Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has launched an online certification course on Construction Technology and Management, which will teach the latest advances in construction technology and management practices. This course is aimed at working professionals in structural design and construction firms but also at faculty in engineering colleges as well as students who intend to work in the construction industry and will expose them to cutting-edge construction management techniques and methods.
The course is also in line with the ‘Anaivarukkum IITM’ (IITM for all) vision of V. Kamakoti, director, IIT Madras, and to make an IIT-Quality education available to the wider society. The Institute aims to take this course to every practicing engineer and interested professional as well as students.
The course would be taught in online mode, which includes 126 hours of recorded online instruction and 42 hours of online live interaction with the faculty experts. A group of experienced senior faculty at IIT Madras will teach this course. The course will be offered through CODE.
