Emerging economies like India are focusing on manufacturing indigenous engineering products, with aerospace, defense, and urban mobility being the key sectors. This has increased the use of advanced lightweight composites for weight savings, improving fuel economy, payload, quality, and service life- a trend expected to grow. This calls for highly skilled engineers with proficiency in designing, developing, testing, and manufacturing parts and assemblies involving advanced composite materials.
The School of Engineering and Applied Science at Ahmedabad University will offer a new Master of Technology programme specialising in Composites from 2024-2025. This programme is being offered in partnership with Ahmedabad Textile Industry's Research Association (ATIRA) who have pioneered design, development and testing of composites. Aligned with industry needs, the programme will provide comprehensive knowledge about composites design and materials, tooling, testing, manufacturing supply chain, quality assurance, and industry-related professional practices.
