- Eco-friendly Materials Engineering: Studies biodegradable polymers, composite materials, and green manufacturing techniques that reduce environmental impact.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department believes in experiential learning through project-based instruction. Students begin working on small-scale projects from their second year, progressing to larger capstone projects in their final year. Projects are selected based on industry needs, faculty expertise, and student interest.
Mandatory mini-projects include:
- Designing a wastewater treatment plant for a local community
- Developing an air quality monitoring system for urban areas
- Creating a sustainable housing model using locally available materials
The final-year thesis/capstone project requires students to solve a real-world environmental problem under the guidance of faculty mentors. Projects are typically collaborative, involving industry partners or government agencies.
