- Capstone Project I: Students begin developing their final-year project under faculty supervision, focusing on problem identification, literature review, and initial design concepts.
- Capstone Project II: The final phase involves full implementation, testing, documentation, and presentation of the capstone project. Students present their work to industry experts and academic panels.
- Advanced Topics in Electronics: Covers emerging trends such as quantum computing, neuromorphic engineering, and sustainable electronics. Guest lectures from leading researchers provide insights into future directions.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly believes in experiential learning through project-based education. Students engage in both mini-projects during their second and third years and a comprehensive capstone project in the final year.
Mini-projects are assigned based on student interests and faculty expertise, encouraging exploration of niche areas within electronics engineering. These projects typically last 6-8 weeks and involve working with real datasets or physical prototypes.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a major undertaking spanning the entire semester. Students select topics in consultation with faculty mentors, who guide them through the process of designing, developing, testing, and documenting their solutions. The evaluation criteria include technical depth, innovation, presentation quality, and peer feedback.
Students are encouraged to propose project ideas that align with current industry needs or emerging technologies, fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. The department facilitates connections with startups and industry partners, providing opportunities for students to contribute to real-world challenges.
