Shiv Nadar University launches dual degree in engineering with Carnegie Mellon University


The Shiv Nadar University today announced the launch of the  Carnegie Mellon Shiv Nadar Program in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).

These four-year undergraduate engineering degree programs will award students dual degrees – a Bachelor of Technology from Shiv Nadar University and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University

Launched as part of the program offerings of  SNU’s School of Engineering and CMU’s College of Engineering, the Shiv Nadar Carnegie Mellon Program will commence in August 2013. Students will spend the first and third year of the Program at the SNU campus in Greater Noida and the second and fourth year at CMU’s Pittsburgh Pennsylvania campus, with opportunities to undertake summer internships in  both the US and India.

The program’s integrated curriculum and the periods in India and the US will expose students to a unique bi-national experience that will prepare them to succeed in an  increasingly globalized working environment.

Announcing the partnership, Nikhil Sinha, Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University said, “Each year, more than 40,000 Indian students go overseas in search of global exposure and world class educational opportunities. Global education has always been a big dream for Indian students, particularly over the last two decades. This uniquely designed Program, which merges the best of SNU and CMU, is truly global in nature and will provide students an opportunity to acquire a world class education while also gaining unprecedented global experience. We believe that  the Program and our partnership with CMU will be transformational for undergraduate engineering education in India.”

Mark Kamlet, Provost & Executive Vice President, Carnegie Mellon University said, “After a decade long successful partnership with the Shiv Nadar Foundation, we are now pleased to take this relationship to the next level with the undergraduate engineering programs at SNU. Indian students are  among the brightest in the world and this program through its dual campus structure will provide them a great opportunity to learn from some of the best educators at both CMU and SNU. We believe that the Shiv Nadar University and Carnegie Mellon University share the same educational philosophies and objectives and this partnership will offer students the best of the both worlds through global curricula and pedagogy.”
    
Admissions to the program will commence in Spring 2013 (February 2013) and applicants will need to meet both SNU and CMU’s admissions criteria, including taking the SAT and TOEFL.
