AHMEDABAD, India — The Faculty of Technology (FT) at CEPT University, formerly known as the School of Building Science and Technology (SBST), established in 1982, invites applications to its UG and PG programs for 2025.
Focusing on the requirements of the ever-evolving fields of Civil Engineering, Building Energy Performance, Geomatics, Structural Engineering Design, and Construction Engineering and Management, FT offers unique engineering programs renowned for their problem-solving and outcome-based pedagogy. This approach, coupled with a strong emphasis on practical learning through studio-based projects, equips graduates with the skills and knowledge that is highly sought after by industry leaders in the rapidly evolving urban infrastructure and built environment sectors.
Courses and Admission Details
Five-Year Full-Time B.Tech (Honors) in Civil Engineering (BCE): The only engineering program in India that implements studio-based teaching and works at the intersection of other disciplines of the built environment such as architecture, planning, design, and management. The program provides fundamental education in essential aspects of civil engineering, i.e., structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, transport engineering, advanced surveying, GIS, building services, construction engineering, construction automation and management. For aspirants, this program opens opportunities in the Construction, Sustainable Design, Infrastructure and Management sectors in India and abroad.
Two-Year Full-Time Master of Technology in Building Energy Performance (MBEP): MBEP students delve into scientific principles of building energy performance, including heat transfer, daylighting, and electromechanical systems. They gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technology, evaluating building energy performance and mastering digital simulations. This program, acclaimed internationally, focuses on warm climates, preparing graduates for careers in energy consulting, building design, and research in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, and for research careers in Europe and North America.
Two-Year Full-Time Master of Technology in Construction Engineering and Management (MCEM): The program aims to train engineers and architects to become competent professionals in the field of construction engineering and project management. Ideal for students who are keen to undertake complex projects, master advanced technologies of construction, learn fundamental and advanced principles of project management, this program offers opportunities for successful careers in construction management within government and private construction organisations as well as infrastructure developers and advisory firms in India and abroad.
Two-Year Full-Time Master’s in Geomatics (MGeo): This professional course covers a wide range of geospatial technologies, including Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS, LIDAR, and AI/ML to measure, analyse, digitize and manage the information about the land, infrastructure, under the ocean and natural resources. It provides unique opportunities to wide range of applications in Engineering, Construction, Planning Infrastructure, Developing Smart Cities, Transportation, Telecommunication, Environment and Disaster management, agriculture, business management, health care and many allied fields that are touching human lives.
Two Year Master of Technology in Structural Engineering Design (MSED): This program is the only structural engineering program in the country that equips civil engineers and architects both with the critical industry-ready design skills. Students work closely with practicing structural engineers on live projects individually, which gives them a clear understanding of industry requirements and practices.
This program offers graduates a wide array of career choices in innovative structural engineering, industries, buildings, bridges, port structures and structural rehabilitation, globally.
Prof Aanal Shah, Dean, Faculty of Technology, CEPT University says “M.Tech programs entail application of engineering and scientific principles to building and built-environment related design problems. These problems are increasingly complex while addressing societal, environmental and economic realities of today. The University believes in capturing ideas of design and innovation and critical thinking in its M.Tech programs beyond domain specific disciplines.”
