• Robotics and Automation: Students will design and implement robotic systems using sensors, actuators, and control algorithms. The course includes both simulation and physical prototyping phases, covering kinematics, dynamics, and autonomous navigation.
• VLSI Design for Modern Applications: This course focuses on the design and verification of very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits using modern EDA tools. Topics include logic synthesis, layout design, timing closure, and testability aspects relevant to semiconductor manufacturing.

Project-Based Learning Philosophy

The department at GOVT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE DAMOH strongly believes in project-based learning as a cornerstone of engineering education. This approach ensures that students not only understand theoretical concepts but also gain practical experience through hands-on experimentation and problem-solving.

Mini-projects are introduced early in the program, typically during the second year, allowing students to apply their knowledge in small-scale implementations. These projects are evaluated based on innovation, technical execution, teamwork, and presentation skills. Students are encouraged to propose their own project ideas or work on problems suggested by faculty members.

The final-year capstone project is a significant component of the curriculum, requiring students to complete an original research or development project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The project must demonstrate advanced technical competence and contribute to real-world applications within the field of electronics engineering.

Project Selection Process

Students can select their projects through a structured process involving proposal submissions, mentor matching, and approval by the academic committee. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who provides ongoing support throughout the project lifecycle. Regular progress reports and milestone reviews ensure that projects stay on track.

The department facilitates collaboration between students and industry partners, enabling projects to address genuine industry challenges. This not only enhances the relevance of student work but also increases their employability upon graduation.
