Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The program places significant emphasis on project-based learning, which is integral to the student experience. Mini-projects are introduced in the third year, allowing students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios under faculty supervision. These projects encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
The final-year capstone project is a culmination of all learned concepts. Students select a topic aligned with their interests or industry needs and work closely with a faculty mentor throughout the process. Projects are evaluated based on research quality, innovation, presentation, and impact assessment.
Faculty mentors guide students through every stage of the project lifecycle, from proposal development to final submission. This mentoring system ensures that students receive personalized attention and support, enhancing their learning outcomes and career readiness.
