Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is centered around experiential education that bridges the gap between academic theory and practical application. Projects are structured to mirror real-world business challenges, allowing students to apply learned concepts in simulated or actual environments.
Mini-projects begin in the first semester and continue through the third year. Each project has specific learning objectives tied to course outcomes and is evaluated using rubrics that assess both technical skills and soft skills like teamwork, communication, and critical thinking.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor where students work individually or in teams on a significant business problem identified by an industry partner. The process involves defining the issue, conducting research, proposing solutions, presenting findings, and receiving feedback from faculty and external experts.
Students select projects based on their interests, career goals, and availability of mentors. Faculty members guide students through each stage of the project lifecycle, ensuring alignment with industry standards and academic rigor.
