Project-Based Learning Approach

Mini-Projects Structure
Mini-projects are assigned during the second semester of the program and typically last four weeks. Each project is designed to address a specific business problem or opportunity identified by industry partners or faculty members. Students work in teams of 3-5 individuals, with each member contributing unique skills and perspectives to solve complex issues.
Projects are evaluated based on several criteria including feasibility, innovation, impact assessment, presentation quality, and teamwork effectiveness. Faculty mentors provide guidance throughout the project lifecycle, helping students navigate challenges and refine their solutions.
Final-Year Capstone Project
The final capstone project is a comprehensive, semester-long initiative that allows students to apply all the knowledge and skills acquired during the program. Projects can be either industry-sponsored or student-initiated, with approval from faculty advisors.
Students select their projects in consultation with potential mentors who have expertise in relevant fields. The selection process considers factors such as student interests, industry relevance, mentor availability, and resource constraints.
The capstone project involves extensive research, data collection, analysis, and solution development. Students must present their findings to a panel of faculty members and industry experts, demonstrating their ability to think critically and communicate effectively.
Evaluation Criteria
Projects are assessed using a rubric that evaluates technical competence, creativity, ethical considerations, communication skills, and overall contribution to business practice. The evaluation process includes peer reviews, mentor feedback, and final presentations to stakeholders.
