Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur has given its nod to set up 02 new departments in the streams of Design, Space Science, and Astronomy. This addition has taken the total count to 20 academic departments in the Institute.
The institute launched the design programme in 2002 and it will now be transformed into the Department of Design. The institute has also planned to introduce a Bachelor of Design programme commencing as early as 2023.
Professor Nachiketa Tiwari, who is the current Head of the Design Programme, will lead the Design Department. The Dept will have a design cell to address the requirements of the industry in the region of new product conceptualization and development, engineering design, product design, user experience, branding, and packaging.
The Institute will devote the Department of Space Science and Astronomy to the broad stream of space, astronomical sciences, planetary, and engineering.
The aim of the institute is to bring together engineers, astrophysicists, astronomers, and planetary scientists through its first-of-its-kind departments in India, as claimed by the Institute, to meet the enhanced requirement of education, research, and training such as Spacecraft Design, Instrumentation for Space Missions and Astronomical Observatories, and Space Mission Planning, among others.
The Institute's newly-established department will offer UG, Masters and PhD programmes.
The Director of IIT Kanpur Abhay Karandikar said, "These two new departments in the fields of design, space science and astronomy will facilitate new research and innovation in these crucial sectors and would broaden up the ever-expanding horizon of research and learning practised at the institute".
