Pedagogy for Course Delivery:

The course would be covered under theory and laboratory. In addition to assigning project–based learning, early exposure to hands-on design to enhance the
motivation among the students. It incorporates designing of problems, analysis of solutions submitted by the students groups and how learning objectives were
achieved. Continuous evaluation of the students would be covered under quiz, viva etc.
