M.Tech Integrated Design and Manufacturing

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (Also known as: IIT Hyderabad)

Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Integrated Design and Manufacturing of Mechanical Engineering is a two-year full-time postgraduate program offered by Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.

The growing complexity of the challenges in Industry and Research these days demand an interdisciplinary approach. It can be easily observed that industry today prefers workforce versatile in both the analysis and practical implementation; in component as well as system design; in theoretical as well as computational approaches. The conventional M.Tech. pedagogy of the small number of courses (8-10) in the short duration of one year limits the implementation of the foregoing. The fractal program in Integrated Design & Manufacturing aims to address this problem by fractalizing the courses into modules of varying credits between 1-3. The student can then gain a wide knowledge base through one or two credits’ modules and greater depth through the electives. The compulsory courses include Manufacturing Processes, Design for Manufacturability & Assembly, FEM, Computational labs related to FEM and CFD analysis, Material Science & Material Selection, Scaling Laws & Multi-scale Manufacture, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Elasticity & Plasticity, Fluid Mechanics & Heat Transfer, Process Control & Optimization, Artificial Intelligence. The students can choose a core manufacturing elective from advanced courses in material removal, joining and generative process. In addition, open electives can be chosen from the following list of tentative electives: Automation & Robotics, Additive Manufacturing, Micro-Manufacturing, Measurement Science & Techniques, Reliability & Fault Diagnostics, Fatigue, Fracture & Life Cycle Estimation etc. (Note: most of these courses are 1-credit i.e., one-third of the duration of a normal course).
