work. The project can be to solve a problem being faced in our
industry or it may be oriented towards designing a product. The
project can also be motivated from a research problem taken from
literature. The student has to finalize the topic of the project
by the end of sixth semester 3 credit hours will be completed in
7th semester (EE4990a) and has to complete it by the
end of the last semester. At the end of 7th semester
the students will have to submit a preliminary report of the
project and have to clear a viva voce examination.
The remaining credit hours of work should be completed in
the 8th Semester under the heading of EE4990b followed by
submission of the Project Report and Viva Voce.
