- Internet of Things (IoT) Applications: Focuses on connecting physical devices through the internet, covering sensor networks, embedded systems, and cloud integration.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department places a strong emphasis on project-based learning to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Projects are designed to simulate real-world engineering challenges and encourage innovation and teamwork.
The structure of these projects includes mini-projects in earlier semesters, followed by a comprehensive final-year thesis or capstone project. Mini-projects typically last 2–3 months and involve working in teams of 3–5 students on tasks related to specific engineering disciplines.
Final-year projects are more extensive and often involve collaboration with industry partners or faculty research groups. Students select their projects based on personal interest, available resources, and guidance from faculty mentors. The evaluation criteria include design innovation, technical execution, presentation quality, and peer feedback.
