M. Tech in Computer Aided Structural Engineering Program

Overview

Vision

To integrate the strengths of Computer Science into Structural Engineering for providing robust, accurate, fast, economical and sustainable solutions for the current and future challenges.

Why Computer Aided Structural Engineering Program at Mahindra University

This program gives in-depth knowledge of mathematical modeling and computational methods in the areas of non-linear, static and dynamic analysis of structures. Mahindra University’s Computer Aided Structural Engineering Program (CASE) integrates analytical and programming skills for solving complex design and analysis problems posed by various materials and structures.

Convergence of AI and Structural Engineering

  • 3-D printing homes, AI-assisted construction, and pre-fabrication of concrete building components known as precast.

  • Monitoring structural problems like moisture intrusion, corrosion, settlement and deficiencies.

  • Structural health monitoring (SHM), is used in recognizing old and new cracks in construction vibration cases by categorizing images and diagnosing a structure with a problem the way doctors diagnose patients with disorders/diseases.

  • Building Information Modelling (BIM), enhances the construction experience from design to demolition, AI will complement the other technologies used in building structures. This will optimize the design-build process by reducing delays and speeding up time to fix issues that come up on a job site daily. AI’s role could range from managing construction projects to actually building or repairing the structures themselves. In other words, BIM is going to serve as the data sets for AI to perform it’s duties.
