The final-year capstone project is an individual or group endeavor that integrates all aspects of the program. Students select their topics in consultation with faculty mentors, ensuring alignment with current industry trends and research needs.
Students choose projects based on personal interest, career goals, and available resources. Faculty mentors are assigned based on expertise matching and availability. The selection process includes a proposal submission and review by the departmental committee.
