Capstone Project I (ELN401): In this semester-long project, students apply their knowledge to solve a real-world problem in electronics. They select a domain-specific topic, conduct research, and develop a working prototype or solution.
Advanced Topics in AI (ELN402): This course focuses on advanced machine learning models, including reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Students work on end-to-end projects using state-of-the-art frameworks.
Research Methodology (ELN303): Designed for final-year students, this course introduces research methodologies, data analysis techniques, and scientific writing skills essential for academic or industrial R&D roles.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Electronics program at Maya Institute Of Technology And Management places a strong emphasis on project-based learning to bridge the gap between theory and practice. From the first year, students engage in mini-projects that reinforce classroom concepts and develop problem-solving skills. These projects are typically collaborative efforts, encouraging teamwork and communication.
Mini-projects are assigned every semester and must be completed within a specified timeframe. Each project is evaluated based on design quality, implementation, documentation, and presentation. Students are encouraged to propose innovative ideas and seek mentorship from faculty members.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is the culmination of the student's academic journey. Students work under the supervision of a faculty member on an advanced topic related to their specialization. The project spans two semesters and culminates in a written thesis and oral defense. Students are expected to demonstrate mastery in research, design, and technical communication.
Project selection is facilitated through a structured process involving interest surveys, faculty availability, and alignment with industry trends. Students can also propose their own projects, provided they meet academic standards and receive approval from the department head.
