The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes hands-on experience and collaborative problem-solving. Students engage in mandatory mini-projects throughout their academic journey, starting from the first semester. These projects involve team collaboration, technical documentation, and presentations to faculty mentors.
Mini-projects are designed to reinforce concepts learned in core courses while encouraging creativity and innovation. Each project is evaluated based on technical implementation, originality, teamwork, and presentation quality. Students receive feedback from both faculty and peers to improve their skills and understanding.
The final-year thesis/capstone project represents the culmination of students' learning experience. Projects are selected based on student interests, faculty expertise, and industry relevance. Faculty mentors guide students through the research or development process, ensuring that projects meet academic standards and industry expectations.
