Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department believes in experiential learning as the cornerstone of effective education. Projects are designed to simulate real-world business scenarios, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts. Mini-projects begin in early semesters, gradually increasing in complexity and scope.
The structure of projects includes problem identification, stakeholder engagement, research methodology, data collection, analysis, and solution presentation. Evaluation criteria emphasize critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and innovation. Students select projects based on their interests and career goals, often working with faculty mentors or industry partners.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a significant undertaking that integrates all learned concepts into a comprehensive business plan or research paper. Students work closely with academic advisors to ensure alignment with industry standards and scholarly rigor.
