Week-02 Content


Check out the activities during Week 02

You may refer to basic information about the Log Books here and about Lab Notebook here. The students individually will maintain a record book of their involvement in the Design Engineering Subject.

In the words of Jennifer Marshall, “A documentation strategy is a plan formulated to assure the documentation of an ongoing issue, activity, or geographic area”. The documentation strategy is a systematic, scientific approach that needs to be incorporated, thoroughly. Learn more about by going through an article by JENNIFER A. MARSHALL of Wisconsin University.

Each record (each page) of your LOG BOOK must contain information about their involvement:

  • Day, Date, Time and Hours
  • Activity performed or
  • Task done
  • Details/ description
  • Signature by faculty member
  • additional information (drawing, sketch, diagram, text and so on)

Prepare a log-book of your involvement in the subject till date and get it signed in the Monday Session of Week-03.
