Preamble: Learning academic writing sharpens minds, teaches students how to communicate, and
develops their thinking capacities and ability to understand others. Writing is thinking, and every
student deserves to be a strong thinker. It can also make them think more carefully about what
they write. Showing work to others can help to foster a better culture of learning and sharing
among students. It also gives students a sense of how they are contributing to the body of work
that makes up an academic subject.
Course Outcomes: The COs shown are only indicative. For each course, there can be 4 to 6 COs.

After the completion of the course the student will be able to

CO 1 Understand the principles of scientific/ academic writing

CO 2 Analyse the technique of scientific writing from the reader’s perspective

CO 3 Apply the concepts of setting expectations and laying the progression tracks
CO 4 Evaluate the merits of a title, abstract , introduction, conclusion and structuring of a
research paper
CO 5 Justify the need using a project proposal or a technical report

Student’s Diary/ Daily Log: The main purpose of writing daily diary is to cultivate the
habit of documenting and to encourage the students to search for details. It
develops the students’ thought process and reasoning abilities. The students should
record in the daily training diary the day to day account of the observations,
6
impressions, information gathered and suggestions given, if any. It should contain the
sketches & drawings related to the observations made by the students. The daily
training diary should be signed after every day by the supervisor/ in charge of the
section where the student has been working. The diary should also be shown to the
Faculty Mentor visiting the industry from time to time and got ratified on the day of his
visit. Student’s diary will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:

 Regularity in maintenance of the diary

 Adequacy & quality of information recorded

 Drawings, design, sketches and data recorded

 Thought process and recording techniques used

 Organization of the information.
