Introduction: Basic Mechanical Engineering is a brief overview of mechanical engineering that makes the students familiar
with the basic concepts of Mechanical Engineering. It provides a systematic introduction to the basic elements of mechanical
systems while emphasizing the underlying working principles important in understanding the functioning of mechanical
systems and processes which involves energy carrier (working fluid i.e. steam), energy and its transformation, steam
generator, refrigeration and air-conditioning, power producing and consuming devices, power transmission devices and
manufacturing processes.

engineering practice.
[PO.8].[[PO.9].] Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse
teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
[PO.9].[[PO.10].] Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering
community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design
documentation, make effective presentations and give and receive clear instructions.
[PO.10].[[PO.11].] Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and
management principles and apply these to owners own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage
projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
[PO.11].[[PO.12].] Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in
independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
