Proposed course

M. Tech. programme insustainable construction and water resources management

Duration – 2 yearsIntake – 15 students

Cochin University of Science and Technology 9

Course objectives

To equip the students withPractices of sustainable constructionAlternate materials for sustainable habitat Effective resource managementUtilization of recyclable materials Water conservation methods and practicesPractices of zero energy materials and Green building technology

Cochin University of Science and Technology 10

Prospects of the course

Young engineers are exposed to innovative materials, methods and practices of sustainable construction.Engineers are trained to identify and sortout the solutions for the issues like global warmingand resource depletion that lead limit to growth.

Cochin University of Science and Technology 11

Why under Innovative Scheme of UGC?

The proposed course addresses the global priorities in resource management

The proposed programme enables the civil engineers to contribute through the practices of sustainable constructionTo equip the practicing engineers to fight against ‘water war’ through effective water conservation methods and management.

The proposed course is an initiative to fulfil the social responsibility
