WHAT
ARE THE MAIN
HIGHLIGHTS OF
THE PROGRAMME?
The programme offers a set of courses that
have a strong application orientation through
contemporary computation tools such as
PTC Creo, ANSYS and MATLAB etc. to help
build core competency of a technologist
The programme is of four semesters, with
online classes conducted mostly on
weekends or after-business hours
Semesters 1, 2 and 3 cover four courses
each. The 4th semester covers Dissertation/
Project Work
The Dissertation/ Project Work in the final
semester enables learners to apply concepts
and techniques learnt during the programme.
M.Tech. Design Engineering
The programme uses a Continuous
Evaluation System that assesses the learners
over convenient and regular intervals. Such a
system provides timely and frequent
feedback and helps busy working
professionals stay on course with the
programme
The education delivery methodology is a
blend of classroom and experiential learning.
Experiential learning consists of lab exercises,
assignments, case studies and work
integrated activities

WHAT
IS THE
EDUCATION
DELIVERY
METHODOLOGY? ONLINE CLASSROOM
SESSIONS
Learners get an opportunity to interact with
expert faculty using interactive,
technology-enabled virtual classrooms. These
online classrooms offer similar levels of
interactivity as regular classrooms at the BITS
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Pilani campus.
The programme emphasises on Experiential
Learning that allows learners to apply concepts
learnt in classroom in simulated and real work
situations. This is achieved through:

Simulation based exercises

DIGITAL LEARNING
Case Studies and Assignments: Carefully
chosen real-world cases & assignments are
Learners can access engaging learning
both discussed and used as problem-solving material at their own pace which includes
exercises during the programme recorded lectures from BITS Pilani faculty
members, course hand-outs and recorded lab
Dissertation/ Project Work: The fourth
content where applicable.
semester offers an opportunity for learners to
apply their knowledge gained during the
programme to a real-world like complex
project. The learner is expected to
demonstrate understanding of vital principles
learnt across semesters and their ability to
successfully apply these concepts.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
Continuous Assessment includes graded
Assignments/ Quizzes, Mid-semester exam,
and Comprehensive Exam.
