“Systems Engineering is an engineering practice and compendium of the techniques that integrate and harmonize various aspects of a product life cycle”. Systems Engineering is practiced very rigorously for product development in many industries like Aerospace, Automobile, Chemical, Electronics and other Engineering in the last few decades. This discipline enables product development in a very systematic manner by concurrent interfacing of many sub-components leading to significant reduction in cost and time. It is a unique interdisciplinary program which considers everything in the nature and society as a system and enhances the exploratory skills in the innovative design of a system.

The M. Tech program in Systems Engineering is offered to students who are interested in advanced learning and research in this field with a focus on inter-disciplinary integration of engineering, systems understanding and management, application to life cycle management. This involves learning system architecture, design, integration, implementation and sustaining it (i.e. manage, evolve and re-engineer), utilizing advanced methods of evolutionary computation, Operation Research (OR), Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO), Data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), System reliability, Energy management system and Distribution management system, etc.

This full-time PG degree program is of 60+ credits spread over 4 semesters. About two-thirds of the credits involve coursework and the remaining for project work. The project’s emphasis would be on conducting original research and writing a dissertation with the results obtained and also explore the feasibility of a journal publication with the key results.

The program is flexible enough to allow students to specialize in any stream of interest by taking appropriate electives and working towards successfully completing a dissertation in that area. The program also intends to offer a design project spread over the first two semesters.
