School of Engineering and Technology

About the School

Be it an emphasis on collaborative learning, interaction with experts, professional skills, or relevant curriculum, every aspect of the academic programme at CMR University’s School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) is adequately addressed.

Through our high quality academic programmes, we groom students with the aim to make them industry-ready professionals armed with hands-on knowledge in their selected field of specialization.

Strong tie-ups with our globally known knowledge partners and CMR Group’s legacy in the field of education complements this unique learning journey at CMR University.

Our Methodology

Emphasis on Creativity and Innovation

An old Chinese proverb states “I listen, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.” Along the same lines, the University curriculum gives importance to ‘learning by doing’ through hands-on, activity-based exercises. Creativity, Design Thinking and innovation modules are an integral part of the majority of academic programmes offered at CMRU. Faculty members are also trained in Design Thinking, and they apply these tools in planning classroom sessions and student activities.

Focus on Collaborative Learning

We believe that the process of sharing ideas, knowledge and experience is the key. Collaborative learning allows students to engage in positive ways that lead to the development of their organizational skills, their ability to teamwork, and the art of giving and receiving feedback.

At CMRU, a unique component of student assessment criteria is the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). The CCE measures students’ abilities through their contribution to various activities, team projects and case studies. These modules are structured in ways that make peer learning an integral part of every course. Each student is an active participant in the learning process and the role of a professor is that of a facilitator. Instruction is designed to engage students in learning experiences that enable them to not only learn concepts but also to develop greater insights towards practical application.

Diverse Student Body

The student body at CMR University is culturally diverse and unique. Our students hail from across India and nearly 60 countries worldwide. With such a wide-ranging representation of culture, people and places, the University campus is an ethnically diverse microcosm in the city of Bengaluru. In this environment, it is easy for students to develop an appreciation and respect for cultural differences, and become aware of the unconscious assumptions and behaviours that influence interactions.
