Detailed Departmental Elective Courses
Advanced CAD Applications (ENG305) is designed to equip students with in-depth knowledge of industry-standard software tools. This course covers advanced features of AutoCAD, including parametric modeling, dynamic blocks, and integration with other Autodesk products like Revit and 3ds Max.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Design (ENG405) introduces students to BIM concepts, enabling them to create intelligent models that support collaborative design processes across different disciplines. Students learn to use Navisworks, Revit, and other BIM platforms to simulate construction projects and identify potential conflicts early in the design phase.
Specialized CAD Modules (ENG505) allows students to explore niche areas such as animation and visualization, digital fabrication, and generative design. These modules are tailored based on student interest and industry demand, providing flexibility in skill development.
Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals (ENG503) explores how AI can be integrated with CAD systems to automate repetitive tasks, optimize designs, and improve decision-making processes. Students gain hands-on experience with machine learning libraries and apply them to real-world engineering problems.
Project Management (ENG504) teaches students how to plan, execute, and monitor engineering projects effectively. Topics include resource allocation, risk assessment, timeline management, and team coordination—all essential skills for successful career advancement in the design industry.
Capstone Project I (ENG602) serves as a transition between academic learning and professional practice. Students work in teams to complete an end-to-end project that mirrors real-world challenges faced by design firms. This module emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Advanced Project Workshop (ENG605) builds upon the foundational knowledge gained in earlier semesters. Students refine their technical abilities through guided projects that involve complex modeling, simulation, and data analysis using industry-standard tools.
Industry Collaboration Projects (ENG702) provides students with direct exposure to current industry practices by working on live projects assigned by partner companies. These collaborations ensure that students stay updated with evolving trends and technologies while gaining practical experience in professional environments.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ENG703) focuses on developing entrepreneurial mindsets among students. It covers ideation, business modeling, prototyping, and pitching strategies—all crucial for those who wish to start their own ventures or contribute to innovation within existing organizations.
Technical Writing and Presentation (ENG705) emphasizes the importance of clear communication in engineering contexts. Students learn to write technical reports, prepare presentations, and present complex ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's approach to project-based learning is centered around real-world problem-solving and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students are encouraged to think critically, innovate, and apply theoretical concepts to practical situations throughout their academic journey.
The mini-projects introduced in the second year focus on developing fundamental skills in design and modeling. These projects are typically small-scale and serve as building blocks for more complex assignments later in the program.
As students advance, they participate in larger, multi-disciplinary capstone projects that require teamwork, project planning, and effective communication with stakeholders. These projects often involve partnerships with industry organizations, providing students with exposure to professional environments.
Students select their final-year thesis topics in consultation with faculty mentors based on their interests and career goals. The evaluation criteria for these projects emphasize originality, technical depth, and practical relevance. Regular progress reviews ensure that students stay on track and receive timely feedback from advisors.
