Referencing Style
SCD uses American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style in its documents. Links to
access APA official website: .

– https://apastyle.apa.org/products/mastering-apa-style (Mastering APA Style Student Workbook,
Seventh Edition (2021)
Important instructions
1. Maximum up to 40 words allowed including in double quotation marks. If it exceeds, one must
follow criteria as indicated by the APA.
2. For paraphrased text with citation, it is always better to give author’s viewpoint rather than
direct paraphrasing.
Plagiarism Detection Tools
Turnitin Checker
The college uses ‘Turnitin’ program to check similarity in text from worldwide internet sources, student
work submissions and academic publications. Key links to access and understand Turnitin.

Tin Eye and Google Image Check
The college uses open-source programs (Tin eye and Google Image Check) to search similarity in
images or graphic work submitted by the students. These programs support the following formats:
1. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)
2. Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
3. Google’s image file format (WebP)
4. Graphics Interchange Format GIF
5. Bitmap Image file BMP and
6. Tagged Image File Format TIFF.

Penalty for Violations (cheating, collusion & plagiarism
Students
• Caught cheating, collusion, plagiarism (text based and images) & research misconduct will
receive a ZERO for the particular assessment.
– In text-based submissions, the college accepts a similarity index maximum up to 20% in
students’ work, above that; the student will get a ZERO in the particular assessment.
– In images, even one match will lead to a ZERO in the particular project work.
• Three formal notices during the study results in student suspension for one full academic year.
This applies to final year students as well.
• Students caught cheating twice in a course during the same semester will lead to fail ‘F’.

Glass definition:
Glass is a solid material that is typically brittle and transparent, made by cooling and solidifying a
molten material. It is composed of various compounds, with the primary component being silica
(silicon dioxide or SiO2). Other common ingredients in glass include soda ash, limestone, and
alumina.
Glass can take on different forms and properties depending on its composition and manufacturing
process. It can be transparent, translucent, or opaque. It is widely used in various applications,
including windows, containers, optical lenses, and decorative items. Additionally, glass can be
molded into different shapes and used in fiber optics, electronics, and as a material for art and
architecture.
How Is the Glass Made?
Glass is made through a process called glassmaking, which involves melting raw materials and then
cooling them to form a solid, transparent material. The basic ingredients used in glassmaking are silica
(sand), soda ash, and limestone. Various other additives and colorants can be included to achieve specific
properties or colors.

Toughened glass
Also known as tempered glass, is a type of safety glass that has undergone a special heat treatment process to
increase its strength and durability. it is exceptionally strong, four to five times more robust than annealed glass,
making it resilient to physical stress and capable of withstanding significant compression, reducing the risk of
breakage in disasters or calamities.

Coated glass
A glass that has been treated with a thin layer of coating to modify its properties. The coating can
serve various purposes, such as enhancing thermal insulation, reducing glare, providing UV
protection, or improving the glass’s reflectivity. The type of coating applied depends on the
specific requirements for the glass in terms of performance, aesthetics, or energy efficiency.

Sandblasted glass:
Also known as frosted glass, is a type of glass that has undergone a surface treatment using abrasive materials such
as sand or aluminum oxide. This process, known as sandblasting, involves propelling fine particles at high speeds
onto the glass surface using compressed air. The result is a frosted or opaque appearance that diffuses light, creating
a translucent effect. Sandblasted glass is often used for decorative and privacy purposes.

(Sandblasted glass, 2023)
Process of installing glass in buildings that companies go through:
1. Site Assessment: Conduct assessment of the building site to understand the architectural design, structural
considerations, and specific requirements for glass installation.
2. Design and Specification: Collaborate with architects and designers to create a detailed plan for glass installation.
Specify the type of glass, including considerations for insulation, safety, and aesthetic preferences.
3. Budgeting and Cost Estimation: Develop a budget for the glass installation project, taking into account the cost of
materials, labor, and any additional services.
4. Glass Fabrication: Order the required glass panels from manufacturers based on the project specifications. Coordinate
with glass fabrication facilities to ensure the production of custom-cut or specialized glass.
5. Logistics and Delivery: Organize the logistics of transporting glass panels to the construction site. Ensure timely and
safe delivery of glass materials.
6. Preparation of Opening: Work on the preparation of window or door openings, which may involve installing frames or
other structural elements.
7. Installation Teams: Deploy skilled installation teams with expertise in handling and installing glass. Ensure that the
teams adhere to safety standards and regulations.
8. Installation Process: Carry out the installation according to the project plan, securing glass panels in place
using appropriate methods such as glazing strips, putty, or sealants.
9. Inspection: Implement quality control measures to inspect the installation for accuracy, safety, and compliance
with design specifications.
Rectify any issues or defects identified during inspections.
10. Safety Measures: Prioritize safety throughout the installation process, including the use of proper protective
gear and adherence to safety protocols.
11. Finalization and Completion: Completing the installation process, ensuring that all glass elements are
securely in place and meet the required standards. Provide any necessary finishing touches, such as installing
hardware or decorative elements.
12. Client Approval: Getting approval from the client or project stakeholders, ensuring satisfaction with the
completed glass installation.
13. Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation of the glass installation process, including design
plans, quality control records, and any warranties.
