Course Overview

The Defects in Materials certification course is a 12-week duration programme. The certification course aims to provide a brief introduction to the various types of defects and how their interaction can used to control the properties. The certification course covers a comprehensive curriculum that covers a brief introduction to perfect crystals, defect classification in crystalline systems, and defect interaction.

Students will learn the role of defects in controlling, and introduction to techniques for characterization of defects. The Defects in Materials certification by NPTEL equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge of the industry. They will also gain in-depth knowledge of the role of dislocations in static and dynamic strain ageing, the strength of alloys, deformation of poly-crystals and fracture.

Eligibility Criteria

Certification Qualifying Details

The candidates must register to write an examination and qualify to receive a certificate upon competition of the Defects in Materials online course.

What you will learn

After completing the Defects in Materials certification syllabus, the candidates will learn about the brief introduction to perfect crystals including lattice geometry, point group, space group and crystal structures. With hands-on training from industry experts, they can apply the techniques and principles in real-world projects learned during the certification course.

With the robust course curriculum, the students will gain a deep understanding of defect classification in crystalline systems, and defect interactions upon the completion of the Defects in Materials training. They will also learn about the interaction between point defects and dislocations, the interaction between precipitates and dislocations, work hardening, strength of alloys, deformation of poly-crystals and fracture.
