IIT-Hyderabad launches India’s first M Tech in AI/ML for chemical engineering The Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Hyderabad has introduced two new postgraduate programs, MTech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) in Chemical Engineering and MTech in Computational Chemical Engineering. These initiatives aim to equip engineers with the skills needed to navigate the evolving digital and computational demands of modern process industries. The programs are designed to bridge the gap between traditional chemical engineering principles and advanced data-driven methodologies, fostering innovation in sectors such as smart manufacturing, sustainable energy systems, and materials discovery. The MTech in AI/ML in Chemical Engineering combines foundational chemical engineering concepts with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. Students will engage in coursework that emphasizes the application of advanced algorithms and analytics to real-world challenges, including process optimization, reaction engineering, and the development of sustainable energy solutions. This program is tailored to prepare graduates for roles in industries that increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making and automation. The MTech in Computational Chemical Engineering focuses on the simulation and modeling of complex chemical processes at multiple scales. The curriculum integrates chemical engineering with mathematics and computational tools, covering topics such as computational thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, molecular modeling, and numerical optimization.#artificial_intelligence #chemical_engineering #computational_chemical_engineering #iit_hyderabad #machine_learning
Two PG programmes launched at IITH The Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) has introduced two postgraduate programmes under its Department of Chemical Engineering. The new courses include an M.Tech in AI/ML in Chemical Engineering and an M.Tech in Computational Chemical Engineering. These programmes aim to equip students with advanced skills in applying artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational methods to solve complex engineering challenges. The M.Tech in AI/ML in Chemical Engineering focuses on integrating advanced algorithms and data analytics into areas such as process optimization, materials discovery, and predictive modeling. Students will learn to leverage computational tools to enhance efficiency in industrial processes. The Computational Chemical Engineering programme, on the other hand, emphasizes multiscale modeling and simulation of chemical processes. This curriculum combines principles of chemical engineering with mathematics and computing to address intricate problems in process design and analysis. Both programmes prioritize research-oriented learning, hands-on computational training, and collaboration with industry partners. The institute highlighted that these courses reflect its commitment to preparing engineers who can drive innovation through the fusion of domain expertise and digital technologies. Director B.S. Murty emphasized that modern engineering innovation is increasingly shaped by data, computation, and intelligent systems. He stated that the new courses align with IITH’s vision to cultivate professionals capable of using cutting-edge technologies for sustainable industrial and societal development.#iith #director_b_s_murty #chemical_engineering #ai_ml #computational_chemical_engineering
