Advanced Departmental Electives
The department offers several advanced elective courses that allow students to specialize in niche areas of web development:
- AI-Powered Web Interfaces: This course explores how artificial intelligence can be integrated into web applications, focusing on NLP, computer vision, and recommendation engines.
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Students learn to develop PWAs that function offline, support push notifications, and provide app-like experiences on the web.
- GraphQL & Microservices: An advanced look at API design patterns using GraphQL alongside microservices architecture for scalable web platforms.
- WebAssembly Fundamentals: A deep dive into WebAssembly as a compilation target for performance-critical web applications, including integration with JavaScript environments.
- Web Accessibility Standards: Focuses on WCAG compliance and inclusive design principles to ensure websites are accessible to users with disabilities.
- Serverless Computing: Explores serverless architecture using platforms like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions for building event-driven web applications.
- Web Performance Optimization: Covers techniques for improving loading times, rendering efficiency, and overall user experience on modern web platforms.
- Secure Coding Practices: In-depth exploration of secure coding principles, including OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and defense-in-depth strategies in web applications.
- Real-Time Web Applications: Students learn to build real-time features using WebSocket protocols, Firebase, and Node.js for chatbots, live dashboards, and collaborative tools.
- DevOps & CI/CD Pipeline: Focuses on automating deployment workflows using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Kubernetes for continuous integration and delivery in web environments.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The program emphasizes project-based learning as a core pedagogical approach. Students engage in both mini-projects and a final-year thesis or capstone project throughout their academic journey.
Mini-projects begin in the second year, with students working in teams to develop functional prototypes of web applications under faculty supervision. These projects are evaluated based on technical implementation, usability, and documentation quality.
The capstone project spans the final two semesters, where students select a topic aligned with their specialization area. Projects are chosen through a proposal submission process involving faculty mentors who guide students from concept to completion.
Evaluation criteria include innovation, technical depth, scalability, and presentation quality. The final project is showcased at an annual conference attended by industry leaders, academics, and investors, providing networking opportunities for graduates.
