Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Students begin their journey with small-scale projects in early semesters, gradually progressing to complex capstone initiatives that address real-world problems.
Mini-projects are assigned at the end of each semester and evaluated based on technical implementation, documentation quality, team collaboration, and presentation effectiveness. These projects often involve solving industry-relevant challenges provided by corporate partners or faculty-led research initiatives.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a significant component of the program, requiring students to select a topic aligned with their specialization and work under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Projects are typically multi-phase, involving literature review, problem formulation, experimental design, implementation, testing, and documentation.
Students are encouraged to propose innovative ideas or contribute to ongoing research projects within the department. The selection process involves a proposal submission followed by a formal approval from the academic committee, ensuring alignment with departmental goals and available resources.
