Metallurgy department invites entries of papers for the paper presentation contest Ideaz.

. This year topics for paper presentation are as follows :

MATERIAL SCIENCE It is realized that the modern technology has resulted mostly from the extensive research on development of novel and advanced materials. The industries are looking forward to newer materials and innovative processing techniques to overcome the constraints and to improve their efficiency. The idea should belong to one of the field 1. Ceramics and Ceramic Materials Properties, types, and applications of ceramics and ceramic materials, new material development in ceramics. 2. Electrical and Electronics Engineering Materials Science and technology of electrical and electronic materials, new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, insulators and optical and display materials.

METALLURGICAL SCIENCE Metallurgy is a broad field that impacts most other engineering fields as it develops core materials that can enhance the function of many products and systems. It deals with problem solving: youll develop the sorts of metallic alloys needed for different types of manufacturing and construction. The problem or idea should be connected with 1. Degradation of Materials This includes mechanisms of materials degradation, its control by surface engineering, and application of control techniques. The main subcategories are as follows: Corrosion, crystallographic defects, fracture mechanics.

General Rules 1 Any undergraduate or masters student of any discipline is eligible to participate in this event. However PhD students and research scholars are not allowed to present their papers 2 Each team may have a maximum of three members. 3 No team is allowed to send more than one entry for the same departmental cell, but you are free to send multiple entries provided your papers are related to different cells. 4 Each category will have three prizes and participation certificates for all the participants. 5 This event will be conducted in two stages and its detailed procedures have been clarified below.

STAGE-I: Abstract Submissions

1) Participants are needed to send in the abstract of the original/review work including the references, the idea proposed with figures (if needed) to cognizance12.meta@gmail.com. 2) Abstract should not exceed 500 words and the covering page of the abstract must have Name(s), Institution of study, Email address(s), contact number(s), Name of the cell you wish to present the paper in, & Topic of paper presentation. 3) Your email should have the category name as your subject and your file name should have the title of the concerned paper. For Example, A paper on simulation of a Hydrocracker unit in a refinery unit should have its mail subject as Modeling, Simulation, Design and Process Control and its title as Simulation of Hydrocracker unit. 4) Selection to the next round for final presentations will be based on the abstract submitted. 5) Deadline for Abstract Submissions is 15TH February 2012. 6) The result for the first round will be put up on the website till 17 February 2012 and will also be mailed to you.

7) For any particular queries regarding paper presentations, please contact the event coordinators (contacts have been mentioned below).

STAGE-II: Full Paper Submissions

The second round will be conducted at IIT Roorkee during COGNIZANCE 2012 (23-25 March). 1) Participants should submit their full paper in .doc and .pdf format. You need to bring three hardcopies of your complete paper (i.e. printed report) & two passport size photographs of each participant along with all the necessary details attached. 2) Formatting rules should be strictly followed. A font type of Bookman Old Style with a font size of 12 should be kept. 3) Participants should ensure that their papers include all relevant figures, tables and bibliography. 4) Submissions, in any case, should not exceed 12 pages in length, double-columned.

Final Presentations

1) Final Presentations should be in .ppt format strictly and should be timed for 15 min. (12 minutes for presentation and 3 minutes for Question and Answer round. 2) The decision of the judges shall be final and binding.

Submit your entries and mail your queries to cognizance12.meta@gmail.com
