- Abstract (maximum 500 words)
- Every year lakhs of students come out of different engineering colleges in India. In this 4 years of course curriculum the students are suppose to do a mini project and minor project. This paper suggest a way to have a compulsory wiki page for the creative and innovative students projects at a part of their course curriculum. As a result the students get a fair chance to show their skills to the whole world. They get aware of the Wiki world. Their work may get recognition from the world research community and they may get funding. The wiki-project write up will add value in their bio data. Students will be aware of the different Wiki tools and how best to use them. The Wiki community will be strengthen through this process.
