These days the software based projects and thesis work are the most liked and convenient option for engineering graduates, post-graduates and doctoral candidates. No doubt the experimental work done on hardware can never be replaced, as it has an edge over the virtual results produced using software. But the use of software for design, development and verification of the results has increased in the recent past due to accuracy and suitability of numerous software packages available for different applications. Every software package has a quality of its own. Some are used for system level simulations while some are used for component level simulations, some are good at numerical computations while some are more suited for analysis and visualizations. Few of the software used these days are,   £   MATLAB – Language for engineering computations   £   LabVIEW – Graphical Programming Language to develop virtual systems   £   OrCAD, PSPICE – Design ...

The search for a potential and approachable M.Tech. thesis topic is an annoying task. It is difficult for most of the students because they do not understand the expectation of the university and their guides. At master’s level, no one expect the students to do wonders and come up with a Ph.D. level research in just 5 to 6 months. The expectation is to train the students to understand the contributions of other researchers. It is only then they may find opportunity, directions and gaps to work further after their M.Tech. is over.  The students at master’s level are expected to make a noteworthy and decent contribution to the research. The simplest approaches that I have found for the same are Ø   Expansion of previous work in the field, Ø   Suggesting improvement in the available algorithms or work, Ø   Confirmation of the results available in the literature and implementation of the same to new problems, Ø   Comparison of the results for two or mo...
