Centre of System Design (A Centre of Excellence at NITK Surathkal) envisages an Interdisciplinary approach and means for realization of successful engineering systems. It aims at facilitating and providing required environment for all key components of system design.



The Virtual Lab at NITK, hosted by the Centre for System Design (CSD), is redefining education and research by providing remote access to experiments typically conducted in physical labs. CSD's initiatives go beyond virtual labs, engaging in outreach activities and workshops designed to foster innovation, collaboration, and practical learning experiences.
The Centre for System Design (CSD), NITK Surathkal, has developed cost-effective, magnet-free Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) for electric vehicles, including E-rickshaws and E-cycles. Backed by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, the project delivers indigenous motor and controller solutions aligned with the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
The Centre for System Design at NITK Surathkal has spearheaded an E-Mobility initiative, developing a diverse fleet of electric vehicles, including e-cycles, e-scooters, and e-bikes, tailored for campus transportation needs. Utilizing AI algorithms, the project optimizes vehicle deployment and routing based on predicted demand. This initiative positions NITK as a leader in sustainable campus transportation and demonstrates the Centre's expertise in integrating technology for practical, eco-friendly solutions.
