  9. ME Project Milestones Work hard in the coming weeks towards Mid Term Review - November 2011 8 page report; 15 minute presentation; 30 marks Do exemplary work; Lab presentation(s); Discuss with PhD/MSc/ME students Actively Explore Publication Options Final Viva - June 2011 16 page report; 30 minute presentation; 70 marks Final Report – 40 to 50 pages Research Paper(s) CSA ME II Year

  10. M.E. to Ph.D. Through Regular IISc Channel Advt. in February 2012; Interview in June 2012 After Final Viva; Departmental Evaluation After one or two years of job experience (Stock reply from most of you) We urge all of you to exercise one of the above options; PhD overseas is also an option CSA ME II Year

  16. Ingredients of a Good ME Project: Awareness of the Current Art and Gaps Awareness of the Journals and Conferences in the area Awareness of leading research groups, research papers, researchers, key results in the area Awareness of research gaps and open problems Clarity required on how the proposed work can be positioned with respect to the current art 16 CSA ME II Year

  17. Ingredients of a Good ME Project: Sound Experimentation Design of experiments is very important Each graph that is drawn must have a specific purpose and plan Insights from the experimental results must be brought out very clearly Simulation based studies must be accompanied by confidence interval estimation, etc. 17 CSA ME II Year

  18. Typical Organization of an M.E. Thesis Chapter 1: Background, Motivating Problems, Research Gap, Importance and Relevance, Contributions, and Thesis Outline Chapter 2 typically should contain all Preliminaries and relevant work Chapters 3, 4, etc. are the contributory chapters Results, Conclusions, Summary, Future Work Bibliography 18 CSA ME II Year

  19. Some Don’ts Don’t end up doing a routine, run-of-the-mill, also ran kind of project Shun copy and paste; plagiarism can lead to termination of your studentship Do not produce a final report which is a replica of your 16 page report Take the coursework during the semester seriously; grades do matter !
