OBJECTIVE Materials have limited design since man first made clothes, built shelters and waged wars. They still do. But materials and processes to shape them are developing faster now than at any previous time in history; the challenges and opportunities they present are greater than ever before. Design is the process of translating a new idea or a market need into the detailed information from which a product can be manufactured. Each of its stages requires decisions about the materials from which the product is to be made and the process for making it. Normally, the choice of material is dictated by the design. The number of materials available to the engineer is vast: something between 40 000 and 80 000 are at his or her disposal and although standardization strives to reduce the number, the continuing appearance of new materials with novel, exploitable, properties expands the options further. Due to the wide choice of materials, today’s engineers are posed with a big challenge for the right selection of a material and the right selection of a manufacturing process for an application. Material selection for the automotive market is driven by cost and energy efficiency. The aerospace market emphasizes high performance and lightweight materials. Consumer products, where performance is not a critical factor, are driven by cost and handling. The sporting goods market demands high performance and lightweight materials. The marine industry emphasizes lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials. With the technological advancements, new material systems and processes are being developed and are growing faster than ever before. This workshop has been designed to address the above issues and to explore the newly emerging materials applied in scientific and engineering fields. COURSE OUTLINE • Introduction to Emerging Materials in Scientific & Engineering Applications • Smart Materials/Bio-Medical Materials • Composite materials /Aerospace Materials • Materials for Automotive Applications • Nano-Materials for Engineering Applications • Advanced Materials in Defence Applications • Semi-Conductor Materials/Hybrid Materials

ABOUT THE COLLEGE The Aarupadai Veedu Institute of Technology is one of the premier engineering colleges under Vinayaka Missions University.
