Project-Based Learning Philosophy:
Our department strongly believes in experiential learning through project-based methodologies. Students engage in both mini-projects and final-year capstone projects throughout their academic journey. Mini-projects, typically undertaken in the third and fourth semesters, are designed to reinforce core concepts taught in class while allowing students to explore real-world applications.
The structure of these projects involves forming teams of 3-5 students who work under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Each team selects a relevant topic within logistics that aligns with current industry trends or research interests. Projects are evaluated based on technical soundness, innovation, presentation quality, and peer feedback.
For the final-year thesis/capstone project, students are encouraged to collaborate with industry partners or pursue independent research topics under faculty supervision. The capstone project requires a comprehensive report, an oral presentation, and a demonstration of the implemented solution or research outcome. This culminating experience ensures that students demonstrate mastery over their chosen area of specialization and are prepared for professional roles or further studies.
