Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur AGENDA ITEM 22.2.3 of 22nd Meeting of Senate on 31 July 2020 (Friday) 03:00 pm at Board Room, IIT Jodhpur Annexure AP22-3 Concept Note Curriculum of UG program 2020 Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering IIT Jodhpur CI#1 1. Introduction The rapidly urbanizing society and increasing quality of life demand reliable and intelligent infrastructure systems which are capable of catering to the societal needs at different scales – from an individual to the community level. Consequently, the civil and infrastructure industry has undergone profound changes and is constantly evolving. However, the new-age designs and innovations in the civil and infrastructure industry can only be driven by a group of engineering graduates having multidisciplinary training and a sound understanding of emerging technologies. Through this undergraduate program in “Civil & Infrastructure Engineering”, IIT Jodhpur is making a stride to re-imagine the course structure that incorporates and integrates the elements of conventional civil engineering with advanced transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cyber- physical-systems (CPS), digital twins (DT), and automated management and information systems. Additionally, a major thrust is also planned on the design, implementation, and maintenance of large-scale integrated infrastructure systems across different domains. 2. Objective of the program ● To provide an expanded but holistic understanding of different civil and infrastructure systems and an in-depth understanding of the differences, similarities, and relations between different scales and components of it. ● To produce graduates with an ability to integrate conventional methods with emerging technologies to design intelligent civil and infrastructure systems from a multidisciplinary perspective. ● To provide exposure to techniques such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), machine learning, big data, cyber-physical systems, and digital twin (DT) in the design and maintenance of different civil and infrastructure systems. 3. Expected Graduate Attribute ● A strong foundation in the analytical, experimental, and computational methods to study various aspects of civil and infrastructure systems. ● A thorough understanding of green and sustainable materials, practices, and principles to design resilient infrastructure systems. ● An ability to understand real-world problems related to air and water pollution, solid waste management, ecological and environmental degradation, and their monitoring and remediation. ● Ability to adopt safe methodologies coupled with advanced technologies in the design and construction of civil and infrastructure systems. ● Ability to monitor and evaluate health of old structures and renovating to bring sustainability. ● An understanding of the use of digital twins (DT), cyber-physical-systems (CPS), internet-of-Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) in designing, monitoring, surveillance and security of infrastructures. ● An innate ability to take multidisciplinary approach to problem solving and willingness to go beyond conventional paths. ● Ability to engage in ethical and responsible practices while pursuing professional growth.
