RATIONALE:
Day by day, engineering and technology experience tremendous growth. Design
plays a major role in developing engineering and technology. Strength of material is
backbone for design. The strength of material deals generally with the behaviour of
objects, when they are subject to actions of forces. Evaluations derived from these
basic fields provide the tools for investigation of mechanical structure.

OBJECTIVES
 Acquire knowledge about materials properties.
 Calculate the deformation of materials, which are subjected to axial load and
shear.
 Determine the moment of Inertia of various sections used in industries.
 Estimate the stresses induced in thin shells.
 Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram of the beam for different

RATIONALE:
The purpose of this subject is to teach the students the fundamentals of engineering
fluid mechanics in a very general manner so that they can understand the way that
forces are produced and transmitted by fluids that are, first, essentially at rest and,
second, in motion. This will allow them to apply the physical principles behind some
of the most common applications of fluid mechanics in engineering.

OBJECTIVES:
 To study the basic fluid properties and types of flow;
 To understand the transmission of pressure in liquids and its application to
hydraulics;
 To calculate hydrostatic forces on plane and curved submerged surfaces;
 To employ the concept of continuity of flow and use Bernoulli's equation to
measure flow rate and velocity;
 To apply the momentum principle to liquids in jets and pipes.
 To understand the working of hydraulic machines like, turbines, pumps.
 To identify the various components of a Hydraulic & Pneumatic systems and
select them for design of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits for Engineering
applications.

RATIONALE:
There is an ever increasing demand for energy in spite of the rising prices of oil &
other fossil fuel / depletion of fossil fuels. Energy demand, in particular electricity
production has resulted in creation of fossil fuel based power plants that let out
substantial greenhouse gas / carbon emission into the atmosphere causing climate
change and global warming. We have various forms of renewable energy sources
viz., Wind, Solar, Biomass, Biogas, etc. Municipal and Industrial wastes could also
be useful sources of energy while ensuring safe disposal. This subject is introduced
to learn about the major renewable energy sources and more focus on the PV
module solar energy. The government act and guidelines are discussed for the
benefit of the Diploma Engineers.

OBJECTIVES:
1. Study about the fundamentals of Energy.
2. Study of construction and principle of Wind energy, Solar energy, Geo thermal
and Bio energy.
3. Understand the solar energy.
4. Understand the PV design and its components.
5. Study the energy conservation process.
6. Understand the Government Policies and Acts.
7. Study the TEDA projects in Tamil Nadu.

RATIONALE:
The world is transitioning to cleaner mobility options with the aim at improving air
quality and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Electric Vehicles (EVs) have
emerged a popular clean mobility choice to reduce emissions. EVs are powered fully
or partially by batteries, they can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels also air
quality. Tamil Nadu is one of the most advanced states in India. Tamil Nadu has a
highly developed industrial eco-system and is very strong in sectors like automobiles
and auto-components. Many globally renowned companies have setup their
manufacturing facilities in Tamil Nadu. Due the rapid depletion of fossil fuel and
increase in fuel cost, environmental pollution, the shift to clean transport is
necessary. This subject introduced by keeping all the above factors.

RATIONALE:
Rapid industrialization and globalization needs industries to be more competitive and
deliver cost effective quality products. This needs industries to implement flexible
manufacturing systems where Robotic technology plays major role. Hence study of
robotic technology is very essential.
3D printing is often utilized when manufacturers need to create a product accurately,
quickly and at a low quantity. This has lead to 3D printers being brought in to
prototype industrial robots, helping to aid the development of better, more
efficient robots in the industrial sector.
OBJECTIVES:
 Understand fundamentals of robotics
 Acquire knowledge structure and elements of robot
 Gain knowledge on controller and various drives used in robotics
 Develop knowledge on role of sensors and vision system
 Acquire skill to program and control robot
 Understand to adopt robot to various industrial applications.
 To acquire the knowledge on 3D Printing and design principles for additive
manufacturing
 To understand the principles of latest manufacturing processes in Additive
