Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly advocates for project-based learning as a cornerstone of engineering education. Students engage in both mini-projects during their second year and a capstone project in their final year. These projects are designed to simulate real-world engineering challenges, fostering creativity, teamwork, and professional communication skills.
Mini-projects are typically completed within 6-8 weeks and involve teams of 3-5 students working under faculty supervision. Projects may include designing a simple robot, developing an app prototype, or conducting a small-scale experiment in materials science.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that spans the entire academic year. Students select projects based on industry needs or personal interest, often collaborating with external partners. The process involves proposal development, literature review, design phase, implementation, testing, and presentation of results.
Faculty mentors guide students through each stage of the project lifecycle, providing technical expertise, feedback, and career guidance. Regular progress meetings ensure timely completion and quality outcomes. Projects are evaluated based on innovation, feasibility, documentation, and oral presentation skills.
