Guidelines for B.Tech. Thesis Format Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering ANURAG GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS (Formerly Known as CVSR College of Engineering) (Approved By AICTE, New Delhi - Accredited by NBA, New Delhi Affiliated to JNT University, Hyderabad) Venkatapur(V), Gatkeshar(M) R.R. (Dist.) – 501301, A.P. 2011-2012 Abstract This document gives a set of guidelines on the format of the B Tech. Thesis. Its purpose is to help you prepare and turn in a professional document. These guidelines include complete descriptions of the organization, general considerations and the submission of the Thesis. 1. Introduction It is recommended that you meet your guide regularly during the course of the project, and maintain a record of your discussions with your Guide and of literature survey details, derivations etc. Such a system will allow easy and quick access to the details and chronology of your work. The final responsibility for producing an error-free report lies with you, and not your Guide! Please read the guidelines carefully and make sure your project report strictly conforms to specifications. What you are writing is a professional document. “Keep it so simple” (KISS). In general keep in mind the maxim “Simplicity is the mother of beauty”. 2. Organization The project report must be organized as follows. Seek clarification where necessary. 2.1. Top cover. Black & white only on regular paper. See Exhibit 1. On the spine of the binding the following should be printed or embossed: M.Tech. Project , Year 2.2. Title page. Black & white only on regular paper. See Exhibit 2. 2.3. Certificate. Black & white only from the EEE Department. This is page number (i), the beginning of the small case Roman numeral page numbers. The certificate will be signed by the Faculty Advisor(s) before the viva-voce after verifying the format and by the Head of the Department after review with the Advisor(s) at a later date. See Exhibit 3. 2.4. Declaration. See exhibit 4. 2.5. Acknowledgements. This is page (ii). Thank your Supervisor(s), lab staff and anyone else who has been helpful in the Thesis. Keep this brief and avoid syrupy language like “I want to thank our beloved …” This page must be signed by you. See Exhibit 5. 2.6. Abstract and Keywords. This is page (iii). See Exhibit 6. The abstract (about 150 words) should contain the context/relevance of the problem at hand, a description of what was done and a gist of the significant observations/results. 2.7. Contents. The table of Contents should be titled just Contents (not Table of Contents). Starts on page (iv). Include above items, titles of all chapters, bibliography, appendices, drawings, program listings and CD ROMs. The table of contents gives a bird’s eye view. Try to fit it into one or two pages. See Exhibit 7. 2.8. List of Figures and List of Tables. on separate pages. Each list should give, in tabular form, the figure or table number, its title/caption and its page number. 2.9. Nomenclature and Abbreviations. All symbols that appear in the report should be listed alphabetically. First give all Roman symbols, then Greek symbols. Subscripts and superscripts should be listed separately if these are not an intrinsic part of the variable name. Example: for a symbol such as Vai where i refers to a running index (identifying, for instance, a particular location or time), enter Va as a symbol (treating a as an intrinsic part of the symbol) and enter i in the list of subscripts. Also kpx should follow kp. Note the ordering sequence: (1) Upper case symbols followed by lower case ones, (2) Unscripted variables preceding superscripted and subscripted ones, (3) Superscripted variables followed by subscripted ones. 2.10. List of Acronyms and Standards. 2.11. The Chapters. Each chapter should begin with an Introduction and end with a Conclusion (a summing up) and, where applicable, a lead-in to the next chapter. The page on which chapter 1 starts is page 1. One chapter should follow immediately after another. Do not use an intervening blank or title page between chapters. The chapter title is the first-order heading. A chapter may be divided into sections each of which has a section title (second-order heading). For example, in Chapter 3, the sections will be numbered 3.1, 3.2, etc. If at all possible do not further subdivide a section. Use subsections (third-order headings) only if unavoidable. For instance, in section 3.2, the subsections will be numbered 3.2.1, 3.2.2, etc. Do not further subdivide beyond this point. For example, subsection 3.2.2 may not be further divided into sub-subsections 3.2.2.1, 3.2.2.2 etc. See Exhibits 12-13 for examples of chapter organization. 