Expected outcomes:
CO1: Students will be able to describe the type of bonding and categorize different engineering
materials for various applications
CO2: To correlate the mechanical / functional / magnetic / thermal / electrochemical behavior of
materials on structure, composition, processing
CO3: To understand different properties exhibited by materials such as strength, elongation,
wear,
creep and design a component by careful material selection for long-term sustainability
CO4: To have a basic knowledge of different notations used in metallurgy and materials science
such as defects, dislocation, glass transition, etc.

Tentative timetable:
M: 07:55 AM, T/W/Thu: 04:05 PM
Class Rules:
• Students are expected to be present in the class before the instructor arrives.
• Few slides and course related files will be shared in IRIS-Moodle. Black-board teaching/PPT
will be followed predominantly, so students if needed should make notes by themselves.
• Rules and regulations to be followed are as per the NITK UG Curriculum (Available on the
institute website)
a) Attendance requirement is as per G7 and G8 of UG Curriculum (Page 12)
