IIT Delhi - Abu Dhabi

Objective(s) of the program:

The objective is to train students from diverse science and engineering backgrounds as professionals and scholars in the energy and associated sectors. The graduates of this program will be able to take a multidisciplinary and systems-level perspective on technology, public policy, and environmental sustainability issues in the energy sector. Thus, the program will contribute to crea4ng human resources that can effectively engage with the complex challenges associated with the energy transition and can take up leadership positions in the future energy sector.

Program structure

The program is designed to establish a strong multidisciplinary Foundation in energy engineering while allowing students to specialize and customize their learning based on their interests and future career opportunities. Specifically, the program has the following key elements:

• Foundation courses to enable students of varying disciplinary backgrounds and professional experiences to refresh and strengthen their knowledge of the foundational disciplines for the program (i.e., engineering mathematics, thermal engineering, electrical engineering, and process engineering).

• Core courses to establish a common multdisciplinary knowledge base in energy engineering, climate change, sustainability, environment, and economics. The core courses will also provide hands-on experience with technologies and experimental methods for the energy transition through laboratory courses and research projects.

• Program elective courses to allow students to acquire in-depth knowledge and skills in their chosen specialization track while offering the flexibility of customizing the program based on their interests and career goals.

• M. Tech. Research Project and industry internship/project to provide students the opportunity to work on projects that are relevant to the needs of industry while contributing towards improvements and developments on cutting-edge problems in the energy sector, and developing their research and project execution skills
