Fractal Academics

At IITH we are exploring Fractal Academics, which is a new approach to structuring curriculum. You can read more about it in the Fractal Academics Brochure. Sections specific to EE curriculum are listed below for your convenience

Fractal Segments

In the fractal system, a semester is divided into six segments. Each segment is approximately 2.5 to 3 weeks in duration. Every fractal course is accompanied by a two-digit segment number indicating the duration of the course. The first number denotes the segment in which a course will begin and the second number the segment in which it will be completed. For example, Segment 34 means, a particular course will begin in segment-3 and finish at the end of segment-4. Typically, a course running for full the semester (i.e., all six segments) would be 3-credits; so each segment will be equivalent to 0.5 credit. Accordingly, the credit of a course will be decided, based on its segment data. For example, if the segment of a course is 56, it implies that the course will be running in two segments (5 & 6). Hence, it will be 0.5 * 2 = 1 credit.
