Metallurgy & Materials Engineering combines engineering, physics, and chemistry principles to solve real-world problems associated with coarse metallurgy and advanced material science. MME is unique for its balance of basic science pivots on the relationships among the (structure, processing, properties, performance) and practical applications. The department\'s academic programs combined with research address all areas of materials, applied in any domain of human venture, including sustainability, energy, healthcare, nanotechnology, and manufacturing.

To provide students with the fundamental knowledge, skills and hands-on experience through quality education and research environment. In addition, the department aims to produce graduates striving to meet the challenges of industry and society

Program Objectives

SCME has defined and established its program educational objectives (PEOs) keeping in view the desirable attributes of our graduates and crafting the program learning outcomes (PLOs) for the program. The process of formulating PEOs involved reviewing and harmonizing these with the university’s vision and mission statement, with rigorous involvement of senior echelons of the school. Based on the mission spelled for SCME, the following are the four educational objectives set Materials Engineering Department:

PEO-1	To excel as materials engineers in traditional and emerging fields with sound engineering knowledge and to attain the ability to solve complex engineering problems using modern tools.
PEO-2	To enhance their professional skills and technical knowledge through life-long learning
PEO-3	To lead or participate in efforts to address societal and technical / business challenges.
PEO-4	To practice and adhere to the principles of professional ethics, keeping in mind the social and environmental implications.
