  CIVIL ENGINEERING
Civil Engineering is one of the oldest branches of Engineering. The earliest engineers worked for the military, so the name 'civil' came historically to differentiate it from military engineering. Civil Engineering is all around you ....


ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The curriculum broadly aims to introduce students to the basics of Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture, Signal Theory and Communication Systems, Circuit Theory and Analog Electronics, Control Engineering ....


ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (POWER & AUTOMATION)
Electrical Engineering Power and Automation at IIT Delhi is the same as the Electrical Engineering course offered at other universities. The curriculum consists of a specialisation in power and automation along with other basic electrical engineering courses ....


MATERIALS ENGINEERING
The UG programme in Materials Engineering is designed to equip the students with the necessary knowledge and skills tlo cater to all industrial sectors that require knowledge in material design and engineering to meet the growing industrial and academic demands of our country. The BTech course curriculum is designed to lay a core foundation with a wide basket of electives ....


  MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTING
The Mathematics and Computing degree comprise a blend of courses covering different areas of mathematics and computer science. It is different from traditional engineering branches and isn't completely about core engineering. The degree aims to maintain a balance between the theoretical and computational aspects of mathematics ....


MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
In a single word, it’s all about machines. Components of machines, mechanisms of their working, manufacturing of machines and management aspect of all this is touched as well. Putting it a little technically, Mechanical design, Thermal engineering and Industrial and Production Engineering ....


  PRODUCTION AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
To put it very briefly, Mechanical Engineering is the science of anything and everything that can move - ranging from the blood flowing in our capillaries to the compressor blades of a Boeing 747 engine. The job of a mechanical engineer is to transform an idea into a physical product. This requires technical knowledge about how materials behave under different conditions of temperature and pressure ....


ENGINEERING PHYSICS
The Engineering Physics Department of IIT Delhi offers a wide variety of courses, the core of which is to teach the basics, with which we can begin to break down the complexities around the physical world and learn the intricacies in any physics field we encounter ....


  TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY
Textile Engineering delves into the most fundamental processes and structure of compounds in fibers that constitute yarns and fabrics. Fibers are the building blocks of a lot of things we use in our daily life, and in textile we understand why the things we use are made out of the specific materials they are made from. Textile Engineering also involves using advanced techniques ....


CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (DUAL DEGREE)
Contrary to popular belief, Chemical Engineering is not just about Chemistry. It is a curious blend of concepts of Mathematics and Physics being applied in Chemistry. It involves teaching students problem-solving at both the reactor as well as the molecular level ....
