Courses:

Most of these courses have been conducted multiple times over the past nine years. The primary objective is to engage learners and facilitate them to find their motivation in each course in a practical, real world based and personalized manner. The courses should add some significant meaning to the learners in terms of skills and comprehension of the workings of the world (both experimental and cerebral are of equal importance, learn by doing is the motto). The learners are encouraged to integrate science and engineering, academic and real world and experimental and simulation techniques.
