Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our approach to project-based learning emphasizes experiential education, where students apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. Projects are structured to mirror real-world challenges, encouraging collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation.
The mini-projects begin in the second semester, with students forming teams of 4-6 members to tackle case studies or business problems assigned by faculty. Evaluation criteria include team performance, presentation quality, analytical depth, and adherence to deadlines.
The final-year thesis/capstone project involves extensive research and development under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Students must present their findings to an industry panel, ensuring that their work meets professional standards and has practical relevance.
Project selection is guided by student interests, faculty availability, and industry demand. Regular progress reviews ensure timely completion and quality output. The department provides dedicated lab spaces and software tools to support project development.
