Engineering Clinics
A Project-Based Learning Approach to Engineering Education


VIT-AP University is offering a unique project-based learning courses called “Engineering Clinics”. These courses provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the engineering concepts and principles they learn in the classroom, while also developing their critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.

Students form interdisciplinary teams and choose a topic to work on, developing a prototype that addresses the problem at hand. At the end of the semester, students showcase their prototypes at the Engineering Clinics Expo, where industrial experts assess their work and provide feedback. The top three projects are awarded reimbursement for all expenses incurred.
