CourseName:First level Creative Engineering Project

Credit Distribution: C: L: T: P: E: O: TH:

Course Type:

Description:This course is proposed to be an umbrella under which students can work with interested faculty
on short-term creative engineering projects, working on feasible solutions to real-world problems. The level of
the project is expected to involve the material from the first four semesters of the curriculum.

CourseContent:This course will encompass identifying and formulating problems for design and seeking
solutions to the real world challenges through observations, analysis and understanding. The proposed
mechanism of interaction between the faculty and students is as follows: • A faculty member/student can
propose a student project outlining the motivation, objectives, expectations of student time commitment and
deliverables. A document with this content may be developed in collaboration with the students and shall act
as a memorandum for the course. • The students are expected to work in a self-motivated and self-monitored
mode. However, they are encouraged to interact periodically with the faculty mentor and discuss progress
documented in the form of periodic reports. • The Advisor, co-curricular affairs shall be designated the course
co-ordinator. The Advisor along with the faculty mentor will meet with the students at least twice during the
course of the semester to assess progress. • The Advisor, co-curricular will ensure that the Center for
Innovation space and resources are available to the students and faculty should they choose to use the same.
• The faculty mentor shall assign a letter grade upon completion of the project based on a rubric that was
agreed upon at the start of the semester. • The students may work in teams but the role and contribution of
each of the team members shall be clearly outlined in all reports submitted to the extent that such progress
may be assessed for individual letter grade. • At the end of the project, all students are expected to turn in a
final report containing the complete details of the project for archival purpose. All project reports may be
archived at [Link] in a keyword searchable format for future students’ use. While delivering project
goals is important, the overarching objective of this course is to ensure that the students benefit
technologically and realize the importance of planning, discipline and professionalism in the creative
engineering process. This shall form the guiding principle for awarding letter grades.

Course Type:

Description:Doing is learning. Therefore, this course is designed to give hands on experience of teaching / mentoring younger students in live classes. Through this
mode and assessment of their teaching skills, it is anticipated that the participants will be able to improve and refine their teaching skills.

CourseContent:The course will be a platform to launch one’s future career in teaching as a profession. The course will have three forms of sessions. 1. The participants
will be exposed to skills of teaching, learning, listening, getting along, confict resolution and cross cultural skills. 2. The participants will be handling live classes for
younger students under various topics. 3. A discussion on their experience and feedback to assess their skills and reflect on improvements. The following are the
contents of the program with a brief introduction of each 1. Body language This session is very critical to ant teacher. Our bodies communicate more than we [Link] a

resolve conflict. This session will aim to provide the teacher with a deep understanding of the nature of conflict and its [Link] will help her to resolve both
internal conflict and external conflict that may arise in her student. [Link] culture. IIT Madras is a diverse place. There are students from all over the country. Each
student brings with herself her culture, her back ground, her bias and her fears. Learning cross culture, will help the teacher understand diversity and how to respect it.
This is a fun session full of examples from real life and specific tools to understand cross culture. [Link] intelligence It is often said that EQ or emotional
intelligence is more useful than IQ. EQ or emotional intelligence will help the teacher deal with not only her own emotions , but also with her students emotion. This
session will provide insights into what makes us who we are. [Link] questions. A teacher not only teaches , but also inspires. Sometimes asking questions is more
meaningful than explaining a concept? In this session , the participant will be taught the art of asking questions and using questions to rejuvenate a class room.
[Link] Skills As Julian treasure puts it. Listening ought to be taught in schools. We know that a good listener gains the respect of everyone. Listening could be one
of the most unexplored tools for a teacher. [Link] along Can there be a more important topic than this one? In this session the participant will learn to get along and
understand concepts like empathy , compassion, [Link] session will also help the participant look at the student as a co learner and help him to get his student’s
commitment and respect. [Link] thinking. Design thinking helps understand how anything is designed. It could be a product, a process, a service or even the content

Credit Distribution: C: L: T: P: E: O: TH:

Course Type:

Description:An engineer is a problem solver. He/she uses science and technology to help the world deal with
its problems. The very purpose of learning science is to unearth the solutions that science keeps hidden. And
the most appropriate person to discover these solutions is the engineer. That in essence is the intention of this
course. Learning new skills, like Problem solving, design thinking, research methods, and networking with
people from other parts of the world, presentation skills.

