Detailed Course Descriptions
The department places a strong emphasis on project-based learning to ensure students gain practical experience and develop problem-solving skills. The curriculum includes mandatory mini-projects throughout the program, culminating in a final-year thesis or capstone project that integrates all learned concepts.
Mini-projects are designed to be completed in teams of 3-5 students under the supervision of faculty mentors. These projects allow students to explore real-world problems and apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts. Each mini-project has specific learning objectives, evaluation criteria, and deliverables that align with industry standards.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a significant component of the program, typically lasting 6 months. Students select their projects based on their interests and career goals, often collaborating with industry partners or research institutions. Faculty mentors guide students through the research process, helping them refine their ideas, conduct experiments, and present findings.
