IIT Jodhpur sets up one-of-its kind Civil & Infrastructure Engg Dept
The department has been set up to train a new group of engineers who are capable of designing large-scale infrastructures that are smart, sustainable and climate change resilient.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur has established the Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering that integrates multiple engineering and science verticals to provide a holistic solution to the civil and infrastructure engineering problems of the country.
The department has been set up to train a new group of engineers who are capable of designing large-scale infrastructures that are smart, sustainable and climate change resilient. Currently, the department runs BTech in civil and infrastructure engineering. Other than the regular BTech, the students will be able to earn dedicated specialisations in smart infrastructure, energy, or environment within the four years of their BTech programmes.
Further, students can convert their BTech to BTech-MTech dual-degree and can earn a dual degree in either energy or environment within five years. These specialisations and dual degree allow students to gain advanced training in transformative technologies and more profound research experience.
