Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our approach to project-based learning is grounded in the belief that students learn best when they engage actively in solving real-world problems. This philosophy drives our curriculum design, from foundational courses to capstone projects.
Mini-projects are integrated throughout the program, starting in the second year. These projects typically last one semester and require students to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios. They involve working in teams, developing project proposals, executing designs, and presenting results to faculty and peers.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a significant component of our program. Students select topics aligned with their interests or industry needs and work closely with faculty mentors throughout the process. The project culminates in a comprehensive report and oral presentation before a panel of experts.
Students choose projects based on their academic interests, career goals, and mentor availability. Faculty members guide students through the selection process, helping them identify feasible topics that offer meaningful learning experiences. The evaluation criteria include technical depth, innovation, feasibility, and impact on stakeholders.
