Course Outcomes:
After learning the course the students should be able to:
Scheme of Examination:
Two questions to be set from each module. Students have to answer five full questions, choosing
one full question from each module.
Assignment:
Course work includes a Design project. Design project should enable the students to design a
mechanical system (like single stage reduction gear box with spur gears, single stage worm
reduction gear box, V-belt and pulley drive system, machine tool spindle with bearing mounting,
C-clamp, screw jack, single plate clutch, etc.)A group of students (maximum number in a group
should be 4) should submit assembly drawing and part drawings, completely dimensioned,
indicating the necessary manufacturing tolerances, surface finish symbols and geometric
tolerances wherever necessary. Design project must be completed using appropriate solid
modeling software. Computer generated drawings must be submitted. Design calculations must
be hand written and should be included in the report.
