Materials Science by R.S. Khurmi, Dr.R.S. Sedha

No Course module in science or engineering may remain static. Not only does technology advance and scientific understanding increase, but the academic framework (syllabus) also undergoes changes. Thus, periodic revisions are desirable in an effort to optimize the value of a textbook for students who will be tomorrow's engineers.

Developments in the field of superconductivity have been exciting. Today we have a tunneling electron microscope (TEM) which can be used to gather scientific data of different materials to provide new insights. During the last two decades, the evolving structure of the academic environment has had a more direct impact on introducing material courses within engineering curricula. Whereas academic environments will continue to have specialists in metals, polymers, and ceramics, the trend has been towards departments of materials science and engineering.
