With design thinking and social connect embedded into the curriculum, these programmes offered by IIT Jodhpur target to produce global engineers who will be technology leaders and innovators with empathy and sensitivity for sustainable development.

With the emergence of multidisciplinary research and technologies globally, the creative function of engineering is expected to cover the broader context of the new patterns of knowledge creation across traditional disciplines, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

These B.Tech. programs include:

$ Bioengineering

$ AI and Data Science

$ Materials Engineering

$ Chemical Engineering

$ Computer Science and Engineering

$ Electrical Engineering

$ Mechanical Engineering

$ Civil and Infrastructure Engineering

Along with this, Entrepreneurship Education has also been introduced in the IIT Jodhpur curriculum as a minor area which offers the students an enriching experience in innovation, prototyping, business model formulation and market analysis.

Such continual integrative experiences help students to expand and deepen their ‘internal knowledge structure’ of the discipline, which will aid their eventual retrieval and use, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

Professor Santanu Chaudhury, director of IIT Jodhpur highlighted his vision for the institute’s unique curriculum.

IIT Jodhpur is committed to deliver a strong student-focused educational experience and to provide quality education with a contemporary and highly professional curriculum.

Opportunities for multidisciplinary exploration of engineering problems in teams, with sustainability in focus, makes IIT Jodhpur’s education unique and future-ready, said Professor Chaudhury.

What does the curriculum of IIT Jodhpur emphasize on? It emphasizes on:

$ The fundamentals of basic and engineering sciences to enable the students to have a broader multi-disciplinary perspective for the specialization being pursued

$ Early design courses focus heavily on conceptual design methods and less on discipline-specific artifacts.

These courses teach that the students could begin to think and work like engineers

$ Avenues created for making students continuously engaged in these intellectual processes throughout the curriculum and at an increasingly sophisticated level through design credits

That is not all. With these courses, IIT Jodhpur is addressing the requirements of a modern engineering curriculum such as:

$ Flexibility to understand and manage rapidly evolving technologies

$ Ability to identify, define as well as solve problems

$ Proficiency in theory and applications

$ Skill for handling out-of-the-box engineering challenges

$ Capable of Creative Thinking

$ Experience of entrepreneurship

$ Understanding of public policy implications
