In this course, students will be introduced to classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and connections to engineering thermodynamics. Molecular origin of macroscopic descriptions and constitutive relations for equilibrium and non-equilibrium behavior; fluctuations, kinetics, and limitations of macroscopic descriptions. Macroscale continuum origin of lumped models: ‘through’ and ‘across’ variables for analysis of electrical, mechanical, structural, thermal, acoustic, and fluidic systems

2. Plaksha is not just a university. It is a statement of bold aspirations of
21st century India articulated in the vision of its founders for reimagining
higher education.
In the new vision for engineering education, traditional disciplinary
boundaries do not exist and teaching and learning methods continuously
evolve in response to research findings on cognition and learning. In this
model, students will be prepared, through experiential learning, to create
solutions that address complex problems of the modern world. They will be equipped with
intensive grounding in digital technologies, understanding of the physical, natural, and economic
world, teamwork skills, and a training to acquire new knowledge at will as and when required.
Further, our students will have thorough immersion in social sciences so that they develop broad
social perspective and grow up as caring citizens of the world.
At Plaksha, we embrace the deep traditions of scholarship from the ancient universities, such as
Takshashila and Nalanda, to the modern temples of learning from across the world. We are
committed to keep all our students and faculty engaged in continuous research that not only
advances the frontiers of knowledge but also empowers our society with innovations and
technologies that firmly target a sustainable living. Research at Plaksha will form the basic DNA
of the university; it will pervade everything we do. Our research will target the grand challenges
of our world, and influence all learning and teaching on the campus. It is apt that Plaksha's name
is inspired by the tree from which a metaphorical river of learning flows endlessly, nurturing
everything it touches.
I take special pleasure in inviting you to our campus as the Founding Vice Chancellor. Please
come, visit us, and feel the pulse.

Technology Scholars).
About us
#Futurequo

4. Workshop held at Purdue University in January
2020 to deliberate on Plaksha’s majors and
curriculum
We have inked partnerships with 4 eminent institutions - UC Berkeley, Purdue University, SRI
International IIT Kanpur
(erstwhile Stanford Research Institute) and for:
• Creating program design and curriculum
• Faculty exchange and visiting faculty
• Student exchange: Opportunity to do semester abroad and study abroad
• Providing overseas research opportunities for students
Partnering with top institutions

6. It is time to change what is taught and how it is
taught.
Our approach to B.Tech education is project-based
that encourages tinkering, making and innovation.
It not only helps develop deep understanding of
science and technology but also encourages critical
thinking, effective communication and help the
students understand society and people to
creatively solve some of the toughest challenges
faced by our planet.
Our research will focus on solving grand challenges
of the world and push boundaries of innovation
and impact.

13. According to the Indian scriptures, the River Saraswati,
synonymous with learning, originated from a 'world-tree'
called Plaksha.
'Plaksha' therefore reflects the idea of the university
as a tree, from which a river of learning flows
endlessly, nourishing the community.
