The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes experiential education that bridges theory and practice. Mini-projects are assigned in the third and fourth years to reinforce concepts learned in class. These projects involve small teams working under faculty supervision, allowing students to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges.
The final-year thesis or capstone project requires students to select a topic aligned with their specialization. Faculty mentors guide students throughout the process, ensuring that projects are innovative, research-driven, and relevant to industry trends. The evaluation criteria include originality, technical depth, presentation quality, and impact potential.
