Computer Aided Structural Engineering

Computer Aided Structural Engineering is an innovative program focused on the combination of recent advances in structural engineering and computer science. This combination gives structural engineers the flexibility and analytical support needed for a better understanding of structural behaviour under material and geometric nonlinearity, along with loading uncertainties.

Students join this program with a background in civil engineering. The curriculum provides strong grounding in the fundamentals of structural engineering and complements it with computer science subjects such as programming, databases, graphics, visualization, and related computational methods.

The main objective of the M.Tech CASE program is to include recent advances in the development and use of computer-based methods for solving scientific and engineering problems related to structures.

Keep students abreast of the latest developments in Structural Engineering.
Improve the mathematical skills of students.
Introduce students to the use of the latest technology in the structural engineering field.
Familiarise students with the properties and behaviour of new and emerging materials used in construction.
Benefit both domain and non-domain students through the program.

A student must acquire a minimum of 66 credits in 4 semesters to become eligible to receive the M.Tech in CASE degree.

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

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