The program will focus on simulation-based learning and on the most advanced computational tools and techniques used in contemporary engineering analysis, the institute says.
IIT Hyderabad launches two new MTech programs in the Department of Chemical Engineering- MTech in AI/ML in Chemical Engineering and MTech in Computational Chemical Engineering.
The program aims to produce engineering graduates to meet the growing needs of the modern process industry by bridging fundamental chemical engineering concepts with knowledge of artificial intelligence, data science, and computational modelling, says the institute.
This MTech program in AI/ ML in Chemical Engineering – also hailed by the institute as the country’s first – combines chemical engineering concepts with modern techniques such as AI, ML and data-based modelling.
According to the institute, the course is intended to make graduates capable of implementing algorithms and advanced analytics in fields such as process optimisation, materials development, reaction engineering, smart manufacturing, and sustainable energy systems.
The program's goal is to provide graduates with an analytical and computational skill set that will allow them to solve difficult problems in the context of industrial processes. It focuses specifically on manufacturing and energy, both of which are becoming increasingly technologically advanced.
The MTech in Computational Chemical Engineering programme is structured to impart understanding of multiscale modelling and simulation of chemical processes.
Combining chemical engineering along with mathematics and computer sciences, the course has topics such as computational thermodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, molecular modelling, reaction modeling and numerical optimisation. The programme, as claimed by the institute, will lay a lot of emphasis on simulation-based learning and on sophisticated computational tools for today's engineering analyses.
Both programmes come with a research component, hands-on computational training, as well as industry interaction. Graduates will be ready to work in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy, advanced materials and digital manufacturing industries, as assured by the institute.
The introduction of these programs reflects the increasing confluence of AI and computational techniques into chemical and process engineering disciplines, especially for the purposes of optimisation, modeling and data-driven industrial operations.
