Nanotechnology and Materials Science: This elective introduces students to nanomaterials synthesis, characterization techniques, quantum mechanics, surface science, thin films, nanostructures, smart materials, and their applications in electronics, medicine, energy, and environmental sectors. Laboratory experiments involve scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is rooted in experiential education and collaborative inquiry. Students begin their journey with mini-projects during the second semester, focusing on fundamental concepts such as circuit design or basic programming. These projects are typically completed within 4-6 weeks under faculty supervision.
By the third year, students undertake more complex assignments related to specific specializations, such as designing a small-scale renewable energy system or developing a mobile application for data visualization. These projects often involve interdisciplinary collaboration and are evaluated based on technical execution, innovation, presentation quality, and peer review.
The final-year capstone project is a significant milestone where students work in groups of 3-5 individuals on a comprehensive engineering challenge identified by industry partners or faculty mentors. The project spans an entire semester, requiring extensive research, prototyping, documentation, and a final presentation to an external panel of experts. This culminating experience prepares students for professional roles and encourages them to think critically about real-world implications.
Faculty mentors are assigned based on student interests and project requirements, ensuring personalized guidance throughout the process. Regular milestones, progress reports, and milestone meetings facilitate continuous feedback and improvement. The evaluation criteria include technical proficiency, creativity, teamwork, presentation skills, and adherence to deadlines.
