Students are expected to work closely with faculty mentors throughout this process. The project must demonstrate originality, technical depth, and practical relevance. A formal presentation is required at the end of the semester, where students defend their work before a panel of experts.
Projects are evaluated based on several criteria including:
Each project is assessed by a combination of faculty members, industry professionals, and peer reviewers to ensure fairness and comprehensiveness in evaluation.
Students select their projects through a structured process that involves proposal submission, mentor assignment, and milestone tracking. The selection process ensures that students are matched with mentors whose expertise aligns with their project interests.
Regular progress meetings and feedback sessions are conducted to monitor project development and address any challenges faced by teams. This support system helps students overcome obstacles and stay on track towards successful completion of their projects.
