Projects during the course of Engineering can be vital in getting an initial breakthrough into the technical industry besides giving a hands on experience with the technology, which is much valued than the theoretical scholarship. The value that a project adds to one's CV can be boosted in a number of ways. Rather than spending the time on projects that are just "exercises", utilizing it to solve some "real world" technical problem will fetch more value, visibility and understanding of the technology. There are several opportunities like contests, internships etc available for the students to contribute their innovative ideas and gain wide recognition. Affiliation of the projects with such well known programs provides important networking and career openings. Students can also get the maximum out of their projects by converting them into publications of reputed conferences. Developing a project into an entrepreneurial venture is becoming a hot trend these days. Backed by many generous grants, this idea can also be an interesting game to try. This session throws light on some of the most happening opportunities for the Engineering students and the best practices.
