AKTU Project – I (BCH753) Syllabus PDF – B.Tech 4th Year

Course Objectives

Student is able to apply their theoretical and practical knowledge during the curriculum and solve the problem in chemical engineering

Course Outcome: Students are expected to:

CO-1: demonstrate a sound technical knowledge of their selected project topic.

CO-2: undertake problem identification, formulation and solution.

CO-3: design engineering solutions to complex problems utilising a systems approach.

CO-4: do thermodynamic feasibility, material and energy balance of process block diagram CO-5design and optimize major equipment’s in the selected project CO-6: demonstrate the skills, knowledge, and attitudes of a professional engineer.

Course Details The student can also choose a state-of-the-art problem of their own interest based on the recent trends in Chemical Engineering / Science in consultation with the guide. They shall work on the designated problem either individually or in groups (no of students in groups decides by faculty).

During the Project-I the students are required to:

1. Define the project problem.
2. Write a project proposal including concise introduction of latest published papers in the following order– a. Project title b. Introduction c. Origin of the problem d. Literature review of research and development at national & international level e. Significance of the problem f. Objective g. Methodology h. Details of collaboration (if any)
3. Carry out preliminary investigations if any or product design or process design etc.
4. Summarize the results (if any). The student is required to prepare a month wise work plan (for both semesters) immediately after the allotment of the project and the department is required to maintain a progress report of every student/project. The progress report should reflect monthly progress done by the student as per the work plan. The progress report is to be duly signed by the respective project guide by giving the remarks/marks/grades etc. on the periodic progress done by the student should submit the project report at the end of respective terms to the examiners as a supporting document for evaluation. Every student will be examined orally based on the topic of his/her project and relevant area to evaluate his understanding of the problem and the progress made by the student during the term. Students should submit a neatly typed and spiral bound research proposal at the end of the first term in the following format. Font: Times New Roman, Font size: 12, Headings: 14, Spacing: 1.5, typed on one side of the A4 size paper with proportionate diagrams, figures, graphs, photographs, tables etc. Referencing style: 1. Guo J. X. and Gray D. G., Chiroptical behaviour of (acetyl)(ethyl)cellulose liquid-crystalline solutions in chloroform, Macromolecules, 22, (1989), 2086. (Reference numbers should be mentioned in the main text as a superscript) The proposal should contain: 24 Page 1: The cover page - should mention: Project title, Name of the student, Name of the guide, Exam seat number and Year. Page 2: Certificate Page 3: Index Page 4 onwards: Research proposal (as above), experimental investigation details and result if any. Last page: References The department should prepare a template of the format of the project report and supply it to the students so as to maintain the uniformity in the project reports. Students are encouraged to participate and present their project work in various events, competitions, conferences and seminars etc. in consultation with their guide. Note: The project guides are required to educate the students about antiplagiarism policy of AKTU and apply the same while doing the project.
