Students work on case studies involving major infrastructure developments and learn to use software tools for managing complex construction operations.
- Healthcare Robotics: Combines engineering with biomedical applications to develop robotic systems that assist in patient care, surgery, rehabilitation, diagnostics, and telemedicine. Students explore topics such as surgical robotics, prosthetics, exoskeletons, medical imaging, and bio-inspired design principles.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly emphasizes project-based learning to foster innovation, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving capabilities. Students are encouraged to initiate projects from their early semesters, working closely with faculty advisors to refine ideas and implement solutions.
Mini-Projects
Throughout the program, students undertake mini-projects that serve as stepping stones toward larger capstone initiatives. These projects typically span one semester and involve small teams (3-5 members) tackling specific engineering challenges under faculty supervision. Mini-projects are assessed based on innovation, technical execution, presentation quality, and peer evaluation.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project is a significant component of the final year curriculum, requiring students to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of their chosen field. The project involves identifying a relevant problem, conducting literature review, designing a solution, implementing it through experimentation or simulation, and presenting findings in written reports and oral presentations.
Students select projects based on their interests, faculty availability, and available resources. Faculty mentors guide students throughout the process, providing feedback, suggesting improvements, and ensuring adherence to academic standards. Successful completion of the capstone project often leads to publication opportunities, patent filings, or startup incubation.
