PROJECTS

Engineering combines both theoretical and practical knowledge in a complex way. Projects serve as the crucial link between these two aspects, providing the essential balance needed in the corporate world.

Summer Research Internship Project

A Summer Research Internship (SRI) Project is an opportunity for students, to gain in-depth, hands-on research experience during the summer break. The primary purpose of an SRI project is to expose students to the research process, enhance their technical skills, and develop their problem-solving abilities within a structured, intensive period.

VIP Project

Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) involve design/discovery efforts involving students, researchers and faculty in their areas of expertise. VIP projects ambitious and long-term. Working together productively in a diverse team to find creative solutions to the problems or to make progress on a project is a key employability skill in the 21^st century.

VIP teams are:

• Multidisciplinary – drawing students from all disciplines on campus.
• Vertically integrated – a mix of B.Tech students starting from III semester, M.Tech students and Ph.D research scholars.
• Long Term – each student may participate in a project for up to two / three years.

It allow students to gain unique, real-world experience that enhances their CVs, learn skills associated with interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary group work, and emerge with an increased awareness of global problems and their role in tackling them, making them more engaged and informed global citizens.

The continuity, technical depth, and disciplinary breadth of these teams are intended to:

• Learn and practice diverse skill-sets, make substantial technical contributions to the team project(s), and experience many different roles on a large, multidisciplinary design/discovery team.
• Enable the completion of large-scale design/discovery projects that are of significant benefit to faculty members’ research programs.

Side Projects

A Side Project (SP) is an independent project that a student work on outside of your primary responsibilities. Side projects are often started to explore personal interests, build skills, or work on something creatively fulfilling without the constraints of routine academic settings. These projects provide an opportunity for hands-on learning, creativity, and personal growth, and they often become valuable additions to a portfolio or resume. It covers multiple areas of technologies from hardware to software and client side apps to backend cloud services.

Software Engineering Project

The software engineering project (SEP) allow the students to apply engineering principles, design practices, and technical skills to create well-structured, functional, and reliable software solutions. These projects are valuable in both academic and professional contexts, as they develop competencies needed for real-world software development.

Mentor	Semester	Team Size	Duration	Project Outcome

Multi-disciplinary Community Engaged Project

Multi-disciplinary Community Engaged (MCE) project allows students to create impactful, collaborative initiatives that address community challenges through the combined expertise of diverse academic disciplines. These projects not only benefit the community but also enhance the educational experience of students, fostering their development as informed, responsible citizens.

Mentor	Semester	Team Size	Duration	Project Outcome
Faculty Mentor	IV	Up to 3 Members	1 Year	Empowering students to make an impact on communities while gaining technical expertise

Machine Learning Project

Machine Learning (ML) projects allow students to apply the mathematical and statistical knowledge as well as principles of algorithms and data structures to solve real-world problems. ML project develops a range of skills, from data preprocessing and feature engineering to model building, evaluation, and tuning. These projects help students to understand how machine learning can be applied to various fields, such as healthcare, finance, and robotics. It involve working with large datasets, complex models, and intricate problem-solving processes. These projects often involve using modern libraries, frameworks, and technologies, such as TensorFlow, Keras, Matplotlib, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn.

Full Semester Internship / Capstone Project

1. Full Semester Internship

Full Semester Internship (FSI) project allow students to spend one full semester in an identified industry, R&D organization or another academic institution / University and has to carry out the internship as per the guidelines of that industry or institute. The FSI work shall be innovative in nature and explore the research bent of the mind of the student. These projects help bridge the gap between academia and industry, giving students a practical portfolio piece that prepares them for their future careers.

Mentor	Semester	Team Size	Duration	Project Outcome
Faculty Mentor and Industry Mentor	VII / VIII	Individual	1 Semester	Journal Article / Patent / Conference Paper

2. Capstone Project

A Capstone project allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems, enhancing critical thinking, teamwork, and project management skills. These projects involve a variety of tasks, such as designing, building, and testing solutions.
