Project

Code: ENCTNS601 · Credits: 4 · Hours: — · Type: PROJECT

The Y2P1 Project is a major individual or two-person engineering effort that becomes the foundation for either the Y2P2 Industrial Project (course-based track) or the full thesis (research track). It is the moment in the degree where a student takes a real problem, designs a solution, and defends it.

Key topics

Problem definition: identifying a real-world gap (Nepal-context preferred).
Literature survey: how to read research papers, manage a reading list, write a survey.
System design: requirements, architecture, threat model, evaluation plan.
Implementation: incremental milestones, version control hygiene.
Evaluation: empirical results, benchmarks, ablation, statistical significance.
Mid-term and final defence: presenting, defending, taking criticism.
Documentation: project report, code repository, video walkthrough.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this subject, a student should be able to:

Scope and decompose a 6-month engineering project into milestones.
Write a literature survey that connects 15+ papers around a single thesis question.
Defend technical choices under hostile but fair questioning.
Produce a maintainable code artefact that another engineer can pick up.
