Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department believes that project-based learning is fundamental to developing practical skills and fostering innovation. The curriculum integrates mini-projects throughout the academic journey, culminating in a final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-Projects Structure
Mini-projects are introduced starting from the second year. These projects are typically team-based and last for one semester. Students choose topics aligned with their interests or industry needs. Each project involves:
- Problem identification and literature review
- Design and implementation planning
- Development phase with regular progress updates
- Testing and evaluation
- Presentation and documentation
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The final-year project is a significant undertaking that integrates all learned concepts. Students work closely with faculty mentors to define research questions or development challenges. The process includes:
- Proposal preparation and approval
- Research methodology and experimentation
- System design and prototyping
- Testing and validation
- Final presentation and report writing
Project Selection and Mentorship
Students are encouraged to propose project ideas during their third year. The department maintains a database of potential projects based on faculty research interests and industry collaborations. Students select mentors based on compatibility with their chosen topics, ensuring personalized guidance throughout the process.
