16. Role of the Guide
Developing the clarity over among the students about each phase of the process.
The Guide has to assess the student competencies with regard to his project work. More specifically to assess the student’s individual contribution to the project, to establish the level of understanding of basic theoretical knowledge relevant to the project and to ensure that the student has good understanding and appreciation of design and development decisions taken in the course of the project.

17. Student's Responsibilities
To manage the project with respect to progress, time and other resources. Please note that the student's role includes that of project leader.
To maintain regular contact with the Guide. It is the student's responsibility to arrange appointments with his/her Guide.
To report immediately to the Guide any difficulties arising from equipment failures, resource constraints, interruptions of work due to illness or personal problems, and difficulties arising from laboratory management.

18. Coordinator’s Responsibilities
To clearly define the course learning objectives and how they relate to the programme outcomes.
To clearly explain what resources are available in the department to the student, including hardware, software and other facilities.
To make students available to the project guide to interact with guide at regular intervals.
To give guidance and expectation of the every phase, where as the solutions and implementation details is student’s choice as far as possible.
To monitor regularly the progress made by the student in achieving the course learning objectives.

19. Role of evaluation Team
Educating the students about the criteria/standards being used for project development and Implementation.
To ensure phase wise progress of the project.
To assess the progress of the stage as per the prescribed parameters focusing on deliverables.
To compare with the peer projects in terms of quality and guide them.
To assess the individual involvement and contribution in doing the work and motivate accordingly.

28. Thesis vs. CAPSTONE PROJECT
In CAPSTONE PROJECT, the students will have made things that are tangible, which can be displayed in an event like “Final-Year Design Project Showcase”.
Software projects with animated computer display or demonstration and computer projects that enable useful real world devices are also acceptable.
Computer simulation based projects that just have results or graphs are discouraged.
The students will have 2 trimesters to complete projects.
In first trimester, the course will be offered similar to any other lab courses of the curriculum
The course may be divided in two parts:
for example CSE402-A, CSE 402-B
