UG Curriculum IIT Madras Profile of a B.T ech/DD study - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

UG Curriculum IIT Madras

Profile of a B.T ech/DD study • Introduction to profession • Basics & fundamentals • Application aspects – Laboratory courses • Electives and higher level courses – Feel for specialisations & research • Case studies & exposure to real world – Ability to handle real situations • Capability for (independent) research

B.T ech./DD programme in MME • Introductory courses – Introduction to Materials Engineering, Science, Engineering and T echnology of Materials – Should enthuse the students towards MME • Basics and fundamentals – Principles of Physical Metallurgy, Metallurgical Thermodynamics, Extractive Metallurgy, Phase Transformations, Transport Phenomena, Mechanical Metallurgy (incl. creep, fatigue and fracture mechanics), Physics of Materials, Characterisation of Materials, Powder Metallurgy, Refractories, Ceramics, Electronic, Magnetic and other properties – Associated laboratories to improve understanding

B.T ech./DD programme in MME (ctd) • Application aspects – Environmental Degradation, Iron and Steel making, Processing of Materials - Forming, Joining and Casting, Computational techniques – Adequate laboratory/demonstration classes • Case studies from the real world – Defects and Failures in Manufacturing and Service, Metallurgical Plant Design – Industrial Training and Lectures • Capability for (independent) research – Project work

Points regarding our MME courses • Introductory courses – T o give a feel of/for materials (without going into depth) – Commonly seen objects (household, domestic & other items) – Common functional objects (engine components etc.) – Unseen functional objects – Specialised objects/components – Inner structures of materials (Optical, SEM, TEM pictures) – Should tie up with the ID 1100 course on design – ID course coordinator to interact with instructor – Instructor to carefully design the course in order to maximise the students’ interest/enthusiasm – General knowledge and fun stuff (esp. in I semester) – More in the form of games/play

Points regarding our MME Courses • Basic & fundamental courses as well as courses concerning application aspects – Overlap should be reduced – Some overlap is needed to ensure continuity • Electives and higher level courses – Should there be electives only for B.T ech/DD? – Pros – Can be pitched at a really advanced level – Cons – Precludes PG students – Cons – Increases total number of courses to be floated – Already reasonable number of PG courses available • Real world & case study courses – Currently in “Self study” mode – More needed?