2.12. Bibliography Number all the references. Use a chronological bibliography. Each listed reference in the bibliography must be cited in the text of the report. See Exhibits 14-15. For a book give the name(s) of author(s), title of book, edition, chapter number, and page numbers, publisher, location and year of publication. Example: [25] Jones, C.D., A.B. Smith, and E.F. Roberts, Efficient Real-Time Fine- Grained Concurrency, 2nd Ed., Ch. 3, pp. 145-7, Tata McGraw-Hill, New Delhi, 1994. For a journal/conference paper, give the name(s) of authors, title of paper, name of journal/ conference, volume and issue number (for journal), page numbers, and month and year of publication. Example: [23] Prasad, A.B., Kumar, C.D., Jones, E.F., and Frost, P.: “Cable Television Broadband Architectures”, IEEE Comm. Magazine, vol. 39, pp. 134-141, June 1991. For a World Wide Web page, give the author or company's name and the URL. 2.13. Appendices. Number the Appendices A, B, etc. Figures, tables and equations in an appendix are numbered as in the case of a chapter with the appendix letter taking the place of the chapter number. Examples: Figure A.2, Table B.3, Equation C.1. See Exhibit 16. 3. General considerations 3.1. Number of pages, font, spacing, color. Keep the total number of pages (of the chapters) between 60 and 70, not exceeding 70 in any case. This does not include the page count of the appendices. With regard to the text please note: Margins All text, drawings, tables, etc., must be positioned on an A4 sheet with 1 in. margin on the top, bottom and right side and 1½ in. margin on the left side. Pages should be numbered at bottom center (including pages that contain only figures or tables). Font style and size: Times New Roman, 12 pt. For font size of chapter, section and subsection headings see Exhibit 6. Line Spacing: one and half Typing: single sided Color: Black and white 3.2. Figures and Tables. Each sketch, drawing, graph and photograph should have a figure number and title below the figure etc. Numbering should be sequential, chapter wise. For instance, if there are 24 figures chapter 3 spread over all of its sections the figure numbers run from Figure 3.1 through Figure 3.24. In figures experimental data should typically be represented by centered symbols, and theoretical data by continuous curves. Each table should have a table number and caption above the table. Numbering should be sequential, chapter wise, as in the case of Figure numbers. For instance, if there are 18 tables in chapter 3 the table numbers run from Figure 3.1 through Figure 3.18. Make sure that figures and tables are complete in other respects such as legends, references (if any) and coordinate labels with units. Each figure and table must be explicitly referred to in the text and located where its first reference occurs, preferably after the reference. 3.3. Drawings. All engineering drawings must conform to relevant Standards and should include a title block. If drawings are large they should be included at the back of the report in a separate pocket. In case drawings are made using CAD packages, a CD ROM should be included which contains all the files and details of the packages used. 3.4. Equations. The numbering of equations should be sequential, chapter wise. Numbered equations must be explicitly referred to in the text. 3.5. SI. Make sure proper units, SI as far as possible, appear wherever required. 3.6. Readability. In general it will help to have someone else read your report and critique it. Make a checklist of their questions and comments and resolve each one. The report must be complete, error free and referable. All references, figures, tables, equations, etc. which are referenced in the text should be locatable in the report with the specified number or reference. Conversely, all references, figures, tables, equations, etc. must be cross-referenced in the text. Use of spelling and grammar software is strongly recommended. “Spell-check” cannot identify correctly spelt words in the wrong context. For example, typing “he” in place of “the” may alter the meaning of the sentence but the spell-check will not indicate this. Except for acronyms do not use ALL CAPITALS. Do not use underlining. Use italics for emphasis or if the phrase is non-English. 3.7. Program listings. All computer programs developed should be presented in the report in the following manner: Source code listing with complete coding. A CD ROM with program source code, executable uploads/Litterature/ guide-lines-anurag.pdf
