A Welcome Note from Head of the Department

Dear Students,

Prof. N. Venkataramani

Head, Dept. of Metallurgical Engineering

and Materials Science

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Metallurgical Engineering

and Materials Science, at IIT Bombay.

The department pursues active research in a wide variety of areas. We place a

great deal of emphasis on the research and in recent times research output has

increased significantly. This has been possible due to substantial funding received

from several sponsoring agencies. The number of researchers visiting the

Department has also increased with more faculty members involved in

collaborative research. Increased funding from the Institute has also led to

augmenting the existing infrastructure in the department. These facilities will help

you to get hands-on experience and will also add to the quality of instructional

training that you receive in the department.

You have made the right decision in joining the Department of Metallurgical

Engineering and Materials Science at IIT Bombay. Feel free to interact with the

faculty members and learn more about the exciting opportunities that this

department offers to students.

Welcome again to IIT Bombay.

N. Venkataramani

HOD, MEMS


A Welcome Note From DC (ISCP) and PGAC

Hi Friends,

On behalf of the PG fraternity of MEMS Department, I am pleased to welcome you

all to embark on the most memorable journey of your lives here at IIT Bombay.

MEMS is an amalgamation of various disciplines which gives you an opportunity to

learn a lot of things in many different domains. The department has students and

faculty members from various academic backgrounds; their cumulative knowledge is

what drives this department.

As part of the student community in India‟s premier technical institute, you will get

opportunities to unleash your potential in academic as well as in extracurricular

activities. I strongly believe that a smart atmosphere begets smart people and vice

versa. So, MEMS is not just about learning and academics, you will also get plenty

of opportunities to showcase your talents and have a lot of fun. You are now here in

IIT and we want to congratulate you all for making this far with your excellence and

determination.

I wish you all the best for the upcoming two years of your life. Be in touch with all

the MEMS family members who will always be willing to lend a helping hand. Learn

from your experiences and you are always welcome to clear any doubt in mind with

us.

Let us join hands in the process of learning and experiencing ways of life that will be

everlasting and memorable one.

ISCP (Institute Student Companion Programme)

There is a self-perpetuating and constant feeling of self improvement in every

individual. It is a self-evident fact that our thirst to learn more, has brought us to the

doorsteps of IIT Bombay. The institute has established world-class infrastructure and

facilities for us to accomplish what we are here for. This calls for better coordination

at each and every level of operation.

The Student Companion Programme is specifically designed to cater to the needs of

PG community of IIT Bombay. The post graduate students in the institute face

various issues which are typically non-academic and coalition of academic in nature.

These issues need to be addressed; the ISCP provides a platform for the students to

get help at formal as well as informal lines. The current scenario, thus, calls for a Post

Graduate student-oriented guidance program which addresses their peculiar needs

and helps them in becoming sound scientists, engineers and citizens. The ISCP is in

effect from the academic year 2011-2012, and is monitored by the Dean AP office.

Students are requested to make best use of the resources made available to them by

the ISCP.

Student Counselor at Institute Level

Over and above your friends/ mentors/ faculty (guide), counselling facility is offered

by the institute for addressing students' academic and personal issues. Our student

counsellors are Mrs. Amita Tagare and Ms. Hima Anaredy.

Mrs. Amita Tagare has over 20 years of experience and is directly associated with

the office of the Dean of Students' Affairs (SA). Although official permissions are

obtained through the Dean SA, the student counsellor‟s office functions

independently and provides all the possible help to students.

Ms. Hima Anaredy is newly associated with the Counselling Centre, she has a

experience of counselling students for the last 5 years and is with IIT for more than

a year now. She can be contacted on: 022 25769071 or 9820747079. You can directly

About the Department

The Department of Metallurgical Engineering was set up in the early 1960s

under the leadership of Late Prof. G. S. Tendolkar. During the early days, the

department was endowed with grants to acquire equipment and quickly

established itself as preferred destination for students seeking to do quality

research in metallurgy. Mid-nineties saw an expansion of the department to

encompass areas in materials science. This led to widening of research horizons

to include areas such as polymers, composites, semi-conductors and

computational materials science. Recently, the Corrosion Science and

Engineering program has been formally integrated into the M.Tech. Program of

the Dept. Currently, the Department offers four specializations in the M.Tech.

Program viz. (i) Materials Science (ii) Process Engineering (iii) Steel

Technology and (iv) Corrosion Science and Engineering. The Department of

Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science is devoted to the design,

creation and fundamental understanding of materials that are capable of

enhancing the human experience. The Department is well known for its academic

program, its highly regarded faculty, and the high calibre of its students. Its

continuing record of pioneering advances in engineering sciences and

technologies stems from its ability to relate new developments and advances to

engineering practices, and its close relationship with industry. These advances

are then incorporated in current teaching and research programs.
