For engineering students from various departments, require more information about final year projects. The last year project is challenging work for every engineering student. They need to do many researches, and analysis about their projects with creative ideas. Nowadays , many project are available on Google Search Engine. Engineers Garage is also the website which is only for Electronics and Electrical Engineers. Where students can find various Projects ideas and tutorials. Very Helpful website for Final year engineering students which has innovative ideas for projects in electronics and communication.
The course content and cover topics mentioned in other answers. But here are few things you need to check before joining.
1) How good are you with C and system concepts?
If your answer to this is fair enough or just college level understanding then I would recommend you to go ahead and join. Don’t think about the placement and fees because you need strong basics to build upon. I agree with others just joining a institute will not make you Embedded System Engineer. You have to practice whatever is being taught. As far as the teaching is concerned its top notch, even someone who has no prior knowledge of the concepts will come out with a very good understanding of the basics.
If your basics are well covered in C and systems side (Linux programming in particular) then I would suggest go for internship as you will be able to apply your knowledge to projects and will be able to learn practically. But again getting a internship also requires some work. As suggested in other answer opting for a small embedded system company or a start up is a good option.
2) Placement criteria?
When it comes to placements through Vector, two factors will get you shortlisted for a good company visiting Vector for placement (there are fair amount of good companies that visit Vector for placement, you can check their website for details). One, your academic background and whether it fits in the criteria of the visiting company(most good companies hire previous/same year graduates only). Two, your performance in Vector’s internal test and mocks. If you have this two covered then you will be in a very good position for placement. Then you just have to clear the written for the company(which should not be very difficult if you have done well in vector’s internal exams meaning you have absorbed the concepts well and are able to apply them when required). And then perform well in interviews. That’s it.
Having attended Vector and having placed through their placement cycle and been working in the industry from last 3 years, I can definitely say that attending Vector helps because you get well prepared for the industry as their course covers all the modules that are required to get you started in the industry and also offers decent placement opportunities to those who fit in the placement criteria.
So evaluate yourself based on the above two criteria then go for the option that best suits your evaluation.
First, let us take a look at this grain size distribution curve.
In this curve,
x axis – Particle size(dia) in mm in log scale
y axis – Percentage finer.
From this curve, we can find the D60, D30 and D10 of a particular soil.
D60 – 60 % of the soil particles are finer than this size.
D30 – 30% of the particles are finer than this size.
D10 – 10% of the particles are finer than this size.
Above definitions are just self explanatory. For example, if you have 100 particles of diameter ranging from 1 mm to 100 mm, D60 is 61 mm (below which 60% of particles are there).
Why do we find this?
To find Cu and Cc.
Cu – Uniformity coefficient.
Cu = D60/D10.
Cc – Coefficient of curvature.
Cc = (D30)^2 /(D60)(D10).
What is the use of this Cu and Cc?
Cu is always greater than 1 (equal to 1 is possible only by theoretical). If Cu is closer to 1 ( ie. D60 and D10 sizes are close to each other, which means there are more no. of particles arein the same size range), the soil is considered as uniformly graded.
If Cu is away from 1, the soil is well graded(ie. it has a vareity of size range distributed well). For gravel, if Cu>4, it is well graded. For sand, if Cu>6, it is well graded.
Cc is also greater than 1 ( equal to 1 is possible only by theoretical). For a well graded soil, Cc ranges between 1 to 3.
So,
Cu and Cc gives us idea about particle size distribution of a soil. These values are used in the soil classification.
Bonus points :
Why log scale is used instead of normal scale? If we use normal scale, it requires veryyyy length sheet to plot the soil size. Soil particles sizes ranges from few micrometers to centimeters range( 10^(-6) to 10^(-2) m ). So, it is impossible to cover this range with normal scale. Hence, log scale is used. And also getting a good curve is possible only with log scale.
For a uniformly graded soil, the grain distribution curve is almost vertical. For a well graded soil, the curve has a good slope. For a gap graded soil, the curve is almost horizontal in between any two points.
In CFD-post there are some macro calculation and native function that deal with these kind or demand. Mass flow rate, Averages on areas or volumes are some of tools available to do those calculations.
Once in this tab, select the function ( area, area average, mass flow rate,etc) , the region ( inlet, outlet, entire domain…) and if necessary, a variable to perform a average, for example.
There is no coding, is a native feature in the post-processing tool.
One of the best career choices I’ve ever made was to learn how to start a blog (this blog).
My decision to learn how to start a blog and begin making money from it on the side of my day job, is what propelled me into building a six-figure freelance writing business with clients like LinkedIn, Zendesk, Google, Intuit and more. On top of that, starting a blog has helped me generate thousands of dollars in passive income each month and book interviews with some of the world’s top entrepreneurs for my podcast.
More than anything, my choice to start a blog has allowed me to connect with and teach more than 2,000,000 incredible, talented, and passionate readers (like you) every single year.
Whether you’re trying to build a freelance business, launch personal brand, earn a living from blogging, or are just passionate and want to write about a certain topic, there’s nothing I would recommend more than challenging yourself to learn how to start a blog today.
And while it’s now easier than ever to get started with writing and publishing online, the last thing you want to slow you down is all the technicalities of starting a blog.

The Rankine cycle is a model used to predict the performance of steam turbine systems. It was also used to study the performance of reciprocating steam engines. The Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle of a heat engine that converts heat into mechanical work while undergoing phase change.
