Flavours of Research: Learning Through Investigative Projects in Multidisciplinary Contexts
This flagship annual summer workshop draws students from across the colleges of DU and also many from outside Delhi. Nearly all faculty members from the Science Departments of MH join as mentors and facilitators.
The workshop is for six-weeks duration every year just after the even semester examinations. The students often extend the association and carry the work beyond class hours over the duration of the year as the college extends to them all facilities. This programme provides an excellent opportunity to develop and implement innovations with an advanced and motivated cohort. Going beyond teaching-learning in the classroom, it aims to provide undergraduate students opportunities for guided as well as independent research in multidisciplinary contexts. This programme provides an excellent opportunity to develop and implement innovations with an advanced and motivated cohort.
An Orientation Programme sets the stage for independent curiosity driven work. Students team up in accordance with research interests and work collaboratively guided by faculty mentor(s). Academic and skill enhancement exercises; hands-on workshop training; product development; and lectures by experts supplement the research experience. Students present their work through a Research Symposium later in the year. A Poster Conference is also introduced in this academic year 2020-21.
