Gurugram (Haryana) [India] Feb 28 (ANI/NewsVoir): BML Munjal University (BMU), the Hero Group's not-for-profit university, today announced a new B Tech Program in Engineering Science for undergraduate students by the School of Engineering and Technology for 2020 - 24 batches.
Given the exponential rate of technology, the market demands agility, adaptability and interdisciplinary knowledge and skills from professionals. It has become increasingly important that students understand and apply concepts of engineering and science in a holistic manner to meet rapid advancements in technology and requirements of sustainable development.
The new programme will focus on developing a rigor in the engineering science 'fundamentals' in the students. The students can pursue a specialization in a chosen interdisciplinary domain, such as Geospatial Science, Environmental Science, Materials Science, and Nano Science as per their interest, aptitude, and readiness of the market for such new-age courses.
The applicants will have to fill in the online common application form available at www.bmu.edu.in/apply-page/, by March 26, 2020.
The primary highlights of the course would be that it would allow students to study subjects where sciences with engineering intersect. The new Engineering Science programme is also aimed to act as the foundations of future degree programmes themed towards "build your own degree".
These flexible and diverse "build your own degree" programmes are intended to allow freedom to prospective students in choosing the structure and progress of their chosen degree programmes based on their interests, market demands, and rapidly changing educational environments.
Globally, the engineering science programme is being offered by the University of Oxford and UC Berkley. In India, it is offered by IIT Hyderabad till date.
BMU has developed collaborations with a number of corporate, research organisations and international universities such as Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe's largest applied research organisation, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of Warwick, Purdue North-West University, and four national RD labs to ensure students are exposed to world-class technology and can conduct research from the day they start the program.
The University is also associated with Microsoft Intelligent Cloud Hub to further enrich the skills and expertise of the students in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Internet of Things and more.
