Student Testimonials
"Amrita gave me an opportunity to improve myself and broaden my skills. With regards to the Engineering design course curriculum, almost all the courses cover basic areas and areas of contemporary research which are especially useful for students who are willing to pursue higher education. The faculties are always willing to give a helping hand to students."
Raghuram, Pursuing Ph. D. in IISc, Bengaluru
"I have completed my master’s degree [2015-2017] from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, India in Engineering Design and as a part of student exchange program I was able to do my master’s thesis from Halmstad University, Sweden in Mechanical Engineering for the duration of 6 months. I did my master’s thesis in Designing a new Mathematical model for floor Vibrations due to sudden Impact and experimentally verified using a new instrument to test floor models and floor material."
Rony Philip, M. Tech. Engineering Design(2015 – 2017)
"My MTech experience at Amrita was very fulfilling. The faculties were extremely competent and helpful, both in reinforcing the concepts I learned during my under-graduate years, as well as extending my knowledge in the field of Mechanical Engineering at the graduate level. My master’s thesis work sparked my interest in research, which has led me to pursue a Ph. D. in Mechanical Engineering. I also had the opportunity to work as a Teaching Assistant for an introductory level technical workshop in the field of nonlinear dynamics, which I found quite useful and motivating. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the faculty members for their support and guidance during my two years at Amrita."
