Project-Based Learning Approach
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes experiential education that bridges the gap between theory and practice. Students engage in mini-projects throughout their academic journey, culminating in a final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-projects typically involve solving real-world problems provided by industry partners or academic researchers. Students work in teams under the supervision of assigned faculty mentors, ensuring mentorship, guidance, and feedback throughout the process.
The final-year capstone project requires students to demonstrate mastery of core competencies through an independent research or business development initiative. Projects are evaluated based on innovation, feasibility, impact, and presentation quality. Students often present their findings at national conferences or publish them in academic journals.
