About Programme
The major objective of the programme is to impart advanced learning to eligible candidates in fundamental principles of Structural Analysis and design. Students are trained to implement such principles through different methods in analyses of various types of structures, and to evaluate force and displacement parameters of such structures. M.Tech Structural Engineering Syllabus has been designed to produce engineers specialized in design, construction, repair, rehabilitation, and conservation, and maintenance of stability of structures. The course aims at providing civil engineering graduates with an advanced conceptual understanding in, and advanced knowledge and technical skills required for analyses and design of structures such as dams, bridges, pipelines, roads, towers and buildings, transport systems, airports, and railways.. It involves the advance study of the courses components such as structural mechanics , finite element analysis , structural dynamics , structural reliability and pre-stress concrete etc.

Career Prospects
The job of a Structural Engineer is very closely related to that of Civil Engineer. They are primarily concerned with designing and constructing buildings and structures that are safe and capable of withstanding the elements to which they may get exposed, as well as improving the structural integrity of existing buildings. Structural Engineers design, plan and oversee the construction of new buildings and bridges or other structures. Successful completion of the course opens numerous opportunities in both government and private sectors in the country, such as government departments like Central Public Works Department, Railways, Metro Rail, Highways, Indian Aluminum Limited, Besides Self employment opportunities as consultants.
