ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

M.Tech in Structural Engineering (2 years Full-Time / 3 years Part-Time) is an essential programme in Civil Engineering. Any construction cannot happen without analysis and design. This programme has existed since the subject came into existence, but being one of the best Civil Engineering colleges in India, NCU continuously upgrades it as per the demand of the current infrastructure, to constantly provide excellent career opportunities for students. Structural engineering has important subjects like Structural Dynamics, Bridge Engineering, Tall structures, Finite element Analysis and also Design of Earthquake resistant structures, Theory of Elasticity and Plasticity, Numerical Methods, and Advanced structural designs. These subjects inculcate a deep understanding of the behaviour of structures and help professional Civil Engineers design various kinds of structures. The NorthCap University Civil Engineering Department, which is the best School in Delhi/NCR offers an M Tech in Structural Engineering programme to students wanting to pursue a Postgraduate degree in India. Some of the attributes of this programme that differentiate it from similar programmes at other institutions include a comprehensive and up-to-date curriculum that covers fundamental and advanced topics in structural engineering, including courses in structural analysis, design, dynamics, earthquake engineering, and finite element analysis, well-equipped laboratories for experimental work and testing related to structural engineering, such as material testing, structural dynamics, and earthquake simulation, Software and Tools and access to industry-standard software tools used in structural engineering analysis and design, and finite element analysis (FEA) tools.

Typically, a program in this discipline includes concepts from physics, Engineering Mechanics, Mechanics of solids, Structural analysis, design of concrete and steel structures, as well a few mechanical subjects.

Market Trends of Structural Engineering:

• Global adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM): BIM is getting globally accepted due to its capacity of giving 3D experience in the field of structural Engineering.
• Continuous Inventions on self-healing concrete, 3D printed nanostructures, and structural systems that dynamically adapt to changes in their environment and contributes to sustainable development.
• Computational methods using machine-learning will automate simple engineering tasks while assisting engineers to perform more complex engineering tasks. This will empower engineers to offer more high-value services.
• Sustainable development with focus on Social, environmental and economic aspects

Unique Selling Points of the Specialization:

• Industry ready curriculum ensures learning of cutting-edge technologies which helps students to head start their career in core industries such as Shapoorji Pallonji, L&T, Shobha developers
