POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS FOR 4-1 ECE

Draft Proposal

(mail suggestions to hodece@live.com)

A. Objective :

1. Gear up students to make their own power point presentations.
2. Prepare power point presentations for all subjects in 4-1 ECE.
3. Understand and appreciate the project environment.
4. Focus and highlighting of creative use of technology by students.

B. Project Description :

1.       4-1 consists of 6 theory subjects and two labs.

2.       Each theory subject consists of 8 units

3.       Each unit must be taught in 8 classes

4.       Each class is of one hour duration

5.       Each class content should be explained using  20-30 slides only.

6.       The content must be created using standard text books prescribed by JNTUH and approved by the panel of senior faculty ECE Dept. Signed approvals must be kept as records for future reference.

C. Project Deliverables :

1.       30 slides/class  x  8 classes/ unit  x  8 units/subject   x 6 subjects/semester

2.       That makes a total of 11520 slides per semester.

D. Content Developers :

1.       Students of Section A and section B = 136 students

2.       Help and guidance provided by panel of senior faculty.

3.       Monitored by faculty assigned for quality control.

E. Project  Targets :

1.       Each student gets a share of 85 slides (not considering individual expertise)

2.       A student gets to use the system for two hours only every day.

3.       If 10 good quality slides (approved by panel) can be made in two hours, each student can deliver his/her target in 10 days.

DEADLINE : THE PROJECT MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 10 DAYS from the STARTING DATE.

F. Guidelines :

1.       Planning , coordination and delivery schedules must be completely monitored by the students.

2.       SLIDES not complying with quality standards will be rejected with appropriate comments.

3.       Rejected  slides must be resubmitted.

4.       No  extension to the deadline due to rejections.

5.       Work done by students will be continuously monitored by staff and attendance will be taken.

6.       Quality contributions and innovative work will be highlighted during the progress of the work.

7.       FACULTY MUST PROVIDE OUTLINE INFORMATION TO HELP STUDENTS MAKE THE SLIDES.

8.       AN APPROXIMATE MEASURE IS THAT A FACULTY MUST SPEND 5-10 MINUTES FOR EVERY TWO HOUR WORK.

THIS IS ONLY A DRAFT DOCUMENT.

THE DOCUMENT AND FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE FINALISED BEFORE THE START OF THE PROJECT.

THIS IS A PROJECT AND ALL RULES APPLICABLE TO PROJECTS WILL BE APPLIED.

Why are we doing this project ? :

Students will be provided a 10-day group activity that involves creative academic activity  which will help the supervisors (faculty) to assess their  aptitude and attitude towards team-work.

For the students, it will help in assessing their own skill set against their class mates. This should help in identifying gaps and plan to fill up the gaps before graduation.

This activity will be the beginning to END copied power point presentations that are being submitted for Technical Seminars during the final semester.

During the 10-day period, students will be interviewed by a panel of  senior faculty to assess their technical standards. 

This time will also be used to make them understand the guidelines for Industry oriented mini-project and main-project.

DURING THE 10-day period, students will also FINALISE the draft proposal for industry oriented mini-project.

A parent-teacher meeting is planned during the first week of MAY, 2011 for 2008 Batch ECE Student.
