Highlights

  • Based on National demand to meet skill development of growing Indian economy
  • Several Universities around the globe are offering environmental engineering degrees, also in addition energy studies is rapidly emerging as a new discipline of relevance to meet future energy needs. Given that Energy & Environment are so closely related, we feel that an M.Tech in Energy & Environment in the need of the hour.
  • Uttarakhand has several sustainable energy re-sources to be developed; in specific Geothermal & Hydro have strong potential to be harnessed.
  • The 4th semester (also the 3rd semester) is hands on projects based, which means the student shall have the opportunity to develop skills and work in the field, which means we will create entrepreneurs who can work in the area of Energy sustainability for India.
  • The three specializations of the course give a student to pursue sustainable technology, renewable technology and mitigation of energy impact. Whereas students of sustainable technology are focused on technologies which do not have any long-term adverse impact on the environment, students of renewable technology focus on energy systems which are abundant in nature and naturally replenished. The students with focus on mitigation on energy impact study ways to reduce carbon footprint.
  • It is inter-departmental program, which means, the course content has matured and the program is drawing on the expertize developed by faculty in various departments over the years of teacching.
