School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences

Vision:To provide intellectual, congenial and vibrant atmosphere for developing state of the art education and research in Earth System Sciences guided by an integrated systemic view of Earth-Ocean-Atmospheric interaction processes for sustainable development.

Earth is a complex and dynamic system. While understanding and appreciating its working is essential, knowledge of its dynamics is not only important but also necessary for sustainable living. Earth scientists, atmospheric scientists and oceanographers have challenging responsibilities to help guide the planet through the current climate crisis.

The School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has been set up taking the aforesaid into consideration. Though rich in natural resources, Odisha is also prone to natural calamities like flood, drought, tropical storms and cyclones. The region also faces massive problems of pollution due to large mining operations and coal combustion, costal erosions, mangrove depletion etc. The famous Chilka lake and bio-reserve areas like Similipal are under severe threats. Even though these appear as local and regional problems, they have far reaching global implications.

It is the aim of the School to create well trained, educated and competent human resource to address various issues like protection of water and air, development of renewable energy, hydrocarbons, disaster prediction and preparedness, watershed and flood management, coastal erosion, environment pollution assessment, resource conservation and recycling, development of clean technologies, climate change prediction and impact on socio-economic well-being.

The School shall offer both undergraduate and post graduate level degree programmes besides doctoral research avenues. The proposed programmes are designed to impart state-of-the-art education and training on both fundamental and applied aspects of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences besides enabling the students to carry out cutting edge research in Earth System Sciences.

School of Electrical Sciences

Mission:The mission of the School of Electrical Sciences is to shape graduates into hardcore professionals who would become effective leaders and noteworthy innovators in the technology areas of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Science and Knowledge Engineering. While producing competent professionals and responsible citizens, it is also our endeavour to ensure that our graduates adhere to ethical values in life and be sensitive to environmental and social issues. It is also part of our mission to motivate and encourage our students to engage in lifelong learning which would help them keep abreast with contemporary developments in their fields of operation and enable them to leverage on the power of knowledge to become outstanding performers in whatever careers they choose.

Vision:The School of Electrical Sciences is envisioned to be in the vanguard of learning and research activities to be undertaken by IIT Bhubaneswar and would be providing the expertise and environment to mould high quality professionals and technology leaders in the broad areas of Electrical Engineering. It aims to offer world class undergraduate, graduate and research programs in cutting-edge technology of Electrical Engineering to equip talented minds to scale new professional heights.

School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Management

Mission and Vision:Scientific temper can only thrive and proliferate in a holistic environment-an environment that boasts of an optimum mix of rationality and art. The School of Humanities and Social Sciences projects the humane face of technology that aims to infuse in the students a sense of conscientiousness through the study of Literature and Language. It is imperative that budding scientists and engineers should be sensitive and sensible in order to appreciate the finer things in life. The school envisions in making men that are receptive and responsive in temperament, and secular and responsible in character. It also aims to produce technocrats, who can contribute productively to the world of economics and commerce.

Creative thinking besides technical expertise is essential for engineers and scientists in the making. It is the School’s aim to nurture and augment the creative faculties of its students. Visualisation of an abstract idea or concept before giving it a form or a structure is an exercise that the school wishes to put to practice to develop cognitive abilities of young minds.

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences aims at creating a syllabus that will help students and scholars to develop into well rounded personalities. It wishes to propagate knowledge that is utilitarian and aesthetic in its makeup.

School of Minerals, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (SMMME)

The School of Minerals, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (SMMME) at IIT Bhubaneswar, established in 2012, is a unique initiative in the present science and technology education and research scenario of India. It is perhaps the only school among premier institutes where minerals, metals and materials have come into a collaborative existence with a mission to be locally relevant and globally competitive. Located in the state of Odisha, one of the most mineral rich states of India, the school is aware of the fact that the maximum economic benefit from a mineral could be harvested via a processing route where the in-situ mineral is economically transformed to its final commercial product, leading to ultimate societal upliftment. The school with faculty from a diverse background of minerals, metals and materials is gearing up to achieve this end.

Currently, the focus of school activities is multi-directional with an emphasis on both research and education. Even at its incipient stage, the school has drawn a road-map to progress via partnership. Accomplishments in this direction include: (a) entering into a MoU with the Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT) at Bhubaneswar to foster R&D and teaching by pooling of the individual inner resource; (b) setting up a collaboration with Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at Warwick University, UK allowing student and faculty exchange; (c) receiving a generous endowment of 30 million INR from MGM Group (a leading mining and steel company in Odisha) to establish a permanent Chair Professorship. Further collaborative research and academic ventures with universities in Europe and USA are also in the pipeline. The school has started the first Masters Program in Materials Science and Engineering from August 2012 with students coming from all four corners of the country. Presently, the SMMME-team is focused in setting up a vibrant research facility in minerals, metals and materials by 2013 and also start an undergraduate curriculum at the earliest.
