Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Om Sterling Global University Hisar strongly believes that project-based learning is essential for developing competent engineers who can apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems. The program integrates project work throughout the curriculum, with students working on both mini-projects and capstone projects.
Mini Projects
Mini projects are assigned during the second year of study, allowing students to explore specific engineering challenges in small teams. These projects typically last for 2-3 months and involve problem identification, literature review, experimental design, data collection, and solution presentation. Students receive guidance from faculty mentors and participate in peer review sessions.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a significant component of the program, providing students with an opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of engineering principles through independent research or innovative design. Students choose a topic aligned with their interests and career goals, often in collaboration with industry partners or faculty members.
Project Selection and Mentorship
Students are encouraged to select projects based on their interests, but they must align with departmental requirements and available resources. Faculty mentors are assigned based on the project domain, ensuring that students receive expert guidance throughout their research journey. Regular progress meetings and milestone evaluations help ensure timely completion of the project.
