PROJECT WORK GUIDELINES

1. Project Based Learning is a method in which student’s gains knowledge and skills by working for an extended
period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.

2. The aim of the project work is to provide an opportunity to further your intellectual and personal
development in your chosen field by undertaking a significant practical unit of activity, having an educational
value at a level commensurate with the award of your degree.

3. The project work can be defined as a scholarly inquiry into a problem or issues, involving a systematic
approach to gathering and analysis of information / data, leading to production of a structured report.

4. The project should be focused on student learning goals, including standards-based content and skills such
as critical thinking/problem solving, communication, collaboration, and self-management.

3. Selecting the Project work Topic

 It is usual to give you some discretion in the choice of topic for the project work and the approach to be
adopted. You will need to ensure that your project work is related to your field of specialization.
 Deciding this is often the most important part of the project work process, and perhaps, you have been
thinking of a topic for some time.
 It is important to distinguish here between ‘project work topic’ and ‘project work title’. The topic is the
specific area that you wish to investigate. The title may not be decided until the project work has been
written so as to reflect its content properly.

4. Few restrictions are placed on the choice of the topic. Normally we would expect it to be:
 Relevant to business or technology, defined broadly;
 Related to one or more of the subjects or areas of study within the core program and specialization;
 Clearly focused so as to facilitate an in-depth approach, subject to the availability of adequate sources of
information and to your own knowledge;
 Of value and interest to you and your personal and professional development.

5. Planning the Project work

This will entail following:

 Selecting an original and relevant topic for investigation.
 Establishing the precise focus of your study by deciding on the aims and objectives of the project work, or
formulating questions to be investigated. Consider very carefully what is worth investigating and its
feasibility.
 Drawing up initial project work outlines considering the aims and objectives of the project work. Workout
various stages of project work
 Devising a timetable to ensure that all stages of project work are completed in time. The timetable should
include writing of the project work and regular meetings with your project work guide.
 It is recommended that you should have a project work plan to guide you right from the outset.
 Essentially, the project work plan is an outline of what you intend to do, chapter wise and therefore should
reflect the aims and objectives of your project work.
