Department Head's Message
Our vision is to create unique, outstanding, multi-skilled, creative designers who can address critical real-life problem scenarios through their implicit and explicit knowledge. Our design curriculums are rich knowledge sources that could address theoretical, scientific, technological, and practical subject domains. It is a rich composite of theory and hands-on practice to give a perfect learning experience. Our teaching and learning are not limited to the fixed boundaries of the design studio. We are encouraging students to learn by doing while stepping out from the conventional framework of teaching and learning. Students are motivated to explore, inspire, feel and see real-life scenarios through the implicit understanding of the problem domain. We give individual, student-oriented, face-to-face collaboration in order to build creativity and confidence. Students are learning through direct peer guidance and are encouraged to defend their innovative design concepts and solutions through the logical reasoning process.
