M. Tech. in Advanced Machinery Design
On this page
Overview
Machineries and equipment are the heart of various sectors including aerospace, automotive, infrastructure, agriculture, power engineering and machine tools. Newer manufacturing technologies and processes create demand for special purpose machines and qualified engineers. Indian manufacturing sector is growing at a rate of 4.4 – 4.6% and it is estimated that there is an annual demand for 500 – 600 specialized design engineers.
Design engineers need to be well versed in mechanisms, kinematics and dynamics of machines, materials, manufacturing processes, tribology, machine structures, control systems, electrical and electronics to conceptualize, design and optimization of machinery. Designers should be capable of using modern design tools to model, simulate, analyze, optimize and validate the designs.
The program covers courses on design, analysis and control of machinery and offers electives in two streams, namely, Design optimization and Machinery Design.
Objective
Our program trains students in the fundamentals of building and testing machinery. Our program –
- Ensures students learn modelling, simulation, analysis, synthesis, and optimisation of machinery at the element and system level.
- Trains students in summarising concepts in machinery, farming equipment, construction machinery, general engineering machines, and material handling equipment etc.
- Includes training in designing and developing machinery systems to meet varied functional and operational requirements.
- Helps explain underlying engineering principles for design and control of machinery.
- Helps students identify materials and processing knowledge for design of machine elements.
- Trains students to use CAE tools to model, simulate and analyse the behavior of machinery systems for design optimisation and performance improvement.
- Provides opportunities for a career in Advanced Machinery Design.
- Encourages teamwork, lifelong learning and continuous improvement
Highlights
Elective Specialisation
Electives are grouped so that students can specialise in a chosen field. Students can also opt for elective courses across multiple streams given affordability and approval from a course leader, HoDs and Deans, and this requires that guidelines are followed
Two-Stream Electives
The program covers courses on design, analysis and control of machinery and offers electives in two streams, namely, Design optimization and Machinery Design
Online Elective
Students can choose elective courses online through MOOCs, SWAYAM, NPTEL and other equivalent platforms, adhering to guidelines prescribed by the University
International Competitions
Students can also earn 3 or 4 credits by participating in international competitions like technical presentations, conferences and publications in journals and winning awards. Students who achieve this can be exempted from one of the elective courses in the program
Group Project
A group of up to 5 students can come together to work on an interdisciplinary project in consultation with faculty. Students are required to develop a report for assessment and demonstrate the working of the product, and the project needs to be approved by a committee before it is executed. The IPR rights of all such work lies with the University only
Industry Internship or Project
A student can opt for an internship in an industry, a business or research organisation. Alternately, students can undertake a mini-project which requires self-directed study that can be pursued with an affiliated faculty member. The internship needs to be approved by the HoD and Dean and students have to submit a report and make a presentation to a panel constituted by the HoD for assessment
Dissertation and Publication
This course includes a dissertation and publication. Each student has to choose a relevant topic for a dissertation and this needs to be approved by a committee constituted by the HoD. The dissertation should then be converted into a technical paper published in reputed conferences or journals
