PhD in Mechanical Engineering

The curriculum consists of completion of prescribed coursework and project/thesis work, as applicable. The Department offers a variety of courses, both in the classical and emerging areas of Mechanical Engineering, with an objective to expose the students to the various facets of Mechanical Engineering. The courses are designed to be rigorous and strive for student learning through various activities such as tutorials, assignments, projects and examinations. The project/thesis work is assigned on an individual basis, even at the B.Tech. level, and the student is expected to work on a problem of interest over a period of time. The project/thesis work is research and development oriented, and typically involves analysis/design of a real-life problem of interest. The project/thesis work may result in publishing of papers in journals/conferences or a patent.
