Dissertation Project
The M. E. Project is aimed at training students to analyse
independently any problem posed to them. The project may be a purely analytical
piece of work, a completely experimental one, or a combination of both. In a
few cases, the project may also involve sophisticated design work. The project
report is expected to show clarity of thought and expression, critical
appreciation of the existing literature and analytical and/or experimental or
design skill.
