(Code: 3331906)

Diploma Programme in which this course is offered Semester in which offered

Mechanical Engineering 3rd Semester

1. RATIONALE
The students of mechanical engineering programme are mainly involved in drafting,
manufacturing, inspection and planning activities (such as preparing process plans,
preparing bill of materials, etc.) in industries. For all such activities, reference document
is the drawing of component/assembly to be manufactured. In this context, it is of utmost
importance to prepare, read and interpret these drawings correctly for production of
components and assemblies accurately and precisely. The industrial practices of drafting
are also important for the students to make them aware of drafting practices, symbols,
codes, norms and standards generally used in industries.

Development of sketching ability also strengthens effective engineering communication

& presentation. Now a days the market driven economy demands frequent changes in
product design to suit the customer needs. With the introduction of computers the task of
incorporating frequent changes as per requirement is becoming simpler. This course has
been introduced at Diploma level in order to develop the skills in student so that they can
generate various digital production drawings as required in industry using various CAD
software.
.
2. COMPETENCY (Programme Outcome according to NBA Terminology)
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop differen
types of skills so that students are able to acquire following competency.

 Prepare production drawings using computer and relevant software and

following standards codes and norms.

6. SUGGESTED LIST OF PRACTICAL/EXERCISES

The practical/exercises should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt to

develop different types of practical skills (Course Outcomes in psychomotor and affective
domain) so that students are able to acquire the competencies (Programme Outcomes).
Following is the list of practical exercises for guidance.

Note: Here only course outcomes in psychomotor domain are listed as practical/exercises.
However, if these practical/exercises are completed appropriately, they would also lead to
development of programme outcomes/course outcomes in affective domain as given in a
common list at the beginning of curriculum document for this programme. Faculty should
refer to that common list and should ensure that students also acquire those programme
outcomes/course outcomes related to affective domain.
