Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly believes in project-based learning as a means to foster critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and practical skills among students. The approach encourages collaborative work, real-world application of theoretical concepts, and continuous feedback from faculty mentors.
Mini-projects are introduced from the second year onwards, allowing students to apply foundational knowledge in practical scenarios. These projects often involve teamwork, where students take on different roles such as project manager, developer, tester, or designer.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that integrates all aspects of the program. Students work closely with faculty mentors and industry partners to develop innovative solutions addressing real-world challenges. The evaluation criteria include technical depth, creativity, documentation quality, presentation skills, and overall impact of the project.
Students can select their projects based on personal interests or collaborate with faculty members working on ongoing research initiatives. Faculty mentors are assigned based on student preferences and the availability of resources in relevant domains. Regular progress meetings and milestone reviews ensure that projects stay on track and meet quality standards.
