Project-Based Learning Philosophy
At Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya Haridwar Faculty Of Engineering And Technology, project-based learning is central to our educational philosophy. It fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration among students while bridging the gap between theory and practice.
The structure of project-based learning begins with a mini-project in the seventh semester, where students work in teams to solve real-world engineering problems. These projects are selected from current industry needs or faculty research initiatives, ensuring relevance and impact.
Final-year thesis/capstone projects involve independent research under the supervision of faculty mentors. Students choose topics aligned with their interests and career goals, often resulting in innovative solutions or publishable research papers. Evaluation criteria include technical proficiency, presentation skills, documentation quality, and innovation level.
Faculty members guide students throughout the project lifecycle, offering regular feedback and mentorship. The process culminates in a public defense where students present their work to a panel of experts, simulating real-world professional environments.
