.
b. Begin by making a list of subject-headings under which you
might expect the subject to be listed.
c. The sources could be books and magazines articles, news
stories, periodicals, scientific journals etc.
Skim through sources, locating the useful material, then make good
notes of it, including quotes and information for footnotes.
a. Get facts, not just opinions. Compare the facts with
author's conclusion.
b. In research studies, notice the methods and procedures,
results & conclusions.
c. Check cross references.
65
a. Review notes to find main sub-divisions of the subject.
b. Sort the collected material again under each main division
to find sub-sections for outline so that it begins to look
more coherent and takes on a definite structure. If it does
not, try going back and sorting again for main divisions, to
see if another general pattern is possible.
Write the paper around the outline, being sure that you indicate in the
first part of the paper what its purpose is. You may follow the
following:
• statement of purpose
• main body of the paper
• statement of summary and conclusion
Avoid short, bumpy sentences and long straggling sentences with more
than one main ideas.
6. Editing & Preparing the final Paper

• Before writing a term paper, you should ensure you have a
question which you attempt to answer in your paper. This
question should be kept in mind throughout the paper.
Include only information/ details/ analyses of relevance to
the question at hand. Sometimes, the relevance of a
particular section may be clear to you but not to your
readers. To avoid this, ensure you briefly explain the
relevance of every section.
• Read the paper to ensure that the language is not awkward,
and that it "flows" properly.
• Check for proper spelling, phrasing and sentence
construction.
• Check for proper form on footnotes, quotes, and
punctuation.
• Check to see that quotations serve one of the following
purposes:
• Show evidence of what an author has said.
• Avoid misrepresentation through restatement.
• Save unnecessary writing when ideas have been well
expressed by the original author.
• Check for proper form on tables and graphs. Be certain
that any table or graph is self-explanatory.
7. Term papers should be composed of the following sections:

1) Title page
2) Table of contents
3) Introduction
4) Review
5) Discussion & Conclusion
6) References
7) Appendix
Generally, the introduction, discussion, conclusion and bibliography
part should account for a third of the paper and the review part should
be two thirds of the paper.
66
Discussion
The discussion section either follows the results or may alternatively be
integrated in the results section. The section should consist of a
discussion of the results of the study focusing on the question posed in
the research paper.
Conclusion
The conclusion is often thought of as the easiest part of the paper but
should by no means be disregarded. There are a number of key
components which should not be omitted. These include:
a) summary of question posed
b) summary of findings
c) summary of main limitations of the study at hand
d) details of possibilities for related future research
References
From the very beginning of a research project, you should be careful to
note all details of articles gathered.
The bibliography should contain ALL references included in the paper.
References not included in the text in any form should NOT be included
in the bibliography. The key to a good bibliography is consistency.
Choose a particular convention and stick to this.
Appendix
The appendix should be used for data collected (e.g. questionnaires,
transcripts, ...) and for tables and graphs not
included in the main text due to their subsidiary nature or to space
constraints in the main text.
Assessment Scheme:
Continuous Evaluation: 40%
(Based on abstract writing, interim draft, general approach, research
orientation, readings undertaken etc.)
Final Evaluation: 60%
(Based on the organization of the paper, objectives/ problem profile/
issue outlining, comprehensiveness of the research, flow of the idea/
ideas, relevance of material used/ presented, outcomes vs. objectives,
presentation/ viva etc.)

details. The topics involved in the work should be related to the courses
undertaken by the student till this portion of progression under the programme
and have contemporary relevance. The phase II involves the complete design of
the work and the preparation of the report in continuation of the work carried out
in the previous semester. The work must be defended through a presentation in
front of a panel constituted by internal and external examiners.
GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT Work

At the beginning of the semester, the HoD must assign the
communication.
Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports,
taking into account that initial drafts should be critiqued by the faculty guide and
corrected by the student at each stage. The File is the principal means by which
the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care should be taken in
its preparation.
In general, the File should be comprehensive and include:
• A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the
project;
• A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated
goals.
• A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination
processes engaged in as part of the project;
• Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the project, or as a
future initiative directly resulting
• from the project;
70
• Any problems that have arisen that may be useful to document for future
reference.
Report Layout
The report should contain the following components:
1. Title or Cover Page. The title page should contain the following
information: Project Title; Student’s Name; Course; Year; Supervisor’s
Name.
2. Acknowledgements (optional)-Acknowledgment to any advisory or
financial assistance received in the course of work may be given.
3. Abstract- A good "Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too
descriptive but fully informative. First paragraph should state what was
accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not have to
be an entire summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the
scope and results of the project
4. Table of Contents- Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with
those in the text.
5. Introduction- Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to
the project and an outline of the structure of the rest of the report should
be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the
reader, so excessive details should be avoided.
6. Present Work and Methods- This section should aim at experimental
designs, materials used. Methodology should be mentioned in details
including modifications if any.
7. Results and Discussion- Present results, discuss and compare these
with those from other workers, etc. In writing these section, emphasis
should be given on what has been performed and achieved in the course
of the work, rather than discuss in detail what is readily available in text
books. Avoid abrupt changes in contents from section to section and
maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and closing
paragraph in every chapter could be included to aid in smooth flow. Note
that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as
possible be next to the associated text, in the same orientation as the
main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or captions. All major
equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary never
write in “point” form.
8. Conclusion- A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome
of the work is mentioned briefly.
71
9. Future prospects
10. Appendices- The Appendix contains material which is of interest to the
reader but not an integral part of the thesis and any problem that have
arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.
11. References / Bibliography
Stress should be given on latex based report generation.
ASSESSMENT OF THE PROJECT

Essentially, marking will be based on the following criteria: the quality of the
report, the technical merit of the project and the project execution. Technical
merit attempts to assess the quality and depth of the intellectual efforts put into
the project. Project execution is concerned with assessing how much work has
been put in.
