Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is rooted in experiential education that bridges theory and practice. Students engage in both individual and group projects throughout their program, culminating in a capstone project during the final semester. Mini-projects are introduced in the second year, allowing students to apply concepts learned in core courses to real-world scenarios. These projects often involve collaboration with industry partners or faculty-research initiatives.
The structure of these projects includes problem identification, data collection, analysis, and presentation phases. Evaluation criteria emphasize critical thinking, teamwork, innovation, and communication skills. Faculty mentors guide students through each phase, ensuring alignment with academic standards and industry relevance.
For the final-year thesis or capstone project, students select topics aligned with their interests and career goals. They work closely with faculty advisors to refine research questions, develop methodologies, and disseminate findings through presentations and written reports. The capstone project is a significant component of the program, demonstrating mastery of advanced concepts and contribution to management literature.
