Justification of the Title

Title of this presentation Title of the Ph.D. Thesis Justify every word of the ‘Title’ Then

More than half the work is explained Justify every statement you make in your

work

Why Amusing?

• Unconventional tips• Think differently• Don’t swim along the current• Don’t swim against the current• Then how to swim?• Think of Fundamentals and churn your mind

Why Research?

Research for Research sake

Research for Career Advancement.

Research for Image Building of i) Self ii) The Institution.

• Knowledge Development• Product Development• Obtaining Patent• Profit making by Producing and Marketing the Product • The Thrill of Research

Research for

Definition of the term “ Research “ From WIKIPEDIA:

Research and experimental development is formal work Undertaken systematically to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humanity, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.

The word research is derived from the Middle French "recherche", which means "to go about seeking"

OUR DEFINITION:

“ MORE AND MORE

ABOUT

LESS AND LESS “

Types of Research:

1. Research in Science. 2. Research in Social Sciences and Humanities. 3. Research in Engineering and Technology. 4. Research on Economics and Finances. 5. Research on Medical and Health Sciences etc.

Steps in conducting research:

1. Identification of research problem

2. Literature survey

3. Specifying the purpose of research

4. Determine specific research questions or hypotheses or necessary background knowledge.

5. Data collection and experimentation or Matlab or other applications.

6. Analyzing and interpreting the data or graphs

7. Reporting and evaluating research publishing

8. Follow up like Patenting etc. if need be.

Research in Engineering and Technology. HOW TO PROCEED ?STEP 1 READ!

READ MORE !

READ STILL MORE ! ………

SEARCH THE INTERNET!

RE- SEARCH AGAIN !

RE- SEARCH AGAIN & AGAIN

…..

STEP 2

CONTEMPLATE

THINK WILDLY

DECIDE YOUR AREA OF RESEARCH

DECIDE YOUR TOPIC

STEP 3

  PLAN HOW TO PROCEED.

TRY DIFFERENT MATHEMATICAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

EXECUTE YOUR PLAN

STEP 4

COMPARE YOUR RESULTS WITH THE RESULTS OF OTHERS OR WITH YOUR RESULTS OBTATAINED USING OTHER TOOLS OR TECHNIQUES.

FREQUENTLY PRESENT SEMINARS ON PROGRESS OF YOUR FOR PEER EVALUTION AND REEP THE BENEFITS.

PUBLISH REGULARLY DIFFERENT PHASES OF YOUR WORK TO ESTABLISH YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR WORK

PUBLISH OR PERISH.

WHY PUBLICATIONS?

Reviewer’s comments and Reader’s queries help

WHY SEMINARS ON RESEARCH WORK?

Peers’ casual remarks and comments help

STICK TO TIME LIMIT DEPENDING ON THE PURPOSE ALLOT SOME TIME FOR DISCUSSIONSPREPARE A FEW MORE SLIDES THAN REQUIREDSLIDES SHOULD BE GOOD IN APPEARANCEYOU MAY ADD SIMPLE ANIMATION AND AUDIOPRESENT ALL NECESSARY SLIDES IN PROPER ORDER

AUDIENCE ARE TO READ THE SLIDES, NOT YOU

SLIDES ARE FOR YOU NOT TO MISS ANY POINTSLIDES SHOULD NOT CONTAIN DERIVATIONS SLIDES SHOULD CONTAIN ONLY POINTS IN BRIEFRELEVANT CASE STUDIES MAY BE NARRATED TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION LIVELY PRESENT COFIDENTLY AND BOLDLY

FOLLOW UP ACTIONS LIKE

PATENTING ETC. IF NEED BE.

ENGINEERING RESEARCH:

THERE IS ONLY ONE ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE,

“ SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ”

Why?

Every System is Modeled Mathematically and Solved

WORK YOURSELF. START GUIDING OTHERS CONFIDENTLY.

DISSEMINATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE BY SHARING WITH OTHERS

COMPETENCY AND CONFIDENCE:

ATTEND SHORT TERM, LONG TERM CONFERENCES TO KNOW

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AND TO FIND OUT RESOURCE PERSONS

AND RESOURCE MATERIALS. MIX WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS DISCUSS WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS AND RESOURCE PERSONS ORGANIZE CONFERENCES, GUEST LECTURES AND DISCUSS WITH

OTHERS GET THE HELP OF SENIOR FACULTY. DISCUSS WITH EXPERTS THROUGH E-MAIL

ADDITIONAL STEPS TO IMPROVE COMPETENCY AND PROSPER:

INTER-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH

MINGLE WITH FACULTY OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND DISCUSS TECHNICAL TOPICS.

EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF INTER-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IDENTIFYING THE AREA AND PROBLEM.

TRY TO APPLY TOOLS YOU USED TO THAT PROBLEM. YOU MAY ALSO TRY OTHER TOOLS USED IN OTHER

FIELDS TO THE PROBLEM. PROCEED CONFIDENTLY WITH THE HELP OF YOUR

COLLEAGUE IN THAT AREA.

FAN OUT FEND FOR YOURSELF COME OUT IN FLYING COLORS. DISSEMINATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE HELP OTHERS
