2. IIT Jodhpur
• Energy, food and water, housing, mobility, security,
environment, and health are societal challenges of the 21st
century
• It will become even more acute as the world population
exceeds 9 billion.
• The demands for sustainable development will require
redefined and innovative engineering talent and leadership.
• These reasons build up a clear case for training engineers who
would be able to solve the above problems
Rationale : Global Societal Challenges

3. IIT Jodhpur
These engineers are expected to have the following attributes
• Capable of Creative Thinking
• Flexibility to understand and manage rapidly evolving
technologies;
• Ability to identify, define as well as solve problems;
• Proficiency in theory and applications
• Skill for handling out-of-the box engineering challenges
Attributes of Modern Engineers

4. IIT Jodhpur
• A simple effort to address this concern can be: to engage first-
year students in understanding and designing conceptual
solutions for complex techno-social problems like, “food
security”, ”climate change”, “energy crisis”, “health for all”,
etc.
• Students are more motivated to learn—and thus engage in the
behaviors that lead to learning—when they see value in what
they are being asked to do.
• Introducing them to the “big picture” of engineering in the
first year and to “thinking like an engineer” can be motivating
on several levels, including helping to show the relevance of
the concurrent fundamental science and math courses they
are taking.

5. IIT Jodhpur
• Second, beyond learning the necessary technical aspects of
engineering, students must learn intellectual skills, including
the approaches engineers take as they engage in problem
solving and design.
• Design projects in the first year get students into teams early
(replicating “real world” engineering) and connect them with
faculty members for Engineering, Sciences and Humanites .
• Design projects that focus on the social impact of engineering
work may enable students to understand social context of
engineering.
Engineering Design Course
28/02/21 5
Concept Note - Engineering Design
6. IIT Jodhpur
• To focus more heavily conceptual design methods and less on
discipline-specific artifacts,
• Teach that design is open-ended (hence several teams working
independently and in parallel on the same project);
• Solve numerous engineering challenges beyond domains of
traditional disciplines with Science and Humanities as an integral
component
• Learn to thinks and work like engineers by introducing skills like
structuring ill-structured problems, decomposing problems,
identifying parameters and constraints, working in teams, etc.
Course Objectives
28/02/21 6
Concept Note - Engineering Design
7. IIT Jodhpur
• Create avenues for making students continuously engaged in
these intellectual processes throughout the curriculum—not
just in their final year
• Provide continual integrative experiences to help students to
expand and deepen their “internal knowledge structure” of
the discipline which will aid their eventual retrieval and use.
• Expose them with Social context of engineering as an integral
part of this process to help in understanding how the
technology is shaped by the social and how much the
technology can reshape the social.
Course Objectives

8. IIT Jodhpur
• The course will be required to opt a pedagogy that is beyond
the regular class room teaching.
• All B.Tech. Studnted have been divided into 12 groups. With
each group containing ~40 students.
• Within a A group two/three faculty members one from
engineering and one/two from
science/humanities/management background would mentor 5
students’ Team.
• An interdisciplinary team of eight students would work on a
design problem throughout the year.
Course Organization

2nd hour Working on Problem Interaction
10. IIT Jodhpur
• Encourage students to discuss and work collectively in sub groups.
• Interact with students group regularly and through discussion help
them in identifying problem and to evolve design thinking.
• Emphasize on factors such as: novelty, social context , extent of
improvement, acceptability among all stakeholders, technical
feasibility, ease of implementation, etc. during the course.
• Mentor may allocate Research Scholars/M.Tech./M.Sc. Students
• Mentors may refer to other faculty member as required
The role of the mentors

11. IIT Jodhpur
Some of the questions that can be discussed during the
brainstorming sessions are:
• What is the problem which needs to be addressed by a sub
group?
• How is the problem important from social context?
• What methodology will be followed towards solution of the
problem at hand?
• What is the solution proposed? How does it work?
• How is your solution different or better than pre-existing
alternatives?
Some questions to be raised
28/02/21 11
Concept Note - Engineering Design
12. IIT Jodhpur
• The course will be run across two semesters.
• The first semester will emphasize on conceptual design and
analysis of engineering problems and develop the ability to
visualize the solution
• The second semester would focus on realization of conceptual
design to a working prototype. The detailed course content is
given next.
