The humanity is gearing towards 17 Sustainable Development Goals as agreed by over 180 countries at the United Nations in the year 2015. There is a tremendous potential for the youth to capitalize on the numerous business opportunities that have unfolded as a result. The key objective of this course is to offer students the broad picture of entrepreneurship with a special focus on start up eco-systems. This course would enable students to practically identify business opportunities and relate them to sustainable development goals. Hands on sessions supported by seminars, case studies, guest lectures and practical (group and individual) exercises would enable students to create value proposition canvas, business model canvas, minimum viable product (MVP) and cash flow projections. The culmination of all the activities would finally lead students to pitch their business ideas to potential investors as the final assessment.

All electrochemical devices (e.g. batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells ) are based on fundamental electrochemical principles. These electrochemical principles are derived from (i) thermodynamics, (ii) kinetics, and (iii) mass transport. Students learn the fundamentals of electrochemistry involving involves applying their previous knowledge of thermodynamics, kinetics and transport to electrochemical systems. The fundamental of electrochemistry are applied to specific battery, supercapacitors and fuel cell systems. Practical aspects of these systems, such as manufacturing methods, performance metrics, safety, and wear-out mechanisms are also presented.

The course introduces the fundamental concepts of electric circuits. Heavy emphasis on Kirchoff laws and analysis of basic RLC circuits.
This course introduces students in the New Energy Science and Engineering programme to the fundamentals of electrical power systems, which has become an increasingly important method of distributing and transmitting power and energy. Students will also be inspired to appreciate and perform critical assessment on renewable energy systems so as to elicit advocacy for sustainable power technologies in the future post-carbon era, which include wind and solar electricity, as well as geothermal and small-scale hydroelectric generation. The materials in this subject will be useful to students who will pursue careers or research in electric power systems and renewable energy.
This course helps student to learn how to critically evaluate a wide genre of movies using the laws of physics and some basic estimation techniques. Students will typically be shown a movie clip and asked to quantitatively judge the accuracy of the physics in the scene. Background physics and quantitative training will be given to understand a particular topic. The ability of student to link these physics law and science processes to everyday life is of great importance as students’ attitude toward science may be reflected in the public discussion of important scientific and ethical issue in future. Assignments will involve both solving physics problems and evaluating movie clips with a selected scene.
By the end of the semester, students should acquire increased awareness of science and students would find that understanding some physics can be exciting and rewarding.
Global warming is one of the most threatening crisis in the 21st century and mainly caused by the anthropogenic greenhouse gases. The course is designed to introduce the overview of climate change with a focus on quantification and management of greenhouse gas emission from a life cycle perspective.
