TERM WORK DATA
SUBJECT CODE: 3351905
SUBJECT: ESTIMATING, COSTING AND ENGINEERING CONTRACTING.

NOTES:
1. It is compulsory for the student to :
a. get the data from department website and attach the copy along with term work
report.
b. to prepare log book of exercises. It is also required to get each exercise recorded in
logbook, checked and duly dated signed by teacher.PA component of practical
marks is dependent on continuous and timely evaluation and submission of
exercises.
2. This is suggestive way and teacher may follow another way within the objectives and
content of syllabus.
3. Below are the minimum experiences required, but the teacher can do more experiences if
possible. In case of deviation between this term work data and syllabus, syllabus will be the
final base.
4. Students are instructed to follow the instructions given separately for them.
5. Term work report of student of regular mode should exclude Distance Learning manual,
photocopies, printed content(except visual aids), etc. Focus should be on developing the
term work as original efforts of students.
6. I-card is compulsory.
7. Follow safety rules strictly.
8. Workshop journal, Boiler suit and shoes are compulsory for workshop base courses.
9. Always keep pencils, rubber, scale/set squares, file pages, compass and calculator with you.
10. Student activities are compulsory and are part of term work.
11. Submit the term work with FILE COLOUR-ORANGE.

e. Estimate casting cost for each part, show the assumptions and steps followed to
estimate casting cost.
f. Derive total cost of the part.
5. Forging estimation:
4 hours. a. Determine raw material volume for all forged parts.
b. Prepare die drawings (production drawings with all dimensions, surface finishes,
allowances, etc.) for all parts.
c. Estimate dies cost.
d. Determine material and consumables costs.
e. Estimate forging cost for each part, show the assumptions and steps followed to
estimate forging cost.
f. Derive total cost of parts.
6. Machining estimation:
6 hours. a. Determine raw material volume for all machined parts.
b. For each part, tabulate operation, cutting tool/s to be used and cutting parameters
(speed, feed and depth of cut) to be used.
c. Estimate raw material cost.
d. Estimate machining cost for each part, show the assumptions and steps followed
to estimate machining cost.
e. Derive total cost of parts.
7. Process estimation:
4 hours. a. Estimate hourly rate of running diesel generating set based on the input data
assigned by the teacher. Show the assumptions and steps followed to estimate the
rate.
b. Estimate hourly rate of running ice plant based on the input data assigned by the
teacher. Also estimate the rate to produce a Ton of ice with same data. Show the
assumptions and steps followed to estimate the rate.
c. Estimate hourly rate of running heat exchanger based on the input data assigned
