New programme choice at IIT Delhi for JEE Advanced 2020 qualified students
New programme choice at IIT Delhi for JEE Advanced 2020 qualified students
New Delhi (India Science Wire):
More than sixteen lakh registrations have been made for the Joint Entrance Exam
(JEE) Advanced for the 2020-2021 session. This year the Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT) Delhi has something new to offer to the students. IIT Delhi
has launched a new undergraduate programme, Bachelors of Technology (B.Tech) in
Engineering and Computational Mechanics. The new programme will be run by the
Department of Applied Mechanics from the academic session 2020-21.
There would be an extra choice of course for
the students who will be opting IIT Delhi after qualifying JEE Advanced. The
students taking this course will be able to analyse complex interdisciplinary
phenomena relevant to problems in industry and cutting edge research through
experimentation, analysis and computation.
“The graduates of this programme are likely
to find the best technical jobs in core engineering and will also be very apt
candidates for higher studies like Master’s and PhD in IIT Delhi as well as
other leading national and international educational institutions,” said Prof
Sanjeev Sanghi, Head of the Department, Applied Mechanics.
Prof Sanghi added, “Design, analysis and
research jobs in sectors such as defence, aerospace, automotive, shipping,
bio-mechanics and bio-medical devices, off-shore structures etc. will be open
to students doing this programme, which has been designed based on consultation
with industry.”
One of its type academic programme in
engineering at the undergraduate level, B. Tech in Engineering and
Computational Mechanics aims to provide depth in addressing fundamental
engineering questions. The course would expose students to recent trends in
computational techniques and experiments. It would also provide grounding in
the fundamentals of engineering mechanics along with the tools to address areas
such as Biomechanics, Nanomechanics, Constitutive Modeling at Multiple Length
and Time Scales, Parallel Processing for Mechanics Problems, Machine Learning,
Artificial Intelligence in Mechanics.
Under the programme, students will be
exposed to basic fundamentals of all aspects of mechanics including classical
aspects like theoretical and experimental mechanics and also the latest in
computational techniques including Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
“ The Department of Applied Mechanics, IIT Delhi has an excellent record of having some of the best teachers and many professors have won the excellence in teaching award started by the institute in 2012” said Prof Sanghi.
