Practical:
1.
Pro-active
learning approach: Each student will
carry out a research project. S/he should write 4-8 pages summary on her/his
topic and
deliver it taking 10-15 minute time. The sample topic may be one of the
following:
a)
Design for manufacturing
b)
Material selection for gear
c)
Design for assembly
d)
Optimal design
e)
Value engineering
f)
Patenting
g)
Bench marking
2.
Undertaking
Design project: One team of the student will be 2 to 3 in number and
it will complete a design project of a product on:
a)
A gravel conveyor
b)
A garage door opener
c)
A lifting device
d)
A maze planter
e)
A sprinkler
f)
A mechanical jack to lift and lower the
load
3.
Live
field project: Mechanical design related industrial problems as an
assignment.
Tutorial:
1.
Problem solving on related topics.
2.
Old questions of TU examination will be the
base for tutorial classes.
3.
Number of numerical examples in each
chapter should be solved in the classes according to the weight-age given for
TU final examination.
4.
Preference is to be given for applied type
of questions that includes synthesis and analysis of real problem of machine
design.
Evaluation Scheme:
The
questions will cover all the chapters of the syllabus. The evaluation scheme
will be as indicated in the table below
