Hi, I'm studying for Bsc. Computer Science. We have a mini project on next sem. I found an article on August 2009 LFY, page no: 74 about configuring an Internet Radio. Is it advisable to do it as a project?
Here's our guidelines: Minor Projects & Seminar "1. Aims: Minor project will give an opportunity for students to prepare for the major project and also contribute to achieving some of the objectives of the major project. Minor projects shall also serve as an opportunity for producing and distributing socially useful softwares. Seminars will give an opportunity for the students familiarize literature search, and to practice assimilating knowledge from published literature on current and emerging topics and communicate the same in their own words through a technical presentation. 3. Guidelines For Minor Project Generally, guide lines for Major projects are applicable to Minor project also. However, in view of the time allotment, the following specific guidelines are applicable: 1. Individual projects are to be permitted, if desired by any student 2. Full-time attachment to any external organization is not mandatory, mostly minor projects can be done in the college itself. 3. The type and scope of the project is completely flexible, the only constraint being that considerable effort should be involved and technical work should not be completely absent. 4. Specifically, web site development, game development, utility software development, educational software development, Malayalam computing, mobile computing etc are to be encouraged. 5. No restrictions shall be placed on the students in the choice of platforms/tools/languages to be utilized for their project work, though open source is strongly recommended, wherever possible. No value shall be placed on the use of tools in the evaluation of the project. 6. It should be possible for students to develop softwares that cater to the needs of the general public. Students are encouraged to develop software products or software components which should be distributed free through the university website. E-learning is a vast area suitable for very effective distribution of such software for very simple reason that there is scope for a large number of such programs and most often they do not need maintenance or updation. They are to be deployed with source code under General Public License (GPL) so as to make it possible for others to make further improvements. 7. There shall be an internal supervisor for the minor project. While an external supervisor is also permitted in cases where the students opt attachment to external organizations, they shall not be assessing the work. 5. Note on Assessment Of Minor Projects: There shall be 4 components that will be considered in assessing a minor project work, with weightage as indicated below. The first two components will be considered as in-sem assessment and the rest as end- sem assessment: Quantum of technical and creative work: 40% Quality of Project Documentation (precision, stylistics etc) 10 % Effective Technical Presentation (relevant guidelines of seminar applicable here too) of Project work 25 % Viva (approximately half the questions shall enable students to express what they did, and the rest can be challenging their knowledge in the area of work) 25% " --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
