Project-Based Learning Philosophy
At The Global Open University Dimapur, we believe that practical experience is essential for mastering electrical engineering principles. Our project-based learning approach begins in the third year with mandatory mini-projects, followed by a comprehensive final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-projects are typically completed over two semesters and involve working on real-world problems proposed by industry partners or faculty members. These projects are evaluated based on technical depth, innovation, teamwork, and presentation skills.
The final-year thesis is an individual research endeavor that allows students to explore a specialized area of interest under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students must submit a detailed proposal, conduct literature review, perform experiments or simulations, and present their findings in a formal thesis defense.
Project selection is done through a structured process involving faculty preferences, student interests, and availability of resources. Students are encouraged to collaborate with peers from different disciplines to foster interdisciplinary thinking and innovation.
