Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of the curriculum. This approach fosters deeper understanding by allowing students to engage in real-world problems and develop solutions through research, collaboration, and reflection.
Mini-projects are assigned throughout the program to encourage exploration of specific topics. These projects typically span 4-6 weeks and involve small teams working under faculty supervision. Students must present their findings and receive feedback from peers and mentors.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a significant undertaking that integrates all learned concepts. Students select a topic aligned with their interests and career goals, conduct independent research, and submit a comprehensive report. The process includes proposal development, literature review, methodology selection, data collection, analysis, and presentation.
Faculty mentors guide students throughout the project lifecycle, offering expertise, resources, and encouragement. Selection of projects is based on student interest, faculty availability, and relevance to current educational challenges.
