B.Tech Smart Manufacturing and Industrial Intelligence at School Of Advanced Engineering, UPES, Dehradun Offline Course

The B.Tech in Smart Manufacturing & Industrial Intelligence is built on the philosophy of ‘Atoms to Bits’—where every physical manufacturing activity (machines, materials, shopfloors and supply chains) is paired with a digital intelligence layer that can sense, analyse and improve performance continuously. Over 4 years (8 semesters) and 160 credits, the program develops digitally native manufacturing engineers who don’t just operate automated systems but design the “brain” behind modern factories—using data, AI and simulation to make production smarter, safer and more sustainable.

Students build a strong base in manufacturing systems and processes, then progress into automation, robotics and controls, supported by Industrial AI and analytics for real-time decision-making. A defining emphasis is on digital twins and simulation, enabling production lines to be modelled and optimised virtually before changes are made on the shopfloor. The curriculum also covers IIoT, edge and cloud manufacturing for connected operations and predictive maintenance, along with operations strategy, supply chain thinking and sustainability. By graduation, learners are ready for Industry 4.0/5.0 roles where manufacturing becomes intelligent, adaptive and human-centric.
