 UCE799: PROJECT SEMESTER
L T P Cr
0 0 0 15
Course Objective: The objective of the six month industrial training is to expose the final year civil
engineering students to the competency, knowledge and skills needed to succeed at the workplace. By
undergoing industrial training, they will be able to relate the theory that they learnt and applied them
practically. Industrial Training is essential for students to develop the practical skills that they will need to
be effective professional engineers.
Course Introduction: The project semester is aimed at developing the undergraduate education
programme in engineering to include a practical training in a professional engineering setting (a company,
top educational institution, research institute etc.) hereafter referred to as host “organization” as deemed
appropriate. The participating organizations are selected that are either already visiting Thapar University
for placement or are forming new relationships of mutual benefit. The project semester gives the student
the opportunity to translate engineering theory into practice in a professional engineering environment. A
central requirement of the project semester is that it must be based around significant engineering work and
is principally assessed on that basis. The technical activity should be related to both the student’s
engineering studies and to the host organization’s activities, and it should constitute a significant body of
engineering work at the appropriate level. It should involve tasks and methods that are more appropriately
completed in a professional engineering environment and should, where possible, make use of human and
technology resources provided by the organization. It consolidates the student’s prior learning and provides
a context for later research studies.
The student remains a full time registered student at ThaparInstitute during the project semester and this
activity is therefore wholly distinct from any industrial interactions which may occur over vacation periods.
Course learning Outcomes:
The project work undertaken as part of the project semester is diverse. As a result, the Learning Outcomes
will vary, but on completion of the module, students will have achieved several learning outcomes from
the following list:
1. Able to identify and use appropriate mathematical methods, numerical techniques and software
tools for application to new and ill-defined engineering problems;
2. Be able to integrate knowledge, handle complexity and formulate judgements with incomplete or
limited information;
3. Have the ability to redesign products, processes or systems in order to improve productivity, quality,
safety and other desired needs;
4. Have the ability to apply design methods, processes and techniques to unfamiliar, ill-defined
problems, involving other disciplines;
5. Be able to design according to codes of practice and industry standards; to identify limitations of
codes of practice and the need for their application
6. Have the ability to investigate and define a need and identify constraints including health, safety
and legal issues and the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context;
7. Be able to make engineering judgements that take cognizance of the social, environmental, ethical,
economic, financial, institutional and commercial considerations affecting the exercise of their
engineering discipline;
8. Have the ability to consult and work with experts in various fields in the realization of a product or
system;
Approved in 102th meeting of the Senate held on November 27, 2020
 9. Have knowledge and understanding of concepts from a range of areas outside engineering;
10. Be able, via knowledge and understanding of group dynamics, to exercise leadership;
11. Be able to select and apply appropriate communication tools and write technical papers and reports;
12. Be able to describe the relevant advantages and disadvantages of various technologies to an
audience, and to communicate effectively in public.
Evaluation Scheme:
Each student is assigned a faculty supervisor who is responsible for managing and assessment of the project
semester. This includes a Reflective Diary which is updated throughout the project semester, an Interim
Project Report, a Final Report with Learning Agreement/Outcomes and a Final Presentation & Viva which
involves the faculty Supervisor and some other members from the department. A hard copy and electronic

Project Objectives: The main objective of the project is to encourage students to think critically, solve
challenging problems, and develop skills through experimental/analytical projects. The idea is to provide
an opportunity to the students so that they are able to apply what they have learned throughout the course
of their graduate program by undertaking a specific idea.

Project Details: A capstone project will be a multifaceted assignment that will serve as a culminating
academic experience for students during their final semester of graduate program. The projects will be of
interdisciplinary nature that will require students to apply skills or investigate issues across many different
subject areas that they would have studied in all previous semesters.

While undertaking the project, students will have go through a step wise procedure:
Step 1: Students in a team of 5-7 will be asked to select a topic that interests them and discuss it with the
faculty who will be assigned to mentor the given team of students. At this stage, the students will give a
brief note of problem or question being investigated such as what is the problem, why is it important and
what is to be done and how including preliminary bibliography or literature review.

Step 2: Once the topic is decided, the student will start working on the subject and would regularly update
the mentor on his/her progress.

Step 3: Students will create a final product/results, demonstrating their learning acquisition or conclusions
in the form of a report. The student will be asked to give an oral presentation on the project to a panel of
experts who will collectively evaluate its quality. Typically, no grades will be awarded to students until the
panel of experts approve of the project.
