B.Tech Materials Science and Engineering

The B. Tech Materials Science and Engineering at MIT-WPU is an interdisciplinary programme that trains students to develop advanced polymeric, ceramic, intelligent, smart and composite materials that can be used in various industries like energy, transportation, tissue engineering, drug delivery, construction, consumables, chemicals, healthcare, communication, nanotechnology, and many more.

Students learn how new materials are designed, developed, and tested for a particular application and how they are manufactured, processed, and recycled. The programme combines chemical engineering sciences, basic science such as fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, kinetics and thermodynamics, structure property relations, characterization, processing, material design, modelling and simulation, and life cycle analysis.

Laboratories like Materials Processing and Synthesis, Materials Characterization, and achievements like the research grant of Rs. 157.60 lakh from DBT under DBT-INNOVATE, U.K., " BIOFRESHPAK '' Bio-based packaging for fresh food underscores practical learning. Students gain practical insights through project-based learning and industry partnerships. Industry opportunities range from design and development to manufacturing and sustainability, fostering holistic, practical, and globally competitive MSE graduates. Focus on research and innovation makes it one of the top B. Tech colleges in Pune to offer a Materials Science and Engineering programme.

The emphasis is placed on the development of new and advanced materials while solving real-world problems stemming from frontier areas such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy, sustainability, manufacturing, and other major engineering disciplines. We have taken care that students are thoroughly trained in taking cognizance of economic, legal, social, and environmental factors while solving the problems at hand.
