      SMART MATERIALS
 SMART Materials are special solids which 
 can  be  tailored  to  develop  desired 
 properties applied for fabrication of devices 
 leading to societal benefits
                       Materials Engineering
  Materials, Materials Science and Materials Scientist play a 
  very vital role in the development of a country
              Properties of materials are size dependent
  Materials scientist claim that 21st century is the century of 
  materials and especially nanomaterials/smart materials
