Course Overview

The Surface Engineering of Nanomaterials certification course is scheduled for eight weeks and falls under Metallurgy, Material Science, and Mining Engineering. The study’s main objective is to enhance the performance capabilities of nanomaterials when used with some matrix. This can be achieved by modifying the properties of the surface. 

The Surface Engineering of Nanomaterials online training deals with solid surfaces and how their modifications result in various applications with improved electrical and thermal properties. The AICTE has also approved this elective FDP course. It covers multiple concepts from microencapsulation, the kinetics of release and plating to deposition, surface modification methods, and chemical vapor deposition. 

The Surface Engineering of Nanomaterials certification curriculum has been designed so that the academic requirements of both undergraduate and postgraduate students are catered to. Moreover, the course is offered by Professor Kaushik Pal, an associate professor in the Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering.
