COURSE SUMMARY

The course is introduced as a part of the credit course during the junior year III year/the fifth semester. As a micro project, each student will carry out an individual software project and submit the project report. This project aims to provide students an opportunity to bring together and synthesize the concepts from various areas they have learned over the first two years of their study as well as the knowledge and skills they are learning during the third year of their study, and creatively apply them to real-life situations. The students are expected to conduct their project through careful planning, research, and execution of the tasks while developing critical judgment, communication skills, and competence in the subject area. The reasons to have this project as an individual project are to provide an opportunity for students to do something of their interest, and also to encourage them for independent learning. Moreover, an individual project also prevents ‘social loafing’ and ‘polarization’, which are prevalent in such project work.

PREREQUISITE AND PROGRESS CONDITIONS 

• Students are assumed to have gained sufficient knowledge in the software and other tools required to undergo the project.
• Students are recommended to decide on a project topic with a realistic objective.
• Students are recommended to study journal papers, conference papers, research articles, and project reports to become familiar with literature review, objectives, and report writing.
• Student must get their project idea/proposal approved by the project review committee before they start to work on it.
• Students must make the following oral presentations: project idea presentation, project progress review defense, and project final demo and defense.
• As a part of the project work, students must write and submit a project report, which has to meet the requirements specified by the college. This report shall be an academic work that must be related to and includes the theory and practices that the students have implemented in their project.
• Students must deliver a working software project that is described in the accepted proposal.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

After completing this project work, the students are expected to be able to know the basics of project-based work and be able to carry out an independent development software project. In further detail, the students should be able to fulfill the following objectives:

• To develop a basic ability to define project objectives, evaluate the background critically, and gain a comprehension of the context for the work.
• To understand the software requirements (both functional and non-functional requirements) and acquire limited ability to elicit and analyze actual requirements from the end-users and other stakeholders.
• To acquire knowledge and develop skills to use modeling languages (e.g., Unified Modelling Language) to design software architecture. 
• To know the basic concepts related to software quality assurance and can take them into account in project work. By this, the students should be able to design suitable test cases and use them for software testing.
• To know and select the main software tools that are related to project work and be able to use these tools also in practice.
• To understand the basics of successful project working practices, project scheduling, and reporting.
• To present project outcomes through presentation and in the technical report.
• To take into account ethical requirements related to project work.
• To learn independently through self-reflection and evaluation of their own work processes, and develop the ability to take appropriate actions to improve it.

ASSESSMENT

Each student will be provided with a supervisor and he/she will be examined the project. Marks are divided into the following way, along with the weightage:

Internal evaluation (At the mid and the end of Project work by a supervisor, HOD/coordinator): contributes 100% to the overall mark

See Appendix 1 for detail on overall marks distribution as well as a breakdown of each of the milestones along with marks associated with it.

KEY MILESTONES

Project work normally covers an entire semester. The project initiation starts right at the beginning of the semester and should be completed by the time the mark sheets are shared with the students for that semester.

• Project Work Orientation
  • 1st-2nd week of commencement of Semester
    • The concerned faculty. This is important as will pave the path for college's expectation from the students in doing this project. The concerned faculty must clearly explain the evaluation criteria of the whole project as well as each milestone.
• Title Defense
  • 2 weeks from the start of the semester.
• Final Presentation ( Internal )
  • 10-12 weeks from the start of the semester
• Report Submission
  • 12-14 weeks from the start of the semester

PROJECT DEFENSE

• Defense Review Committee - All members of the committee to place comments and rank the projects in either ‘Accepted’, ‘Rejected ‘, or ‘Accepted with Modification’.
• Those not in the Accepted category represent their ideas. The same process is to be followed.
• Each session must be evaluated by at least 2 evaluators and marks updated in the project sheet.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

It is often found that students try to gain an unfair advantage with their assignments by following the path of academic misconduct. This is unacceptable behavior and the supervisor of the academic project should acknowledge and should try to prevent the following misconducts:

• Plagiarism is an act when a student presents ideas, text, data, pictures, or other output as their own work without giving a credit to or referencing the original author.
• Collusion is when two or more students are involved to present identical assignments with minor modifications presenting as their own work.
• Personation is completing the assignment of one student by another student.

COURSE SUMMARY

DWIT Project - II is a three-credit course aimed at VI semester students of BScCSIT. This course initiates students to implement their knowledge into a practical environment. The nature of this project guides students in extending their skills applicable to research study, analysis of the requirements, design, and implementation, testing, maintenance, and deployment into the real environment. It includes both theoretical as well as practical approaches.

The main goal of this course is to develop the skills associated with analysis design and the development of meaning and efficient real-world application.

COURSE CONTENTS

1. Problem Identification
2. Problem Specification
3. Analysis and Design
4. Implementation
5. Testing
6. Maintenance and Deployment

The content of this course is divided into six different phases; the students will first involve themselves in identifying a problem that needs to be addressed. Such a problem needs to be specified precisely and several solutions need to be prescribed in which the most viable will be selected. The selected proposed solution now has to be analyzed properly and design. This might involve the use of tools depending upon the nature of the problem and environment. The design should be implemented using the different platforms of their choice. The project should be followed by testing when the implementation gets completed. Maintenance should be done when necessary and

deployed in the real environment.

Evaluations for the project must be made by the evaluators within two business days of presentation.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

It is often found that students try to gain an unfair advantage with their assignments by following the path of academic misconduct. This is unacceptable behavior and the supervisor of the academic project should acknowledge and should try to prevent the following misconducts:

• Plagiarism is an act when a student presents ideas, text, data, pictures, or other output as their own work without giving a credit to or referencing the original author.
• Collusion is when two or more students are involved to present identical assignments with minor modifications presenting as their own work.
• Personation is completing the assignment of one student by another student.
