Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department at Truba College of Science and Technology believes that project-based learning is central to developing competent engineers who can apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. The curriculum includes mandatory mini-projects in the third and sixth semesters, followed by a comprehensive final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini projects are designed to provide students with hands-on experience in applying engineering concepts to solve practical problems. These projects involve team collaboration, research, design, prototyping, testing, and documentation. Students work under faculty supervision and receive structured guidance throughout the process.
The final-year thesis or capstone project allows students to explore a specialized area of interest within electrical engineering. Projects are selected based on student preferences, faculty expertise, and industry relevance. Faculty mentors guide students through each phase of the project, from problem identification to solution implementation and evaluation.
Students must submit progress reports at regular intervals and present their findings in formal seminars. Evaluation criteria include technical competency, creativity, innovation, presentation quality, and adherence to ethical standards. The project component ensures that students develop critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills essential for professional success.
