How is the material science program at Anna University?

Material Sciences in CEG started 9 years before and in such a short span it has gained recognition. It has made a significant contribution to the research of the country. The significance of the program has been described on the basis of the following aspects.

Research: Research is the most impressive feature of this course. The funding provided by the Center for Technology Development and Transfer during the third year is extremely helpful and encourages students to take up research.

Faculty: Although the faculty is extremely supportive, some of them lack specialization in materials science.

Course: The course has a variety of options for electives. It is extremely structured and moderate-paced. 

Infrastructure: This is where the course lacks the most. It does not have a separate department and operates under the department of Mechanical Engineering. Also, there is a lack of equipment required for the course.

Alumni: The number of alumni is less as the course has recently started. But most of them are now working at extremely good universities around the world and India or are placed in very good companies (both in core materials science and IT). 

Internships: CEG renders excellent exposure. A vast amount of undergrads perform research in various laboratories across the world during their second and third years. This helps in securing jobs in the future.
