Vision
To create an environment wherein we can nurture leaders in engineering mechanics, analysis and design, capable of addressing the needs and challenges of the discipline and the nation.
Mission
To be at the forefront of the creation and dissemination of knowledge in the area of engineering mechanics.
Brief Introduction
The Department of Applied Mechanics at IIT Delhi primarily conducts fundamental research and teaching in the broad areas of solid and fluid mechanics. The department offers the following academic programmes:
B. Tech. (Engineering & Computational Mechanics)
M. Tech. (Engineering Analysis & Design)
D.I.I.T. (Naval Construction)
M. S. (R)
Ph. D.
The emphasis will be on providing a strong grounding in the fundamentals of engineering mechanics along with the tools to address the present industrial needs. The primary goal will be to cultivate, in young minds, the ability to analyze complex interdisciplinary problems in industry and cutting-edge research through experiments, analysis, and computation.
A large number of research and consultancy projects, funded by the government as well as private agencies, are undertaken by the faculty members in the department.
