Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Civil Engineering program at Shri Krishna University Chhatarpur places a strong emphasis on project-based learning to ensure that students gain practical experience and apply their knowledge to real-world problems. The program's approach to project-based learning is designed to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
The mandatory mini-projects in the second and third years provide students with opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems. These projects are typically conducted in small teams and involve research, design, and analysis of specific engineering challenges. Students are guided by faculty mentors and are encouraged to work with industry partners to ensure that projects are relevant and practical.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive, semester-long project that requires students to design and develop a complete engineering solution. Students work on a project that addresses a real-world challenge, often in collaboration with industry partners or government agencies. The project is supervised by a faculty mentor and involves multiple phases, including problem identification, literature review, design, implementation, and evaluation.
Students are encouraged to select projects that align with their interests and career goals. The project selection process involves discussions with faculty mentors, industry partners, and academic advisors to ensure that students choose projects that are both challenging and relevant. The evaluation criteria for projects include technical merit, innovation, feasibility, and presentation quality.
