Welcome to Materials Sciences Program

We live in the world of materials and every human being to some extent or other is materialistic. Materials Science has started revolution in science and technology over past many decades, in 1920’s nuclear materials, in 40’s semiconductors, in 60’s lasing material and in 80’s nanomaterials, conducting polymers and superconductors, every time a new revolution. It is now an integral part of contemporary basic and applied sciences.

Materials Science students will take courses in Materials processing, understand their properties, physics and chemistry behind them, computer programming, mathematics and the life sciences. The students will learn advanced computer skills such as the use of graphics workstations and high-performance computers. Furthermore, students will acquire interdisciplinary knowledge that will help them to understand the limits of materials and the change of their properties with use, to select a material for a given use based on considerations of cost and performance and to create new materials that will have some desirable properties and apply in solving real-world problems.

In order to prepare the future to be graduate students of Materials Science Program, an introductory course on Materials Science should be included for undergraduate science programs (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, and Mathematics).

Vision Statement

The vision of the Materials Science Program is to become a center of excellence in Materials Science education and research committed for the betterment of the society through quality and creative teaching and cutting edge research. The program strives for becoming a bridge between technology and business that will meet the needs of the nation.

Mission Statement

The Mission of Materials Science program is to train graduate students who will serve the nation for proper utilization of its resources through acquired research based training. The program will also engage in research and education of materials that can improve the life the society.
