Guidelines for Instructor's Manual

The instructor‟s manual is to be developed as a hands-on resource and reference. The instructor's
manual need to include prologue (about University/program/ institute/ department/foreword/ preface
etc), University syllabus, conduction & Assessment guidelines, topics under consideration-concept,
objectives, outcomes, set of typical applications/assignments/ guidelines, and references.
Guidelines for Student Journal
The laboratory assignments are to be submitted by student in the form of journal. Journal consists of
prologue, Certificate, table of contents, and handwritten write-up of each assignment (Title,
Objectives, Problem Statement, Outcomes, software & Hardware requirements, Date of Completion,
Assessment grade/marks and assessor's sign, Theory- Concept in brief, Database design, test cases,
conclusion/analysis. Program codes with sample output of all performed assignments are to be
submitted as softcopy.
As a conscious effort and little contribution towards Green IT and environment awareness, attaching
printed papers as part of write-ups and program listing to journal may be avoided. Use of DVD
containing students programs maintained by lab In-charge is highly encouraged. For reference one or
two journals may be maintained with program prints at Laboratory
Guidelines for Assessment
Continuous assessment of laboratory work is done based on overall performance and lab
assignments performance of student. Each lab assignment assessment will assign grade/marks based
on parameters with appropriate weightage. Suggested parameters for overall assessment as well as
each lab assignment assessment include- timely completion, performance, innovation, efficient
codes, punctuality and neatness.
Guidelines for Practical Examination
Both internal and external examiners should jointly set problem statements. During practical
assessment, the expert evaluator should give the maximum weightage to the satisfactory
implementation of the problem statement. The supplementary and relevant questions may be asked
at the time of evaluation to test the student‟s for advanced learning, understanding of the

fundamentals, effective and efficient implementation. So encouraging efforts, transparent evaluation

and fair approach of the evaluator will not create any uncertainty or doubt in the minds of the
students. So adhering to these principles will consummate our team efforts to the promising start of
the student's academics.
Guidelines for Laboratory Conduction
Set of suggested assignments and mini-projects is provided for reference. Referring these the
Course Teacher or Lab instructor is expected to frame the assignments by understanding the
prerequisites, technological aspects, utility and recent trends related to the topic. The
assignment framing policy need to address the average students and inclusive of an element to
attract and promote the intelligent students. The instructor may set multiple sets of assignments and
distribute among batches of students. It is appreciated if the assignments are based on real world
problems/applications. Encourage students for appropriate use of Hungarian notation, proper
indentation and comments. Use of open source software is to be encouraged.
In addition to these, instructor may assign one real life application in the form of a mini-project
based on the concepts learned. Instructor may also set one assignment or mini-project that is
suitable to respective branch beyond the scope of syllabus.

Each student must perform assignments individually and/or mini-projects in a group of 2-3
students.

The instructor‟s manual is to be developed as a hands-on resource and reference. The instructor's
manual need to include prologue (about University/program/ institute/ department/foreword/ preface
etc), University syllabus, conduction & Assessment guidelines, topics under consideration-concept,
objectives, outcomes, set of typical applications/assignments/ guidelines, and references.
Guidelines for Student Journal
The laboratory assignments are to be submitted by student in the form of journal. Journal consists of
prologue, Certificate, table of contents, and handwritten write-up of each assignment (Title,
Objectives, Problem Statement, Outcomes, software & Hardware requirements, Date of Completion,
Assessment grade/marks and assessor's sign, Theory- Concept in brief, Database design, test cases,
conclusion/analysis. Program codes with sample output of all performed assignments are to be
submitted as softcopy.
As a conscious effort and little contribution towards Green IT and environment awareness, attaching
printed papers as part of write-ups and program listing to journal may be avoided. Use of DVD
containing students programs maintained by lab In-charge is highly encouraged. For reference one or
two journals may be maintained with program prints at Laboratory
Guidelines for Assessment
Continuous assessment of laboratory work is done based on overall performance and lab
assignments performance of student. Each lab assignment assessment will assign grade/marks based
on parameters with appropriate weightage. Suggested parameters for overall assessment as well as
each lab assignment assessment include- timely completion, performance, innovation, efficient
codes, punctuality and neatness.
Guidelines for Practical Examination
Both internal and external examiners should jointly set problem statements. During practical
assessment, the expert evaluator should give the maximum weightage to the satisfactory
implementation of the problem statement. The supplementary and relevant questions may be asked
at the time of evaluation to test the student‟s for advanced learning, understanding of the
fundamentals, effective and efficient implementation. So encouraging efforts, transparent evaluation
and fair approach of the evaluator will not create any uncertainty or doubt in the minds of the
students. So adhering to these principles will consummate our team efforts to the promising start of
the student's academics.

