Overview:
Centurion University’s School of Engineering and Technology (SoET) is an open platform for diverse voices where learning is integrated to the real world and students are groomed to join the global workforce. Students at SoET benefit from the industry domain-based curriculum taught in over 60 industry-sponsored production labs. It focuses on projects, products, and production, fostering a thriving start-up culture. All disciplines are immersed in smart engineering technologies, making them capable of multidisciplinary thinking and problem-solving. A student-centric pedagogy, project-based approach and design-driven curriculum provide students with an inclination for complex problem solving, design, innovation, and a passion for learning. The university adopts flexible pedagogy, which encourages multidisciplinary thinking with a problem-solving focus. Adopting the cafeteria approach (CBCS) to learning, students can also pick any specialized domain from any discipline based on their passion and interest. The mission of SoET through its various programs is to build individuals who are technically competent, community-centric, and driven to make transformational change. With the implementation Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 tools and technologies, students are prepared to be the workforce of the future
SoET is committed to Sustainable Development Goals focusing on Quality Education, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Clean Water and Sanitation and Affordable and Clean Energy. The school`s academics is developed in a way which enables the students to specialize in specific “Domains for Transformation”. Similarly, “Skills for Success” enables students to choose a skill course of his choice irrespective of area of studies. Sustainable usage of energy is ensured through an off grid solar station which powers a part of the campus. E-mobility solutions with electric and hybrid vehicles ensures to make the campus and environment Carbon neutral. Rainwater harvesting ensures year-round usage of rain water for different purposes. Water wastage is also minimized through water recirculation from Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to an in-situ and independent floral and faunal ecosystem, “Bee Butterfly and Cactus” (BBC) garden. The STP and garden were designed and simulated using Dassault tools and also with Augmented and Virtual Reality. Both STP and BBC garden were constructed by the in-house team of the University providing experiential learning to students. Overall, SoET strives to align itself to different SDGs and progress towards a sustainable future.
