CourseName:Undergraduate Research - I
Course Type:
Description:A student may like to explore different areas before pursuing a project. The objective is to allow
such motivated students to pursue independent work closely supervised by a faculty member. While these
courses are called “undergraduate research”, they need not necessarily be ‘research’ in the sense that applies
to post-graduate students. Examples of such activity are projects being pursued by many students in the
Center for Innovation, IITM Satellite effort etc. The idea is to enable the student to ‘learn to learn’, while
getting something useful accomplished.
CourseContent:A student should sign up with a faculty member with a specific proposal of what (s)he
expects to accomplish during the course of the semester, including some milestones along the way. This
should be a detailed document, which will be submitted to the HoDs office, signed off by the faculty
supervisor, before registration. It is therefore expected that some effort has already gone into thinking of a
realistic plan of work. The supervisor should ensure that the proposal entails an amount of work appropriate
for the credit received. An undergraduate research course should involve about 105 hours of work over the
duration of a semester, including report writing. A report, due at the end of the course, should also serve as a
useful experience in documentation and technical writing. Students spend significant time on such projects,
and pick up valuable skills in core engineering. They also experience the power of teamwork, and hone soft
skills in the form of making presentations, explaining their work to a general audience etc. Such activity
currently receives no academic credit; and the “undergraduate research” courses are a way of allowing
students to involve themselves head-on into such work without overloading themselves. These ‘undergraduate
research’ credits can also be earned as part of a team project, and such teamwork should be encouraged
whenever possible. However, a clear division of responsibility in the initial proposal, as well as individual final
reports, emphasizing their personal contributions to the project should be sought for evaluation. Evaluation
criteria should be left to the discretion of the departments. We propose that a B.Tech student be allowed to
sign up for a maximum of 3 such courses over the duration of his/her programme, and should be allowed to do
so even during the summer term. These credits should count towards free electives.

CourseName:Urban Resilience
Course Type:
Description:The purposes of this course are to help students: • Articulate resilience challenges and
opportunities facing global cities, and how local and regional context shapes these resilience challenges and
opportunities • Describe the holistic and integrated nature of resiliency and its key drivers, and how
transdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder engagement is essential for cities to shape resilience and inclusive
prosperity • Work in cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary teams, in both global virtual and intense face-
face formats, to address specific challenges posed by the City of Chennai
CourseContent:Expected Outcomes: The students will engage with practical case studies to investigate how
cities achieve goals for building urban resilience and face the challenges in complex urban systems and multi-
hazard environments. The students will analyse existing tools that aim to support urban resilience, and assess
the premises and approaches used. Further, the students will also examine key international urban resilience
strategic frameworks including those of UN-Habitat, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC), Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCRN) and United Nations International
Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). Course Contents: Module 1: Introduction: This module
provides an overview of the global situation regarding cities and climate change, global urban environment
trends, advances on localization and implementation of SDGs, the New Urban Agenda, and the most recent
development in the implementation of Paris Agreement. Module 2: Climate Adaptation & Resilience in Cities:
This module discusses how cities contribute to climate change and on the other hand how it is impacted by
climate change impacts and natural disaster events. It will also explain how sound integrated urban planning
can increase climate resilience and compatibility of the city, preventing and reducing loss and damages and at
the same time bring multiple benefits from of low-carbon/green infrastructure. Module 3: Urban environment
and resource efficiency: This module provides the concepts in sustainable urban environment and urban
environment management as well as relevant examples and case studies from the regions or cities with
similar economic context. The module has a focus on the cities’ efficiency, green infrastructure and the
circular economy approach as sound and sustainable urban environmental solutions. Module 4: Action Plan:
In this last module, participants elaborate their own action plans and strategies for the implementation and
localization of the SDG11 in their city, with selected integrated interventions for improving their city’s climate
resilience, urban environment and resource efficiency.
