The CEPT Foundation Programme studio is an introduction for students fresh out of school to the rigor and work habits required by an undergraduate degree at CEPT University. The studio is conceptualized as a series of sequentially planned exercises, through which students develop skills and abilities, which are then deployed to address increasingly complex problems falling in four broad categories: visualize and draw, make and learn, anayse and interpret and conceptualise and represent. The exercises are designed to provide foundational skills for students across disciplines at CEPT, between which they maintain a balance. They also reflect an understanding that at the foundation level, these skills overlap to a large extent, and a varied array is of benefit to all students. The studio is taught through intensive 1–2 week long modules, focusing on a particular skill or ability, and a process that emphasizes ongoing feedback in addition to expert faculty lectures.

The study of Parimal Garden's trees is presented in A1-sized map done in a group of 3. The extreme left starts with information, detailing the layout and features of the garden. The central map pinpoints the precise locations of various tree types within Parimal Garden. On the right, three smaller maps depict shadows cast by the trees at different times throughout the day. At the bottom of the presentation are the names of the trees identified within the garden.

Here, the data is condensed into an infographic. The parameters taken into consideration were the height, age and shadows cast by the trees. The first chart is a bar graph which provides a count of each type of tree. The chart below is a scatter plot which relates the age of a tree to its height. A colour legend is provided to relate the trees on the bar graph to its name.

In the ''Joining Elements" exercise, the objective was to create a model using materials like metal sheet, metal pipe, metal rod and wood. It also served another purpose such as to research and select appropriate joinery techniques such as riveting for metal components, woodworking joinery for the wood piece, and other methods like using clams to join wood and metal. The challenge here was to explore how these different materials could be joined together using various joinery techniques to create a sturdy and stable structure. Additionally, the goal was to use up all the materials to their maximum extent while minimizing wastage.

The tower built up from the candy sticks was made in the group of 2.

A zoomed image of the tower showcases the different types of joinery that has been explored such as the cut joinery and vertical slit joinery. The black thread is used to keep the candy sticks intact and firm.
