Undergraduate Programs
Mechanical Engineering offered by IIITDM Kancheepuram is design and manufacturing focussed. This program prepares students to conceptualise, design, simulate and develop tangible products. Students undergo interdisciplinary courses such as embedded systems, instrumentation, controls, automation and advanced manufacturing technology that will help them to design and develop innovative engineering products. Students can choose courses among electives and pursue their interests. The program offers a blend of courses that impart knowledge on design thinking and interdisciplinary engineering in addition to basic sciences.
Smart Manufacturing program has adopted a multi-faceted approach to manufacturing education by giving equal importance to basic sciences and engineering courses, unit manufacturing processes, automation, assembly, electronic manufacturing, and information systems technology. Students will be excelling in manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems, systems engineering, IT, networks, and basic shop floor communications. An experimental learning approach will be followed and students will be gaining hands-on experience in many spheres of technology related to smart manufacturing. Students will also undergo internships for five months duration and will be exposed to real-world challenges of the present-day industry. The students will have an option to serve in smart factories of automobiles, defence, space and consumer goods manufacturing industries.
Dual Degree Programs
This dual degree program offers an opportunity to undergo a PG program in Product Design. Product design is concerned primarily with the relationship between products, systems and those who use them. The product design programme at IIITDM Kancheepuram inculcates a user-centric approach and processes. Responsibility and concern for the social, physical and ecological environments is emphasized in the process of developing innovative ideas. The product design programme assimilates inputs in diverse domains such as human factors, cognitive ergonomics, form studies, studio skills, advanced cad, research methods, design management, materials & manufacturing processes & social sciences. Emphasis is on process centric approach which shapes a student’s education through participation and teamwork. Design projects form the core of a product designer’s education, with a gradual increase in the level of complexity and cover broad areas that product designers are likely to encounter in their professional careers. Students are actively encouraged to participate in collaborative projects with industrial houses, the social sector, and the government.
This dual degree program is a 5 year integrated UG and PG program with a specialisation in Advanced Manufacturing. The term “Advanced Manufacturing Technology” is used to describe flexible manufacturing systems that use innovative technology to improve the design and manufacture of products and processes. The Advanced Manufacturing Technology Program will focus on manufacturing systems – using robotic and transport-based automation including modular work cells: assembly stations, storage locations, machining centres, welding centres and painting stations – play out in the product, from design to manufacture to delivery to the customer. Each student will acquire an overview of how a complete system is tied together to produce high-quality products at a low cost.
Postgraduate Programs
This program is a two-year full-time Master’s course for young graduates and professionals interested in becoming experts in Engineering Product Design. The main objective of the master’s course is to enable the student to achieve and develop full potential and creativity in core engineering design and design thinking. The curriculum is designed to train the graduates in simulating design problems commonly faced in the modern engineering industry by combining creative and technical skills. Students are given the opportunity to examine the fundamentals of design subjects together with more advanced topics such as conceptual methods in engineering design, engineering simulation, creative design and design for quality and reliability.
The course is designed to improve the skills and knowledge of students who want to achieve a high level of professionalism in product design and development. This course also aims to train students to take up entrepreneurial initiatives. Students are trained in industrial design and engineering software such as Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Inventor Professional Suite, Autodesk Simulation, ANSYS, ADAMS, Multiphysics, DFM, DFA and MATLAB.
