Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our approach to project-based learning is rooted in the belief that students learn best when they actively engage with real-world problems and collaborate with peers. This methodology encourages critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and professional communication.
Mini-projects are assigned at the end of each semester and typically span 3-4 weeks. These projects allow students to apply theoretical concepts learned in class to practical situations. Projects are evaluated based on creativity, execution quality, presentation skills, and teamwork.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that spans the entire academic year. Students select a topic relevant to their field of interest and work under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The project involves extensive research, data collection, analysis, and presentation preparation.
Students have significant autonomy in selecting their projects and mentors. They are encouraged to align their projects with current industry trends or personal career aspirations. Faculty mentors provide guidance on research methodologies, literature review, and technical execution throughout the process.
