Want a piece of En(genie)ering Physics? You have come to the Wright place! For those who are in the dark, Engineering Physics is one of the newest branches in “Engineering” at IIT Madras. What follows is a description of this branch by two of the branch’s own students. Now, without much further ado, let me present :
The επ-nama
1. By Marlin Jar
Disclaimer: We are gonna Bragg about ourselves and Bohr you to death.
The name being quaint for a B.Tech branch, our bloods Boyle every time we’re asked these Millikan Dollar Questions:
“Watt do you do in EP?”
Every week, from Monday to Faraday, our time is spent Moseley in exploring quantum physics, nuclear physics, statistical physics and curvilinear physiques. Not to mention making PJ’s, Poynting out profs’ blackboard errors, thieving lab equipment and Hawking them in streets.
“Do you have a bright scope after B Tech?”
A difficult Curie to answer. All we can say is our early seniors’ success Gibbs us hope.
“Why just about 10 people in your branch?”
Our small strength is our biggest strength. That’s Gauss too many cooks spoil de Broglie. ( almost redundant… We will be 23 strong in the coming year! )
“Why was this branch created in the first place?”
That’s a Rayleigh nasty question. It Hertz our feelings. Anyway, a necessity to Hooke Physics with Engineering was felt. Hence our profs, both old and Young, went to ESB with their Bose and arrows and said: “Next time it will be LASER waveguides and H-bombs if you don’t agree to our terms.” Thus EP was Born.

2. By the Lightcone:
Now, for a humBell footer to the above :
0. Watt is EP all about?
We Carnot what it is about. Hall we care about is how good we will be at Physics, at the end of Fouriers!
1. Do you have a bright scope after B.Tech?
A very Marie Curie to ask, but Franckly, a very Hardy question to answer!
2. What do the professors usually do in the classes?
They Fert for a while, Vleck our sleep, Bohr us to death, Feyn greatness and Bragg about their research. Period.
The End
Finally,a note to the reader :
0. Please don’t get bugged by the spelling mistakes. Spelling has been sacrificed for a greater cause viz., Laughter.
1. Any new additions would be welcome!
2. De broglie is pronounced as <i>”d’ broi”</i>.
That’s it for now, folks! I think that Mach is enough for one post!
Nice. For the people who wanted to know about Engineering Physics and ended up here, you can take a look at this

Fine-man
a very fine piece of work
keep it up..
very well done…..
Q: what are the requirements to take this course?
A: Al(l)bret(h) students interested in physics can join.
p.s: pronounce e=ig.
Nice ‘Work Done’ by u da…The post is ‘max well’… Its nice tat u have put ‘al ex and er’ ‘new mann’ and woman s’einstein’s names as a Fleming mistake…
Such creativity is not Fermi to judge, but I think it’s marvellously written!
I loved the idea of 11 in a batch, we’re such a close group, thanks to that. I pity that our juniors will not enjoy a small class.
@Marlin Jar: Though there are no curvilinear physiques for us to see around us, I liked that!
Keep up the good work. Enjoyed your second semester report as well. I look forward to reading the third semester report in December.
@Akarsh: I don’t think EP will grow beyond 20. I think a class of 20 is fairly small and will not lose the closeness that you are referring to.
That’s good news! We like the way we sit in a class of 11 very much.
Awesome. .!!
[:D]……..Cool wok man!!…keep it coming[:)]
@Prasanna: Nice article by Suppy. Thanks for pointing it out.
@all : Thanks
Nice footnote, mate!
By the way, I suspect you think my actual name is Marlin Jar, which isn’t. It’s an anagram of ‘Nirmal Raj’, which is.
Post more often!
I didn’t notice this was Naveen’s blog when I commented. Guess the anagram-explanation was unnecessary then.
Thanks N! It is an honour!
