Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our program strongly emphasizes project-based learning as a means of bridging the gap between theory and practice. Students engage in both mini-projects throughout their academic journey and a final-year thesis or capstone project that serves as a culmination of their learning.
The structure of these projects is designed to mirror real-world business scenarios, encouraging students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and apply their knowledge creatively. Mini-projects are typically undertaken in groups and span across multiple semesters, allowing for iterative development and feedback from faculty and industry mentors.
The final-year capstone project involves a comprehensive research or implementation task that addresses a significant challenge faced by an organization. Students work closely with a faculty mentor and often collaborate with industry partners to ensure relevance and impact. The evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, presentation quality, peer review scores, and the potential for commercialization or further research.
Students have the flexibility to select projects based on their interests and career goals, ensuring that they gain meaningful experience aligned with their future plans. Faculty mentors are selected based on their expertise in relevant areas, providing students with personalized guidance throughout the process.