CourseContent:Identifying a problem is more difficult than solving the problem. Fortunately, the Grand
Engineering Challenges proposed by the National academy of engineers has articulated fourteen grand
challenges that need to be solved. This course is about attempting to solve these challenges. The course will
take the participant through different steps in problem solving and in finding appropriate solutions. The main
objective of the program is to understand the magnitude of these challenges and in being able to articulate
that understanding. The participant is expected to do a lot of research into the past, present and future of
these challenges.

CourseName:Engineers - Saving Lives

Credit Distribution: C: L: T: P: E: O: TH:

Course Type:

Description:This course, at the outset, is intended to help young engineers bring a meaning to their lives and
career. This course envisages that many human problems have simple solutions and that engineering skills
can address these problems. There are many problems that could be dangerous to human lives. Fortunately,
they need simple solutions. However, the simplicity and urgency of the solutions is lost due to several factors,
not in the least being that engineers do not look at themselves as life savers. This program has a very clear
and simple objective. Look around and build ten solutions (product, process or service,) that will help save
lives.

CourseContent:Design thinking principles, Tools for creativity and generating out of the box ideas. Research
methodology, maker’s tools, Interviewing skills, Prototyping skills and a bit of existential philosophy. Sessions

CourseName:Introduction of Biomimicry

Credit Distribution: C: L: T: P: E: O: TH:

Course Type:

Description:The course is designed to encourage students to explore the principles of nature and apply them
to real life solutions.

CourseContent:Bio mimicry is the future and present of innovation. It is based on the principle that nature
has solved a lot of problems relating to the earth. Termites know how to maintain flow of air, kingfishers know
how to dive for food, Geckos know how to scale walls and so on. This course invites to pay attention to the
immense technologies of nature based on sound engineering principles. The course will consist of the
following modules: 1. What is Biomimicry 2. Examples of biomimicry The participant will learn about some of
the situations and products in which biomimicry is put to use. 3. Why Biomimicry The module will help the
participant understand why he/she must learn Biomimicry and what the benefits are. 4. Process for
Biomimicry Like every other tool, biomimicry also follows a certain process. To understand the wisdom of
nature one needs to understand in a systematic way, what nature has invented, how do you extract the
strategies of nature and then learn how to implement those strategies. 5. Principles of nature’s design When
nature invents, she bears in mind essential principles of sustainable design. Here the participant will learn
and apply those principles to his design. 6. Types of biomimetic design Biomimicry can be about the product
you want to create, or the process you want to create or the system you want to create. In this session the
participant is encouraged to think about the objective of his design and contextualise it accordingly 7. More
detailed look at examples of biomimicry culminating in a term project Participants will do a hands-on exercise
to use the learning in an individual or group project.

CourseName:Systems Thinking for Engineers (Cultivating Wisdom)

Credit Distribution: C: L: T: P: E: O: TH:

Course Type:

Description:The course teaches one to look at the whole and not just the parts. Problems happen because we
never learn to see the whole. Systems thinking is a holistic approach to understand how elements of a system
are connected to each other, how the system relates to larger systems/other systems, and how changes in one
affect the rest. The aim, therefore, of the course is to help design thoughtful and long-term solutions to
challenges. The course also aims to foster problem-solving and encourage questioning through specific habits
that systems thinkers employ to understand how systems work and how actions taken can impact results seen
over time.

CourseContent:Introduction: definition of systems thinking, and mental models; evolution of these concepts;
study of important authors and thinkers who have popularized these models. Systems thinking in daily life:
learn to recognize facets of systems thinking in their lives and the lives of others; learn to see the world as a
single system; learn to see relationships and connections that have remained invisible; comprehend the
deeper nuances of certain experiences and incidents in their life. Mental models: About 12 mental models will
be introduced. For eg: Occam’s razor which suggests that simple explanations are better than complex
explanations to make decisions. Systems thinking habits: There are 14 systems thinking habits such as Big
picture thinking, meaningful connections, mental models, etc. that one can practice regularly. Exercises
towards that practice will be introduced. The course will be interactive with lectures, videos, book classics
and assignments.
