AIM: Objective of subject Dissertation is to enlighten students on the fundamentals of Research methods before attempting final year Project Thesis. Basics of research to be understood by the students are:
Basic research principles and research methods.
Report writing skills
Dissertation will be part of Thesis Project (AR- 421) to be further carried and completed in VIII semester.
Course Content:
First phase of dissertation allows students to identify the broad area / field of Architecture of their interest in which they may intend to do the research. This is to be done by studying and reproducing the brief of technical papers in the form of report review.
Second phase allows the students to do the study of sample example of research already done by choosing the specific aspect / area relevant to broader field they have selected in first phase. This exercise involves the writing of report / review of book / journal dedicated to that specific aspect or area. This review writing is aimed to understand the method of collecting data (survey methods), analysis of data (statistics and mathematical formulas), drawing inferences and conclusion as attempted by the author of the book.
Third phase is the writing of detailed dissertation report. Students are expected to choose their own topic of research by referring the area / field already identified in other two phases.
NOTE: Sessionals will be submitted in the form of review reports and Dissertation report.
