Mini-Projects
Mini-projects are undertaken in the third and fourth semesters, where students work on small-scale challenges related to their specialization. These projects typically involve 3-5 students and last for 2-3 months. The evaluation criteria include project presentation, technical report, peer review, and innovation.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The final-year capstone project is a significant component of the program, lasting 6 months and involving extensive research and development. Students select projects in collaboration with faculty mentors or industry partners. The project involves literature review, experimentation, data analysis, and presentation to an external panel.
Project Selection Process
Students are guided by faculty advisors to select projects that align with their interests and career goals. The selection process involves proposal submission, mentor assignment, and milestone tracking. Industry partners often propose project ideas that address current market challenges.
