REGULATIONS 2010

Masters in Materials Science and Engineering (M.E degree )

The course provides a broad coverage of subject areas of man-made materials, characterization of materials and materials processes and will provide students with the ideal background to pursue a career in Materials Science and Engineering within either an industrial or an academic environment. This Masters Programme will provide a deeper understanding of the structure of materials from the macro-scale down to the atomic level. The courses will enable students with science background to tailor the properties and fabrication processes of materials in order to create new and innovative products used in domains as varied as energy, aerospace, biotechnology, transport, infrastructures etc. Why Study Materials Science and Engineering? A Masters Degree in Materials Science and Engineering gives access to careers in a wide variety of industries ranging from the production of materials to the manufacture of finished products - such as aeronautics, food industry, metallurgy, automobile industry, electronics, and multimedia. There is also a high demand for materials scientists in government research laboratories and with specialised consultancies.

Why Study Materials Science and Engineering at Sathyabama University ?

The Sathyabama University has a long established national reputation for its research and teaching in engineering. The University houses an INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH CENTRE where the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology functions since 2006. The Centre has commissioned several world class materials processing facilities including Ball Milling, Thermal evaporation, Radio Frequency and Direct Current magnetron sputtering, Electron Beam Evaporation, Thermal Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD), Pulsed Laser Deposition and Spin coating. Additionally, the state–of-art characterization techniques such as Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Rotating anode X-ray diffraction (XRD) with high temperature attachment, epi-fluoresence microscopy and optical microscopy are available at the Centre. These facilities ensure that students will learn Materials Science and Engineering from a team of experts working at the cutting edge of science and technology. What does the Course content provide?

The course provides core modules in the following 10 subjects relevant to the future :

Thermodynamics of Materials

Principles of Materials Engineering

Fundamentals of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Materials Characterization

Materials and Corrosion

Surface Engineering

Advanced Metallic Materials and Processes

Materials for Energy

Polymers and Composites

Ceramics and Bio-materials

Additionally, Students have to choose 5 out of 15 optional subjects as Elective papers.

Students also have to undertake a research project in the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology or in any reputed Research Institute or in Industry. Whilst the majority of research projects involve significant amounts of

hands-on experimental work in the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, the Department of Mechanical Engineering also offers research projects.

Entry requirements

Post graduate degree or equivalent in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry or a graduate degree in Metallurgy or Materials science from an approved institution. Aims All our courses aim to give:

In-depth technical knowledge and advanced expertise in the chosen materials field Excellent analytical and research skills Enhanced project planning and management capabilities and experience

Assessment

Written examinations on course modules at the end of each semester. Continuous assessment associated with specific courses. Essay on specialised topic; dissertation based on individual research project, which may be experimental,

theoretical or industrial based.

Most of the courses are assessed by written examination but there is some continuous assessment associated with specific courses. This may include essays on specialised topics or problems exercises. All students produce a 15,000-word dissertation based on their individual research project, which may be experimental, theoretical or industrial based. Most of the projects will be carried out the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Sathyabama University, while Industrially-based research topics are normally suggested by an industrial organisation, and may involve close co-operation with that organization and the supervisor.
