The University has established many schools with wider flexibility, on par with a faculty status to achieve its avowed objective of intellectual and comprehensive development of its students community, ably supported by a team of faculty who are well
, ably supported by a team of faculty who are well qualified, competent, vibrant, innovative and highly resourceful in their respective domains. The schools encourage flexible methodology, having multidisciplinary system with purposeful interdisciplinary perception, aiming at the emancipation of knowledge in core and applied facets of education. The School of Technology contains the following department.
The field of materials science is one of the rapidly developing field. The Department of Materials Science at CUTN has evolved from the tradition of collaboration across disciplines by exploiting the latest breakthroughs in Chemistry, Physics, and Life Science as well as emerging techniques from Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical Engineering to create better materials. Materials are crucial to the performance and reliability of virtually every technology. The central theme of materials science is that the process by which a material comes into being determines its structure, which in turn controls its properties and ultimately its functional performance. The teaching and research philosophy of the department is to impart the students with the understanding of the interplay between major aspects of materials science, namely, composition, structure, processing, characterization, and properties and equip them to develop innovative technologies based on sound fundamental principles. Our departmental vision is to foster the individual growth of our students so that they gain practical experience and knowledge in areas of materials theory, synthesis, and characterization and master experimental design and the interpretation and presentation of results. Interests within the Department span the entire materials cycle from mining and refining of raw materials, to production and utilization of finished materials, and finally to disposal and recycling. There are rich variety of problems of vital importance to the development of the science of metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses, electronic materials, biomedical materials, composites, and other materials awaiting solution. The Department has the computational and experimental resources available to attack these scientific and engineering problems successfully.
