UNIT I INTRODUCTION
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the technology concerned with the use of computer system to
assist the creation, modification, analysis and optimization of design. CAD process is the subset
of the design process. Industries have to continuously upgrade their products as well as
introduce new products in the market in order to retain as well as to increase their market share.
The product development is the responsibility of the research and development (R&D)
department of a manufacturing company. When a product is initially introduced the sales
volume will be low..

OBJECTIVE:
The main objective is to give an opportunity to the student to get hands on training in the
fabrication of one or more components of a complete working model, which is designed
by them.
GUIDELINE FOR REVIEW AND EVALUATION
The students may be grouped into 2 to 4 and work under a project supervisor. The
device/ system/component(s) to be fabricated may be decided in consultation with the
supervisor and if possible with an industry.
A project report to be submitted by the group and the fabricated model, which will be
reviewed and evaluated for internal assessment by a Committee constituted by the Head
of the Department. At the end of the semester examination the project work is evaluated
based on oral presentation and the project report jointly by external and internal
examiners constituted by the Head of the Department.
TOTAL : 60 PERIODS
