Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Project-based learning is a cornerstone of our engineering curriculum, emphasizing hands-on experience and practical application of theoretical knowledge. The program integrates project-based learning throughout all four years, ensuring that students develop problem-solving skills and gain real-world experience.
The mandatory mini-projects in the first and second years provide students with foundational experience in project planning, execution, and presentation. These projects are designed to reinforce classroom learning and introduce students to the engineering design process. Students work in teams to solve practical problems, developing skills in project management, communication, and collaboration.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a significant component of the program, allowing students to apply their knowledge to a comprehensive engineering challenge. Students select projects based on their interests and career goals, working closely with faculty mentors. The project involves research, design, implementation, and documentation, culminating in a presentation and report.
Project selection is facilitated through a structured process that considers student interests, faculty expertise, and industry relevance. Students are encouraged to propose innovative ideas and collaborate with industry partners on real-world projects. Faculty mentors provide guidance and support throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring that students develop both technical and professional skills.
