(Refer Para 6)

FORMAT OF THE SEMINAR REPORT

The writing of a professional engineer should be Clear, Complete and Concise. If the document satisfies these three criteria, then it deserves to be read. So to achieve the same here are the few tips:

1. Title of the Report: The topic or title of the Seminar Report is to be meaningful and if possible should not contain more than 10 words. e.g.,

“Computer Interaction Gets Some Humanity “

2. Report Contents: The content should be new and should not contain contents directly copied from web. Do research necessary to develop your Report content and add details as you see fit. Afterwards, bring the information together with an attention grabbing approach to writing.

3. Report Structure: a. Beginning: Give brief overview of what you are going to convey through

this article. It must be obvious to the reader at once what the document is about, and why it should be read.

b. What is the Topic/ Issue/ Technology/ Product is: Specify definition and purpose.

c. How it Works / Functional Details or Why does the Problem exist. d. What is the Usage / Application / Pros & Cons or What is the Solution of

the existing problem.e. Conclude your article at the end with suggestions etc.

4. Report Format:a. Use of Paragraphs: Every paragraph in the document should justify

itself; it should serve a purpose or convey a single idea. b. Use of Diagrams/ Pictures: Diagrams are often much better than written

text. Not only do diagrams convey some information more effectively, but often they assist in the analysis and interpretation of the data. For instance, a pie chart gives a quicker comparison than a list of numbers; a simple bar chart is far more intelligible than the numbers it represents. These diagram or pictures could be Printed and Pasted wherever required.

c. Style & Layout: The seminar report should be well formatted with appropriate page borders 1”inch from each side. The paragraphs should be neatly written with appropriate spacing, titles and use of Different Fonts is to be done wherever necessary for the ease of reading. Only white A4 size sheets are to be used on one side for report writing.

5. Seminar Report Submission: The seminar report documented as per above format needs to be submitted with Appropriate Cover Page with Seminar topic Title and Student Rollno, Name, & Class. The Seminar Report should be

submitted as per schedule. The report should have page numbers assigned appropriately. The report should have an appropriate Index & References attached at the beginning and end respectively. The length of seminar report should be 25 or more written pages. (One sided white A4 sheets).

6. Broadly speaking the contents of the report should include the following in order.

Introduction Description Origin and EvolutionScope Purpose Applications and usages Relation to Environment Linkages to other areas Advantages Limitations

ProcedureLessons Learned and Future trendsReferences
