CHENNAI: IIT-Madras Zanzibar has launched an M Tech programme in ocean structures for 2024-25. The programme comes with two streams “offshore and ship structures” and “port harbour and coastal structures.”
Stream selection will be based on cumulative grade points average (CGPA) obtained by students at the end of first semester.
The course would cover the basics of marine and offshore hydrodynamics, structural design for oil and gas exploration offshore platforms, ports, harbours including port structures and breakwater.It would equip students with core and elective courses to prepare them for careers in the oil and gas and maritime sectors.
“Blue economy is a priority area for Zanzibar and engineering programmes that will yield skilled human resources in this domain are in urgent need,” said Preeti Aghalayam, dean of school of engineering and science, director-incharge, Zanzibar campus, IIT Madras.
Engineers after completing this programme can work in offshore industry, port and harbour development. The curriculum will be tailor made to the industry needs in the oil and gas and maritime sector.
While first, second and fourth semesters will be conducted on the IIT-M Zanzibar campus, the third semester will be held on the IIT Madras – Chennai campus in India.
Those having a four-year UG degree in civil engineering with a minimum of 60% marks are eligible to apply. Applications are currently open for this course and the last date to apply is June 20. Candidates can apply through following link – admissions.ge.iitm.ac.in/iitmz-mtechos
