Programme Education Objectives (PEOs)
I.To provide students with in-depth knowledge of Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science aspects such as scientific principles of fabrication, phase transformations, mechanical treatment, heat treatment, structure-property correlations and service behavior of various types of materials necessary to formulate, solve and analyze critical engineering problems.
II.To train the students for successful careers in metallurgical and manufacturing industry, academics, in the field of research and development that meet the needs of Indian and multinational companies, R&D organizations and also prepare them for higher studies.
III.To make the students capable of solving unfamiliar problems through literature survey, deciding a suitable research methodology and conducting interdisciplinary/collaborative-multidisciplinary scientific research as per the need.
IV.To inculcate in students the art of reflective learning, build hands-on experimental skills, make them familiar with modern engineering software tools and equipments, so as to make them capable of working independently or as a part of a team for successful project implementations in their professional life.
V.To inculcate in students leadership qualities, techno-economical and social considerations, an aptitude for life-long learning, and introduce in them the professional ethics and codes.
VI.To develop the students' abilities in communicating technical information in both written and oral form.
