Synopsis : MATERIAL SCIENCE provides students with an understanding of

material science and engineering which emphasizes on atomic and
crystal structure, material properties and behaviour including material
classification and its application in the engineering field. The topic also
covers the processes of metal work used to produce engineering
components and apply basic principles of material testing and
processing through practical.
