Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department follows a robust project-based learning approach that emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. Students are encouraged to select projects aligned with their interests or industry needs.
Mini-projects are assigned in the third year, focusing on practical implementation of theoretical concepts. These projects are evaluated based on design methodology, execution quality, documentation, and presentation skills.
The final-year thesis/capstone project requires students to conduct independent research or develop a complete engineering solution. Faculty mentors guide students throughout the process, ensuring academic rigor and innovation.
Project selection involves a proposal submission, followed by review by faculty members. Students are expected to present their progress regularly and submit detailed reports at milestones.
