Capstone Project I: This foundational project allows students to work on a real-world maintenance challenge under faculty supervision. It introduces students to the research process, data collection, and initial problem-solving strategies in industrial maintenance contexts.
Project Engineering and Design: Students engage in designing and implementing engineering solutions for specific maintenance problems. The course emphasizes creativity, innovation, and technical feasibility in project development.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department strongly believes in project-based learning as a transformative educational approach that bridges the gap between theory and practice. Projects are structured to simulate real-world scenarios, allowing students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways while developing essential professional skills.
The mandatory mini-projects begin in the third year and involve collaborative work with industry partners or faculty-led initiatives. These projects typically span several months and require students to identify problems, propose solutions, implement strategies, and present findings to stakeholders.
Final-year capstone projects are extensive, requiring students to conduct independent research or develop innovative maintenance solutions. Students select their projects in consultation with faculty mentors who guide them through the entire process, from conceptualization to final presentation.
Evaluation criteria for projects include technical depth, innovation, clarity of communication, teamwork, and adherence to deadlines. Faculty members evaluate student performance based on both individual contributions and collective outcomes, ensuring a balanced assessment of learning achievements.
