Syllabus: Students undertake a significant project that either develops new knowledge or addresses an engineering problem of interest applying mechatronic tools and technologies. Students are free to choose from a range of projects offered by the faculty members as well as by external clients. The theory units that they learn in the classroom provide them with existing knowledge in the field whereas the undergraduate project provides them with an opportunity to demonstrate their inventiveness, degree of effort and self-management. skills. The project involves analytical, numerical or experimental investigation or design, which is carried out over a period of one year. The students submit their project work in the form of an undergraduate thesis, at the end of 2 consecutive semesters.
