This 2 year Masters program will be offered by the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Ecole Centrale School of Engineering, Mahindra University. The program emphasizes on three aspects, viz, programming, widely used computational methods such as FEM and CFD, and coupled problems/ Multiphysics. An additional differentiator is the increased number of hours of practical training which would focus on solving industry relevant problems. Emphasis on these areas and form of pedagogy has been placed in accordance with inputs from multiple industry experts from a wide range of industry verticals. Further, students will be trained on advanced concepts and applications through core electives and open electives which will cover areas such as turbulent flows, non-linear FEM, Optimization.

The program has been designed to allocate about a third of the required 62 credits for extended industry internship or for conducting original research under the supervision of the faculty at Mahindra University. The academics of the second year of the program are scheduled to provide the student the opportunity of pursuing a full-time internship. This enables students to understand the work culture and expectations in the industry and also provides an in-depth experience in solving industry relevant problems.

Graduates of the program are expected to

• Develop computational models of problems by capturing the relevant physics and phenomena of the problem.
• Validate designs with relevant experimental protocols and required data analyses.
• Develop appropriate additional models or programming frameworks to address bespoke process and service conditions.
• Understand the product and development lifecycle and adapt to relevant development process.
