Course – Teaser Video

This course is expected to expose the senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals working in structural design and construction firms to cutting edge construction technology and management practices. India will invest significantly in developing infrastructure and buildings in the years to come and it is important that we build on time, on budget, using new technologies and to the highest standards of quality (construction process, workmanship, finishing, mechanical/durability performance, etc.) possible. This course will address exactly these aspects and provide specific tools and guidelines that will enhance the skills of aspiring or practicing graduate civil/structural engineers, construction technologists and managers.

If you are interested in building a career with a design or construction firm, it is imperative that you understand the latest advances in construction technology and management practices. This course will offer you just that. The course will be tailored for the practicing engineer and will focus on how to get things right in the field. Taught by world renowned professors from IIT Madras and replete with several practical examples, this course is a requirement if you wish to make a mark in the field of construction or infrastructure development.
