Three new BTech courses in biotechnology and bioinformatics, computational engineering, and industrial chemistry have been launched by IIT Hyderabad.
According to an Indian Express report, the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad has launched three new Btech programmes in biotechnology and bioinformatics, computational engineering, and industrial chemistry, which will begin this academic year. According to the report, the BTech curriculum at IIT Hyderabad allows students to take courses from all branches in the first two semesters, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Apart from the special BTech curriculum of these three programmes, students will be able to gain in-depth knowledge of the subject by taking elective courses from any other department and earning a minor in areas of their interest outside their branch, such as entrepreneurship, computer science, and others, by completing 12 additional credits in that field, according to the report. Students can choose semester-long projects in the sixth semester that allow them to work and gain experience in biotech, pharma, manufacturing, IT, data analysis, and chemistry informatics, according to the report.
“These industry-oriented BTechs have been designed to meet the future and current needs of the industry,” BS Murty, Director, IIT Hyderabad, said in the report. Students who want to continue their education or research after their BTech will have a variety of options at national and international universities.”
According to the report, Raja Banerjee, Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, discussed the advantages of a BTech in computational engineering, saying, “Students of computational engineering will receive an interdisciplinary education where they gain expertise in state-of-the-art numerical methods and algorithms, modelling and simulations of engineering systems and processes, high-performance computing, process control, and optimization, data analytics, and machine learning.
