Shaping the Future of Engineering
The School of Engineering is proud to launch its New Curriculum 2025, a transformative step towards preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving world. This forward-looking programme has been designed in close consultation with global industry leaders, recruiters, and academic partners, ensuring that our graduates are future-ready, innovative, and highly sought after.
What’s New?
The curriculum introduces a Common First Year for all engineering students, fostering a strong foundation before they specialise. From the very beginning, students are immersed in experiential and project-based learning, anchored by a year-long First-Year Engineering Project (FYEP). Working in teams, they take an idea from conception to prototype, often aligning their projects with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
New specialisations reflect emerging priorities in science and technology:
- Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cybersecurity, VLSI Design
- Sustainable Infrastructure, Bioenergy, Robotics, Electric Mobility, Cognitive Robotics, Computational Mechanics
- Interdisciplinary tracks, such as Applied Machine Intelligence, open to all engineering majors
- Students can also pursue Minors outside their chosen discipline, ensuring a broad, cross-disciplinary education.
New Pedagogy
The focus is not just on what students learn, but on how they learn. Courses emphasise students on how to apply knowledge, create solutions, and lead with impact:
- Design problem-solving and analytical thinking
- Interdisciplinary integration of maths, physics, and engineering sciences
- Teamwork, communication, and leadership
- Ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility
- Technical communication and project management
Industry Partnerships
The School has expanded its industry engagement manifold, forging collaborations with leading organisations such as MG Motors, BPCL, IOCL, ISRO, Samsung, HPE, and Dassault, to name a few. Students benefit from guest lectures, live projects, hackathons, competitions, and access to cutting-edge facilities like the Dassault Centre for 3D Design and the Makerspace.
