On graduation, apart from the domain specific knowledge, an engineering graduate is expected to have other basic skills like communication, leadership, teamwork, problem solving, planning, adaptability and flexibility. All these channelize engineering education to be experiential, practical, and up-to-date. In line with this at SDMIT, we constantly encourage students to prepare minor projects and major projects right from the IV semester level and showcase them at college and inter-collegiate exhibitions.
Moreover, SDMIT regularly conducts Hackathon, Ideathon, Bootcamp, workshops on Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Mobile App Development training, etc. and in the process, students learn marketing, budgeting, and accounting skills.
Further, by submitting weekly progress report and scheduling the task, students hone their documentation, presentation, and planning skills. To generate the financial support, students are encouraged to sell their ideas and products to possible sponsors.
Projects carried out by our students are selected for funding, and are sponsored by prestigious agencies such as:
- KSCST
- DST & Texas Instruments
- FAER McAfee Scholar Awards
- Anveshana
- VTU financial assistance for innovative project / VTU Avishkar scheme
