The very word 'materials' invokes a plethora of passions and aspirations, especially into novices like me who are quite oblivious of this ever-emerging discipline, that has encompassed a variety of inter-junctions of almost all the basic sciences. Hence for the alleviation of this widespread oblivion, the materials engineering department organized a day-long informative and educative program for the undergraduates on Saturday, 27th October, 2012, which was a perfect blend of instruction and interaction for all of us.
The program comprised of two lectures, one by Prof. Atul Chokshi and the other by Prof. Praveen Kumar, who discussed and described various astounding phenomena and aspects that occur within the realm of materials, followed by an elaborate visit to the major laboratories in the department, wherein research students and faculty described their research in a very pedagogical and exciting manner, which was equally enthralling, which was followed by a delicious luncheon. The afternoon session had a very fun-filled, yet illuminating quiz which featured several exciting questions and innovative quizzing about materials.
Indeed, the program was a very penetrative, yet succinct excursion into the vast world of the science of 'materials', which I have just gazed into.
