Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Roorkee College Of Engineering follows a project-based learning approach that integrates theory with practice. Students begin working on projects from their second year, culminating in a capstone thesis during their final year. The department emphasizes problem-solving, innovation, and collaboration through hands-on experiences.
The Mini-Project (Year 2) requires students to design and build a prototype based on a given problem statement. These projects are evaluated using rubrics that assess creativity, technical competency, teamwork, and presentation skills.
The Final-Year Thesis is a significant research project where students work under faculty supervision to address an industry-relevant challenge. Students select topics in consultation with their mentors, ensuring alignment with current trends and real-world applications.
Faculty members play a crucial role in guiding students through the project selection process. They recommend topics based on their expertise and industry connections, ensuring that projects are both academically rigorous and practically valuable.
