Course Introduction:

There is a need for machine tools and processes which can accurately and easily machine the most
difficult-to-machine materials and workpieces with intricate and accurate shapes. In order to meet
these challenges, a number of newer material removal processes have now been developed to the
level of commercial utilization. These newer methods are also called unconventional in the sense
that conventional tools are not employed for metal cutting. This course aims at bringing the
students up-to-date with the latest technological developments and research trends in the field of
unconventional / nontraditional / modern machining processes. It includes study of various non-
conventional machining processes like….

Course Introduction:
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the simulation of fluids engineering systems using
modeling (mathematical physical problem formulation) and numerical methods (discretization
methods, solvers, numerical parameters, and grid generations, etc.). To solve fluid problem, we
should know the physical properties of fluid by using Fluid Mechanics. Then we can use
mathematical equations to describe these physical properties. This is Navier-Stokes Equation and
it is the governing equation of CFD. As the Navier-Stokes Equation is analytical, human can
understand it and solve them on a piece of paper. But if we want to solve this equation by computer,
we have to translate it to the discretized form. The translators are numerical discretization methods,
such as Finite Difference, Finite Element, Finite Volume methods. Consequently, we also need to
divide our whole problem domain into many small parts because our discretization is based on
them. Then, we can write programs to solve them. The typical languages are Fortran and C.
Normally the programs are run on workstations or supercomputers. At the end, we can get our
simulation results. We can compare and analyze the simulation results with experiments and the
real problem. If the results are not sufficient to solve the problem, we have to repeat the process
until find satisfied solution. This is the process of CFD.

Course objectives:
• To learn computational solution techniques for various types of partial differential
equations
• To model fluid / heat transfer problems and apply fundamental conservation principles.
• To discretize the governing differential equations and domain by Finite Difference Method.
• To solve basic convection and diffusion equations and understands the role in fluid flow
and heat transfer.
• To prepare the students for career in industry in CAE through use of software tools.
• To prepare the students for research leading to higher studies.

After completion of the course the students will be able to:-
1. Analyze and model fluid flow and heat transfer problems.
2. Generate high quality grids and interpret the correctness of numerical results with
physics.
3. Use a CFD tool effectively for practical problems and research.

Course Introduction:
Software engineering is an engineering approach for software development. We can
alternatively view it as a systematic collection of past experience. The experience is arranged in
the form of methodologies and guidelines. A small program can be written without using software
engineering principles. But if one wants to develop a large software product, then software
engineering principles are indispensable to achieve a good quality software cost effectively. These
definitions can be elaborated with the help of a building construction analogy.
Despite the threat of viruses and malware almost since the dawn of computing, awareness
of the security and sanctity of data with computer systems didn’t gain traction until the explosive
growth of the internet, whereby the exposure of so many machines on the web provided a veritable
playground for hackers to test their skills – bringing down websites, stealing data, or committing
fraud. It’s something we now call cybercrime. Combating this is a multi-disciplinary affair that
spans hardware and software through to policy and people – all of it aimed at both preventing
cybercrime occurring in the first place, or minimizing its impact when it does. This is the practice
of cyber security. There is no silver bullet, however; cyber security is a constantly evolving,
constantly active process just like the threats it aims to prevent.

Course Objectives:
The Course should enable the student
1. To be acquainted with the software Project development life cycle models.
2. To design and develop correct and robust software products.
3. To analyze business requirements pertaining to software development.
4. To be acquainted with Cyber security norms.

Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course students will be able to
1. Select a proper software life cycle model for design and development.
2. Prepare a prototype model
3. Focus on the fundamentals of developing a Software Project.
4. Get Software Requirement Specification from client, analyze, design and estimate the cost of
development of a Software Project
