In a vibrant display of academic synergy, the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) & Computer Applications (CA) jointly organized a technical session on April 5, 2025, at Unity Hall (Mini Auditorium). Themed around “Project-Based Learning Techniques” and “Software Testing Tools and Techniques,” the event brought together students, educators, and experts for a knowledge-rich day of learning and interaction.
With a goal to bridge theoretical understanding with hands-on application, the session introduced participants to modern approaches that are reshaping the educational and tech landscapes.
Session 1: Project-Based Learning Techniques by Mr. Adarsh Srivastava
The event kicked off with an enlightening session led by Mr. Adarsh Srivastava, who explored the concept of Project-Based Learning (PBL). Emphasizing the shift from traditional rote learning to experience-driven education, Mr. Srivastava showcased how real-world project integration could fuel creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
Through practical examples and detailed case studies, he highlighted the transformative impact of PBL in cultivating industry-ready problem solvers. Students learned how engaging with real-life challenges not only strengthens technical skills but also boosts confidence and motivation.
“Project-based learning isn’t just an academic method—it’s a mindset that prepares you for the complexities of the real world.” – Mr. Adarsh Srivastava
Session 2: Software Testing Tools and Techniques by Dr. Partap Singh
The second session was helmed by Dr. Partap Singh, who delivered a dynamic talk on Software Testing Tools and Techniques—a crucial area in modern software development. He provided a detailed walk-through of manual vs. automated testing, various tools like Selenium, JUnit, and TestNG, and real-world applications of these techniques.
The session stressed the importance of software testing in ensuring quality, functionality, and security in today’s tech products. Dr. Singh also shared insights into best practices, common pitfalls, and industry expectations, making the session particularly impactful for students aiming for careers in software development and quality assurance.
“Quality software isn’t a result of coding alone—it’s the result of rigorous testing and continuous improvement.” – Dr. Partap Singh
Cross-Disciplinary Learning & Student Engagement
One of the key strengths of this event was its interdisciplinary approach, drawing participants from various academic backgrounds. The fusion of mechanical and computer science perspectives enriched the dialogue and expanded the learning horizons of everyone involved.
The event culminated in an interactive Q&A session, where students actively posed questions, shared thoughts, and engaged in stimulating discussions with both speakers. The vibrant exchange of ideas underscored the curiosity and enthusiasm of Quantum University’s student community.
“Learning came alive today through projects, processes, and people who inspired us to think beyond textbooks.”
A Resounding Success in Knowledge Sharing
The technical session was more than just a seminar—it was a catalyst for academic and personal growth. Students left the hall equipped with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a renewed motivation to learn by doing. Faculty members praised the initiative for promoting experiential learning and fostering skills that are vital in the contemporary workforce.
By organizing this impactful event, the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and CSE & CA demonstrated a strong commitment to student-centric learning and interdisciplinary collaboration.
