Course Objectives	This course aims to acquaint the students with surface, near surface and interface phenomenon since many everyday situations concerning manufacturing engineering are very much dependent on interfacial processes.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students will develop an understanding of interfaces, its thermodynamics and the forces involved in their formation. Students will get acquainted with solid surface energies, adsorption isotherms, liquid solid interfaces, wetting Students will attain knowledge of surface roughness, and cleaning processes. Students will cultivate understanding of surface wear and friction. Students will learn plating, vapor coating as well as organic coating processes.
Course Content	Interfacial forces, thermodynamics of interface, study of solid surfaces, interfaces between liquid and solid, surface cleaning methods, surface wear, plating and coating methods, marine biofouling, advances in anti-fouling marine and biomaterial surfaces, smart surfaces.
