Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes experiential education that bridges theory and practice. Students engage in mini-projects during the second and third years, followed by a final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-projects are assigned based on student interests and faculty expertise, allowing students to explore specific domains within their discipline. These projects typically last 6–8 weeks and involve research, experimentation, and documentation.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that requires students to apply all acquired knowledge to solve an open-ended problem or develop an innovative solution. Projects are selected in consultation with faculty mentors who guide students through the process from conception to completion.
Evaluation criteria include technical competency, creativity, presentation skills, and adherence to ethical standards. Students must present their work publicly and defend it before a panel of experts.
