Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of the curriculum. Students are encouraged to engage in both individual and group projects that mirror real-world engineering challenges.
The mandatory mini-projects are designed to help students apply theoretical concepts to practical problems. These projects are typically completed in the second and third years and are evaluated based on technical proficiency, creativity, and teamwork.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a significant undertaking that allows students to demonstrate their mastery of engineering principles. Students select a project topic in consultation with faculty mentors and work on it throughout the final year.
Students can choose from a wide range of project topics, including emerging technologies, industry challenges, and societal needs. Faculty mentors are selected based on their expertise and availability, ensuring that students receive appropriate guidance.
The evaluation criteria for projects include technical depth, innovation, presentation quality, and documentation. Students are also encouraged to present their work at conferences and competitions to gain additional exposure and feedback.
