Subject Code: 650018
Learning Objectives:
• To gain an experience of a subject (area) of interest.
• To make an initial attempt at doing some research on the selected area / topic.
• To review research papers and white papers, etc. published in journals and conference
proceedings of repute.
• To compile, organize and present the material collected from various sources in the form a
white paper or a report of good value.
Prerequisites:
Searching on the Internet, Word Processing Software, Technical Writing Skills
Guidelines:

on the following parameters:
o Topic finalized, and milestones identified
o Schedule preparation (keep at least 15 days for completing the final report. Report
writing may involve several [4 or more] cycles of writing-checking-correctionschecking-………)
o Quality of material collected in terms of (a) relevance, (b) research material, (c)
experimentation and analysis, etc.
