IT in Building Science |
 |
Building Science is a synthesis of Civil Engineering and
Architecture. It involves all stages of building design,
right from formulation of the concept, preparation of
drawings, execution of work to maintainence and
demolition of buildings. The building should have
structural integrity, functional efficiency and aesthetics
and provide quality environment for the occupants. Such
buildings would be affordable, energy efficient,
comfortable, safe, responsive to inhabitants and provide a
healthy environment.
Introduction of computer techniques, new construction
methods and approaches in building design, earthquake
loadings and need for conservation of energy has created
a demand for professionals who have specialized training
in creating new building systems. This calls for a
specialized course which provides a deep understanding
of the building process and the existing and emerging IT
tools.
The M.Tech. (IT in Building Science) is an
interdisciplinary programme open to graduates from the
fields of architecture and civil engineering. It has a focus
on research and development of advanced information
technology tools and their application in building science
for the design of better construction methods and
buildings. The aim is to minimize the costs involved
over the entire life cycle of these buildings. The
curriculum has an integrated approach for solving
problems in the industry by providing a synthesis of IT
techniques and Building Science.
"Dr. Vishal Garg is presently working as an assistant
professor and also as course Co-coordinator of
MTech in IT in building science course. He did his
BE civil from MBM Engineering College, Jodhpur He
did his PhD from IIT, Delhi.
His research areas being Smart occupancy sensor,
task controlling lighting, heating, air conditioning
using fuzzy logic, fuzzy logic based protocol for
wireless sensors network, Intelligent Buildings."
We place great emphasis on ensuring that our students
are offered first class lectures, tutorials and practical
classes by committed faculty members. Graduates from
this programme will find that their education has
equipped them with the knowledge to handle challenging
assignments in the building and construction industry.
We hope you will find this brochure useful and
informative. We invite you to visit the institute and
discover the value we offer to businesses, professionals
and prospective students.

M. Tech. (IT in Building Science) is an innovative
programme. It is a two year programme and students
come with a background in architecture or civil
engineering. The focus of this programme is on two
aspects: multidisciplinary approach and IT tools for
Building Science.
Application of IT tools requires creativity, a logical
mind and analytical ability. The course provides an
excellent grounding in the fundamentals of related IT
tools. The course then, engages in a comprehensive
study of core areas of computer science such as
databases, graphics, networks etc. This course helps
the students to confidentially address the challenges
related to IT applications.
Building Science is a multidisciplinary science. The
central thread of this programme is architectural
creativity. Astheticaly pleasing forms and shapes are
modeled and visualized using IT tools. Load
transmission through such shapes require
considerable insight into their structural behaviour.
The course provides an in depth study of Structural
Analysis and Design with emphasis on numerical
analysis and use of computers. Structural response
to earthquake and other time varying effects are
covered in detail.

Comfort is a major concern and its handling requires knowledge of thermal sciences and practical aspects of heat, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Sciences of light and acoustics influence the functional aspects of a building. In all major buildings, automation and intelligence are gaining importance, and this requires knowledge in signals, systems, control theory and embedded systems. The Building Science programme integrates all these components so as to create an asthetically pleasing, healthy, safe, comfortable and affordable built environment for the society. |
"Dr. Venkateshwarlu did his PhD from University of Waterloo, Canada. His research areas are discrete systems, wave phenomena in solid media, finite element models, probability, statistics, and stochastic processes in engineering applications." |
Graduates of this programme will come with a wide
exposure in all these relevant areas and
specialization in area of their choice. This would
enable them to cope with the new trends and
research in the Building Industry. They are
exceptionally well prepared for effective application
of IT tools in various phases and components of the
Building Industry.
