Course Overview

The Properties of Materials (Nature and Properties of Materials: III) program is an eight-week elective course that brings forth materials’ electrical and mechanical characteristics. This introductory training also familiarises students with metals’ electrical properties, semiconductors, Drude theory, band theory, and other vital concepts. This is an IIT Kanpur offering at the undergraduate-level without any enrolment prerequisites.

The Properties of Materials (Nature and Properties of Materials: III) certification syllabus also deals with mechanical properties’ notation, elastic properties, strengthening mechanisms, thermal properties, basic elasticity, and metals’ plastic deformation. The entire curriculum belongs to the ‘Mining Engineering’ and ‘Metallurgy and Material Science’ categories, taught by IIT Kanpur’s Professor Ashish Garg through virtual lectures.

The Properties of Materials (Nature and Properties of Materials: III) training also offers digitally-verifiable certificates to eligible students who score adequately in their weekly assignments and program-end test. This requires a registration fee and attending the examination in-person at Swayam’s designated centers across the country.
