1. RATIONALE
Now a days as an advancement of technology interdisciplinary knowledge is must for the
engineering diploma holders. An engineering diploma holder expected to look after many
activities at work place, which may be of interdisciplinary. Knowledge other than own
discipline plays important role in the development of individual as well as society. This
course mainly encompasses the major areas of mechanical engineering which are being used
by engineering diploma holders and are required to perform tasks such as selection of hand
tools, power tools, welding, cutting, manufacturing processes, diesel generator sets,
refrigeration and air conditioning, hydro-pneumatic devices/equipment, and material
handling equipment used for various purposes. Such skills can be developed by knowing the
basic principles of mechanical engineering. The motive of this subject is to enhance the
knowledge & skill level in the interdisciplinary area. This course is designed in such a way
that practical performed in this course will develop these basic skills to perform well in
industry as well as in field work.
2. COMPETENCY
The purpose of this course is to help the student to attain the following industry identified
competency through various teaching learning experiences:

20 retracts a single acting (spring return) and double acting cylinder
on a given training kit.
Design and assemble a hydraulic circuit that extends and retracts V 02*
21 a single acting (spring return) and double acting cylinder on a
given training kit.
22 Identify different material handling equipment. VI 02
Minimum 14 Practical Exercises # 28Hrs
Note
i. (#)Minimum 14 (fourteen) practical have to be performed which is equal to 28 hours and
it should be a proper mix of practical which cover all the units.
ii. More Practical Exercises can be designed and offered by the respective course teacher to
develop the industry relevant skills/outcomes to match the COs. The above table is only a
suggestive list of practical.
iii. The following are some sample ‘Process’ and ‘Product’ related skills (more may be
added/deleted depending on the course) that occur in the above listed Practical Exercises
of this course required which are embedded in the COs and ultimately the competency.

The ADOs are best developed through the laboratory/field based exercises. Moreover, the
level of achievement of the ADOs according to Krathwohl’s ‘Affective Domain Taxonomy’
should gradually increase as planned below:
i. ‘Valuing Level’ in 1st year
ii. ‘Organization Level’ in 2nd year.
iii. ‘Characterization Level’ in 3rd year.
8. UNDERPINNING THEORY
The major underpinning theory is given below based on the higher level UOs of Revised
Bloom’s taxonomy that are formulated for development of the COs and competency. If
required, more such UOs could be included by the course teacher to focus on attainment of
COs and competency.
Unit Unit Outcomes (UOs) Topics and Sub-topics
(4 to 6 UOs at different levels)
Unit – I 1a. Describe the significance of 1.1. Introduction of mechanical
mechanical engineering in daily engineering.
Basic routine. 1.2. Use of mechanical engineering
Mechanical 1b. Describe the procedure to a. In day to day life.
Tools and Identify mechanical tools in b. Interdisciplinary use
Components general use. 1.3. Items in general use-
1c. Select pipe and pipe fitting identification criteria, major
tools. types, specifications and uses:
a) Student will visit the respective discipline industry / site and will prepare the list of
mechanical engineering related equipment/machineries used by that industry / site.
b) Prepare a seminar on casting Processes.
c) Prepare a power point presentation on metal forming process.
d) Prepare a list of household items which are made by joining processes.
e) Prepare a chart on construction and working of various boilers.
f) Visit a nearby automobile workshop and collect parts of IC engine from scrap.
g) Prepare property table for different types of refrigerants/alternate fuels.
h) Collect videos, animation showing working of various hydro/pneumatic devices.
i) Visit a nearby industry and prepare a report on different types of material handling
equipments.
j) Students will visit the industry and collect the specification and features of different
water turbine and submit the report.
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. This has to match the competency and the
COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course teacher:
a) Gear: Build model of different gears from cardboard.
b) Boilers: Build model of different mountings with suitable material.
c) IC Engine: Build model of IC Engine parts from cardboard.
d) Casting: Prepare cast product with wax material.
e) Pump: Collect leaflets of pump from market, analyze and compare specifications.
f) Material Handling Equipment: Collect information on different material handling
equipment used in power plant/ construction site/Mining industries/Process
industries/heavy manufacturing industries/ship building industries/aircraft industries
from the internet.
g) Air conditioning and Refrigeration Controls : Make models of controls
demonstrating their functions at least 3 under guidance of instructor/teacher in lab/
workshop.
