Pedagogy for Course Delivery:

The course would be covered under theory lectures. 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.
