Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Institute's approach to project-based learning is grounded in the belief that real-world problem-solving requires a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. Mini-projects are integrated throughout the curriculum, starting from early semesters and scaling up in complexity as students progress.
These projects are designed to simulate industry scenarios, encouraging critical thinking and collaborative teamwork. Students are assigned to teams based on their interests and academic strengths, allowing them to leverage complementary skills while building leadership capabilities.
The evaluation criteria for mini-projects include design documentation, presentation quality, peer review scores, and innovation factor. Faculty mentors guide students through each stage of the project lifecycle, from ideation to final implementation.
Final-year thesis or capstone projects are undertaken in collaboration with industry partners or research labs, providing students with exposure to cutting-edge technologies and real-world challenges. These projects often lead to publications, patents, or startup ventures, reinforcing the Institute's commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship.
