Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's approach to project-based learning is rooted in the belief that practical experience enhances theoretical understanding and prepares students for real-world challenges. Projects are assigned at different levels of complexity throughout the program, starting with mini-projects in early semesters and culminating in capstone projects in the final year.
Mini-projects are typically completed within a semester and focus on applying concepts learned in core courses to solve specific problems. These projects encourage teamwork, critical thinking, and communication skills.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that allows students to explore an area of interest in depth. Students work closely with faculty mentors to define research questions, design methodologies, and evaluate outcomes. Projects often involve collaboration with industry partners or research institutions, providing valuable exposure to current trends and practices.
Project selection is guided by student interests, faculty expertise, and alignment with industry needs. Students are encouraged to propose innovative ideas that address societal challenges or leverage emerging technologies.
