ME

Consultation: 3/6 Year : IV

Part : I/ II
Course Objective:
To plan and complete an individual mechanical engineering design project under the
supervision of a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. To
prepare written report and give oral examination.

General Procedures:
The project course will involve working on a design project under the supervision of
a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The subject of the
project should be as relevant as possible to the local industrial environment and may
be selected in consultation with an industrial firm or government departments. The
students are advised to select the project topic at the beginning of the term (Part I of
the fourth year). The consultation hour of Supervisor will be three hours in the part I
and Six hours in the Part II of the fourth year.

Course Requirements:
1. A detailed project proposal is to be submitted to the HOD within two weeks of
the start of the term. The HOD and supervisor will decide whether the project is
accepted or not. An oral presentation (10 minutes plus 10 minutes for question)
will take place at a convenient time of supervisor and evaluation committee. The
written proposal and oral reports will account for 5 marks.
2. A written mid-term progress report is to be submitted 2-3 weeks before the end
of the term (Part A of the fourth year). An oral presentation (15 minutes plus 15
minutes for question) will take place at a convenient time of supervisor and
evaluation committee. The mid-term written and oral reports will account for 25
marks.
3. A final written report (in the provided format by department) will be submitted
before the end of 12' week of the term (4" year, Part II). This report will be
evaluated by the supervisor, members of examination committee and external
examiner. This will account for 50 marks.
4. An oral examination of the final report will be conducted during the 15 week of
the term (4th year, Part II) at a time convenient to the examination committee,
supervisor and the student. The final oral examination will account for 50 marks

Practical:
1. Homework Problems
Traditional homework problems will be assigned periodically from the textbook.
These problems may include derivations and analytical problems requiring hand
computations.
2. Assignments
5 projects will be assigned throughout the semester requiring the use of Simulation
Software. These projects are to be done individually. A brief report describing the
objectives of the analysis, modelling techniques used, and results must be submitted
for each project.
3. Group Design Project/Research Project
A group design project will also be required by the end of the semester. This project
will be conceived by the group, must be of a “design” nature (no unique answer will
exist), and will require the use of Simulation Software (with more than one
iteration). Groups of 3-4 people will work on the project. A final report must be
submitted detailing the objectives, modelling techniques and assumptions, and
results of the project. In place of a design project, students are required to complete
a research-oriented project that uses advanced capabilities of Simulation Software.
