About the Program:
IIIT Hyderabad introduces an innovative Civil Engineering teaching and research programme. The programme aims at conducting research to build an environmentally sustainable habitat by integrating environment, materials, services, science and engineering while making use of latest technology in computer science and electronics.
Why BSE?
Though construction is a regulated industry, there is severe shortage of technical and trained manpower in all stages of design, construction, regulation, operation and monitoring. Buildings need to be understood as a holistic system and should not be addressed in the current fragmented approaches leading to conflicting sub-optimal outcomes.
It is very important to establish a state-of-the-art research facility where various building related sub-domains can be focused at and environmentally sustainable habitats can be built.
The program aims at educating engineers and conduct research to build an environmentally sustainable habitat by integrating environment, materials, services, science and engineering while making use of latest technology in computer science and electronics. Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the proposed program, the program will address two broad areas; R&D gaps and Knowledge gaps and would collaborate with other institutions to address the skill gaps.
