The project-based learning model includes both mini-projects and a final-year thesis, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles and their applications.
Mini-Projects
Mini-projects are assigned in the early semesters to help students apply theoretical concepts to practical problems. These projects are typically completed in groups and are evaluated based on technical content, presentation, and teamwork. The projects are designed to be challenging yet achievable, allowing students to build confidence and develop problem-solving skills.
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 work on a comprehensive engineering problem. Students work closely with faculty mentors to select a project topic, develop a research plan, and execute the project. The project is evaluated based on originality, technical depth, and presentation quality. The capstone project often leads to publications or patents, providing students with a strong foundation for their future careers.
Project Selection and Faculty Mentorship
Students are encouraged to select projects that align with their interests and career goals. The department provides a wide range of project topics, including industry-sponsored projects, research projects, and innovation challenges.
