Curriculum (2020 Admission Onwards)

Overview

Computer Aided Structural Engineering is an innovative program, focused on the combination of recent advances made in the field of structural engineering and computer science. This combination allows structural engineer the flexibility and freedom for a better understanding of structural behaviour due to material & geometric nonlinearity and loading uncertainties. Students join this program with a background in civil engineering. The program provides an excellent grounding in the fundamentals of structural engineering subjects and engages them in a comprehensive study of computer science subjects such as computer programming, databases, graphics, visualization etc. The main objective of M.Tech CASE program is to include recent advances in the development and use of computer methods for the solution of scientific and engineering problems related to structures.

Key Objectives

The objectives of the current curriculum, while maintaining the rigour of the program are:
  • to keep students abreast with the latest in Structural Engineering;
  • to improve mathematics skills of students;
  • to introduce to students use of latest technology in structural engineering field;
  • to familiarise students with the properties and behaviour of new and emerging materials used in construction; and
  • to benefit domain as well as non-domain students through the program
Key Requirements
Student must acquire a minimum of 66 credits in 4 semesters to become eligible to receive M. Tech in CASE degree. This can be achieved by acquiring credits as follows:
  • Minimum 24 credits from Structural Engineering courses
  • Minimum 12 credits from Computer Science and IoT
  • 18 credits from any Structural engineering or non-Structural engineering elective courses of their choice
  • 12 credits from final semester project

Credits per Semester

  • Semester I (20 Credits)

Grading Scheme

Grading for all courses will follow letter grading scheme with grade points, stipulated by the institute. Project/internship completed in fourth semester (for 12 credits) will follow Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading scheme without grade points.

Notes:

  • Students can register up to a maximum of 20 credits in a semester. Each course carries 4 credits, unless otherwise specified.
  • Students can register up to a maximum of 2 Independent Study courses.
  • Students are encouraged to do summer project/internship/final semester project or internship in construction industry/design consultancy or at IIIT Hyderabad.
