of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, started in August 2021, that will train students to
solve multidisciplinary problems related to mechanical systems using computational
techniques.
Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, IIT Hyderabad
Computational tools are ubiquitous in mechanical, aerospace and allied industries and form an
integral part of the engineering design process today. Training in advanced computational
techniques will greatly broaden the spectrum of opportunities available to graduates.
The program combines elements of numerical methods and scientific computing with
fundamental principles in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, design and vibrations. Courses
covering fundamentals of numerical analysis will be complemented with hands-on training using
wide-ranging examples drawn from various domains of engineering. The program will benefit
industry professionals looking to build expertise in the area looking to address technological
challenges in industries in the automotive, oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense and
manufacturing sectors.
