M.Tech in Structural Engineering is a specialised engineering degree programme of Civil Engineering. It is a two years postgraduate degree programme that involves the design of the concrete structure, the study of advanced materials and analysis of structures for dynamic forces.
The objective to offer the course is to produce structural engineers who possess design and strong analytical skills and create a safe design. It is for aspirants who seek to grow in the design and construction industry on a higher pedestal.
Candidates who are enrolled in the course acquire knowledge about the materials used to design structure and train individuals on advanced concepts of structural engineering through projects and dissertation work. Analysis and design of structures, repair and rehabilitation of the structure, structural dynamics and earthquake-resistant design of structures and advanced materials are some of the major topics covered in the M.Tech in Structural Engineering course.
It is a practical learning course where students are involved in projects that include Structure Design labs and the latest design software and construction material lab.
