Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department adheres to a robust project-based learning framework that emphasizes experiential education and critical thinking skills. Mini-projects are introduced in the early semesters, focusing on fundamental concepts through practical application. These projects are designed to enhance problem-solving capabilities and foster teamwork among students.
Students select projects based on their interests and career aspirations, with guidance from faculty mentors who provide academic support and industry insights. The final-year thesis or capstone project allows students to pursue independent research or collaborate on innovative solutions with external partners. Evaluation criteria include technical depth, innovation, presentation quality, and collaborative effort.
