List of courses and descriptions of courses that will appear

in the final transcript, but are not in your current transcript

● Course​ : MM 206-Experimental Techniques in Materials Science

Description​: ​This course is designed to give a basic exposure to the experimental
techniques that are available for the characterization of materials. The goal of the course is
to get students acquainted with basic characterization technique and enable them to quantify
material properties like density, surface area, organic-inorganic content, conductivity,
morphology, porosity etc.. ​The course starts with the basics of structure of materials- You’ll
revisit lattice structures, point groups, space groups, XRD analysis, fcc-bcc,etc. Further he
will teach about some characterization techniques which are very basic and are used for
characterizing almost everything. These include DTA, TGA, DSC, their working and
applications.

● Course​ :ME 220-Theory of Machine and Machine Design

Description​: ​Kinematics of linkages, cams and gear trains. Velocity and static force
analysis. Geometry of gear teeth. Spur, helical, worm and bevel gears. Belt and chain drives,
couplings, clutches, and brakes. Design considerations-material selection, allowable stresses
and deflections, fatigue and factor of safety. Design of welded joints. Keys, splines and
cotters. Design of shafts. Bearing selection. Considerations in pressure vessel design. Thin
cylinders.

● Course​ :EE 209-Electrical/Electronics Lab

Description​: ​This course is an introductory course and one can work hands on with
electronic devices. It also helps familiarize you with the Transformers. Grading during lab
sessions are done based on results in the Electronics lab. In the Electrical lab, which
involves transformer, one has to perform an experiment as demonstrated by the T.As for
different parameters and submit a report.

● Course​ :MM 220-Computation Lab

Description​: ​Lab concentrates on three languages : Octave, Matlab and Python. The courses
introduces one to each of the language one by one with the help of some solved examples
and further problems to be solved on your own.
● Course​ :MM 359-Metal Casting and Joining
Description​: Casting​: Introduction to moulding and casting process. Casting properties of
liquid metals. Casting defects. Patterns. Gating and risering systems.
Solidification​: Homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. Rate of nucleation.
Solidification of single phase metals and alloys. Constitutional supercooling. Solidification
of multiphase alloys. The structure of ingot. Control of grain structure.
Joining​: Principles of fusion and non-fusion methods of joining metallic, ceramic and
composite materials. Arc, plasma, electron-beam and laser welding processes. Adhesive
bonding of metal/polymer and composite systems. Corrosion characteristics of welds.
Automation in welding.

● Course​ :MM 320-Process Metallurgy Principles

Description​: Part-A​: Mineral processing Metallurgical accounting and control,
characterization of particles, sizing, fluid dynamics, comminution, liberation, gravity
separation, surfaces and interfaces, froth flotation, Solid-liquid separation.
Part-B: Extraction metallurgy Thermodynamic principles, reaction kinetics, fuel
preparation, copper and zinc smelting. Hydrometallurgy principles and unit operations,

● Course​ :MM 323-Manufacturing and Processing Lab

Description​: ​This course deals with some industrial level manufacturing processes at a
small scale in the laboratory. It gives exposure to various processes through which different
materials are synthesized and their characterization. Mostly includes synthesis of glass,
combustion synthesis of materials, polymer processing, dilatometer experiment and powder
compaction etc along with characterization of materials synthesized using techniques like
FTIR, SEM, XRD and DTA etc.
● Course​ :MM 312-Heat Treatment Laboratory
Description​: ​Determination of critical temperatures, hardenability, effect of cooling rates
quenching media. Studies of tempering phenomena, carburising, heat treatment of special
steels. Group discussions on heat treatment processes like annealing, normalising, hardening
and tempering, special heat treatment processes like austempering, martempering surface
hardening, carburising, carbonitriding, nitriding, cyaniding etc.
