Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The final-year thesis represents the culmination of the student’s academic journey. Students select a topic in consultation with faculty advisors, conduct research or develop an innovative solution, and present their findings to a panel of experts. The project must demonstrate originality, technical depth, and practical relevance.
Faculty Mentorship
Each student is paired with a faculty mentor who guides them through the project process, provides feedback on progress, and ensures alignment with academic rigor and industry relevance. Mentors are selected based on their expertise and availability, ensuring personalized attention for each student.
Evaluation Criteria
Projects are evaluated based on multiple criteria including technical execution, innovation, presentation quality, teamwork, and adherence to timelines. A rubric is used to ensure consistent grading across all projects, promoting fairness and transparency in assessment.
