M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal Sciences and Energy Systems) at MIT

Manipal

Advanced Training in Thermal Sciences, Fluid Dynamics, and Energy Systems

The M.Tech. in Thermal Sciences and Energy Systems (TSES) is a two-year postgraduate programme offered by the School of Mechanical Engineering. It provides a strong theoretical foundation in thermal and fluid sciences, complemented by simulation and experimental skills relevant to renewable energy systems, heat exchangers, and fluid dynamics. Students gain advanced knowledge in computational fluid dynamics, refrigeration and cryogenics, solar thermal systems, thermal system design and analysis, and numerical methods.

Laboratory courses in thermal and renewable energy systems offer hands-on experience with advanced instruments, covering stability analysis, hybrid energy system analysis, and energy and exergy analyses. The programme also builds professional and research ethics through research methodology coursework, while multidisciplinary electives let students broaden their knowledge and explore diverse research opportunities.

Key features include highly qualified faculty, well-equipped laboratories supporting teaching, research, and consultancy, seminars and technical presentations, industrial training, guest lectures by academic and industry experts, and co-curricular activities such as paper and poster presentations.