The problem is to determine how many thousand liters of milk is to be transported from each route
on daily basis in order to minimize the total cost of transportation.

2. Investment Problem:
A portfolio manager with a fixed budget of $100 million is considering the eight investment
opportunities shown in Table 1. The manager must choose an investment level for each alternative
ranging from $0 to $40 million. Although an acceptable investment may assume any value within
the range, we discretize the permissible allocations to intervals of $10 million to facilitate the
modeling. This restriction is important to what follows. For convenience we define a unit of
investment to be $10 million. In these terms, the budget is 10 and the amounts to invest are the
integers in the range from 0 to 4. Following table provides the net annual returns from the
investment opportunities expressed in millions of dollars. A ninth opportunity, not shown in the
table, is available for funds left over from the first eight investments. The return is 5% per year for
the amount invested, or equivalently, $0.5 million for each $10 million invested. The manager's
goal is to maximize the total annual return without exceeding the budget

Guidelines for Instructor's Manual

The instructor‟s manual is to be developed as a hands-on resource and reference. The instructor's
manual need to include prologue (about University/program/ institute/ department/foreword/ preface
etc), University syllabus, conduction & Assessment guidelines, topics under consideration-concept,
objectives, outcomes, set of typical applications/assignments/ guidelines, and references.
Guidelines for Student Journal
The laboratory assignments are to be submitted by student in the form of journal. Journal consists of
prologue, Certificate, table of contents, and handwritten write-up of each assignment (Title,
Objectives, Problem Statement, Outcomes, software & Hardware requirements, Date of Completion,
Assessment grade/marks and assessor's sign, Theory- Concept in brief, Database design, test cases,
conclusion/analysis. Program codes with sample output of all performed assignments are to be
submitted as softcopy.
As a conscious effort and little contribution towards Green IT and environment awareness, attaching
printed papers as part of write-ups and program listing to journal may be avoided. Use of DVD
containing students programs maintained by lab In-charge is highly encouraged. For reference one or
two journals may be maintained with program prints at Laboratory.
Guidelines for Assessment
Continuous assessment of laboratory work is done based on overall performance and lab assignments
performance of student. Each lab assignment assessment will assign grade/marks based on parameters
with appropriate weightage. Suggested parameters for overall assessment as well as each lab
assignment assessment include- timely completion, performance, innovation, efficient codes,
punctuality and neatness.
Guidelines for Practical Examination
Both internal and external examiners should jointly set problem statements. During practical
assessment, the expert evaluator should give the maximum weightage to the satisfactory
implementation of the problem statement. The supplementary and relevant questions may be asked at
the time of evaluation to test the student‟s for advanced learning, understanding of the fundamentals,
effective and efficient implementation. So encouraging efforts, transparent evaluation and fair approach
of the evaluator will not create any uncertainty or doubt in the minds of the students. So adhering to
these principles will consummate our team efforts to the promising start of the student's academics.
Guidelines for Laboratory Conduction
Set of suggested assignments and mini-projects is provided for reference. Referering these the
