The AI Research Center of Advanced College of Engineering and Management (ACEM) successfully conducted a first-of-its-kind workshop on Minor and Major Projects for Computer Engineering and Electronics, Communication and Information Engineering students on Jestha 15, 2083 (May 29, 2026). The workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation from more than 140 students and was organized to address one of the most significant challenges faced by engineering students—selecting the right project topic.
The session was facilitated by the members of the AI Research Center, ACEM: Dr. Bipun Man Pati, DEng., Er. Anupam Shrestha, Er. Ukesh Thapa, and Er. Ramesh Sharma, in collaboration with the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering. The program was further enriched by the presence of Dr. Binayak Ojha, whose participation added valuable insights to the event.
The workshop focused on guiding students in identifying appropriate, feasible, and impactful project titles for both Minor Projects (3rd Year) and Major Projects (4th Year). The presenters emphasized that a well-defined project title serves as the foundation for a successful engineering project and plays a crucial role in its progression from the minor to the major stage.
Overview of official project guidelines, including course codes, credit hours, group size requirements, and evaluation procedures.
Discussion on Research-Based and Product-Based Projects, helping students align project choices with their academic and professional goals.
Exploration of project domains and topic-generation strategies in areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), Internet of Things (IoT), Web and Mobile Development, Embedded Systems, FPGA Applications, and Communication Engineering.
Presentation of innovative and practical project ideas suitable for both computer and electronics engineering disciplines.
Insights into common mistakes that negatively impact project evaluations, including weak report writing, improper use of AI-generated references, demonstration failures, and unprofessional presentations.
Preparation for project defenses through discussions on frequently asked viva questions and evaluation expectations.
The workshop provided students with practical guidance, valuable insights, and a clearer understanding of how to approach project selection and development effectively. Through initiatives like this, the AI Research Center, ACEM continues to strengthen the connection between academic learning and real-world engineering practice while fostering a culture of innovation, research, and technical excellence among students.
