    MME @ a glance

    Think about it, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Silicon Age, the major eras of civilization have always followed on the heels of new materials. What's next? Ask a Materials Science Engineer. Materials are key to the next generation of energy and defense technologies of medicine, transportation, and computers. Our work forms the foundation of all engineering. What does it take to build quantum computers? Or stronger but lighter vehicles or bio-chips to catch cancer cells? The engineering challenges we are facing demand stronger lighter, smarter materials, at less development time and a lower cost than the current approaches and industries need these materials.
    Metallurgical and Materials Engineering break through the bottleneck, between today's challenges and tomorrow's solutions. We learn to understand, control, and change how the world works. Learning about how things work in detail, on a microscopic level, it changes the way we think. Here at Amal Jyothi College of Engineering, we are training the next generation of Metallurgical and Materials Engineers to work with industry, entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists. Together, we'll tackle the materials of the future.
    We're probably one of the most collaborative departments because we are needed in every other engineering disciplines in one way or another. We've got one foot inside the door of every industrial sector. You can be a physicist, a chemist, a biologist, and an engineer at the same time. We are a one-stop-shop. If you love science and you want to make the world a better place, the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Amal Jyothi College of Engineering welcomes you to get inspired.

    AJCE MME Department

    Ever since the inception in 2012, the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (MME) has continued its glorious expedition, enlightening young minds to explore the world of materials. AJCE is proud to be the only college in Kerala offering this unique stream of engineering. Whether it is academic excellence or research outputs, the MME department is always in the forefront.
    It is our mission to get established as a pioneer centre of knowledge and research activities in the field of materials science. We feel honoured to have an eminent team of proficient faculties who work persistently for elevating our students to greater heights in the discipline of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.
    The curriculum of our B. Tech program comprises of courses to provide expertise on the design, manufacture, material selection, testing and characterization of materials. Further, industry oriented course like nuclear metallurgy, corrosion engineering, deformation processing etc. are also taught to make the students industry ready. After successful completion of the course, students are presumed to have gained knowledge in extractive metallurgy, physical metallurgy and mechanical Metallurgy. Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is, in fact, the mother of all branches of engineering. Since no engineering is possible without metals and alloys, it is always considered as a most productive branch of engineering and science.
