M.Tech in Design Engineering

Mechanical Design stream offers courses related to the mechanical aspects of design and their application. All the Students take six core (theory) courses and one laboratory in the first semester - computational methods in engineering, theory of mechanisms, theory of vibrations, principles of product design, design with advanced materials and advanced mechanics of solids. 

Additional core subjects such as failure analysis, finite element analysis and a laboratory course on CAE are offered in the second semester. The students are offered a basket of electives such as design synthesis, design of transmission elements, gear design, CAD/CAM for product design, mechatronics, product reliability, design of transmission systems, fracture mechanics, tribo-design, tribo-instrumentation, nonlinear solid mechanics, optimization methods, rotor dynamics, random vibration, acoustics and noise control, vehicular vibration, chaotic vibration, advanced theory of vibration, modal analysis of mechanical systems, design for manufacture and assembly, theory of mixtures, mechanics of human movement. 

The concepts learned through course work are useful for the project work done in the third and final semesters. The project work can be taken up in the following broad areas of expertise: Finite Element Analysis; CAE; Vibration; Acoustics and Noise Control; Fluid-structure interactions; Constitutive Material Modeling; Fatigue and Fracture; Machine Elements; Mechanisms; Kinematics; Non-Destructive Evaluation & Condition Monitoring; Structural Health and Condition Monitoring; Tribology; Fretting; Rotor Dynamics; Product Design; Bio-Mechanics, Human Body Kinematics, Prosthetics; Design Optimization and Reliability Engineering as well as in new and Emerging areas of mechanical engineering relating to design.
